Triangle ABC is right angled at B. If AB = 15 cm and BC = 20 cm, what is the area of circle centered at B and tangent to the hypotenuse AC.
***
In the right triangle described above, label the point of tangency O.
r=radius of circle=BO
tanC=15/20=3/4=0.75
C≈36.87˚
Using right riangle BOC:
sinC=BO/20
BO=20sinC=20sin36.87˚=12
Area of circle=πr^2=π(12^2)=144π cm^2
