Question 1119114: There is a 3 4 5 right triangle. There is also a circle inscribed in the triangle and you are able to draw tangent points. What is the radius of the circle? Answer by ikleyn(52884) (Show Source):
For ANY right angled triangle with the legs "a" and "b" and the hypotenuse "c",
where c = ,
the radius of the inscribed circle r = .
