    Question

    ABC is a right angled triangle. A circle is inscribed in it. The length of the two sides containing the right angle are 10 cm and 24 cm. find the radius of the circle.

    A.

    5 cm

    B.

    3 cm

    C.

    2 cm

    D.

    4 cm

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    ABC is a right-angled triangle.

    A circle is inscribed in it.

    The length of the two sides containing the right angle are 10 cm and 24 cm 

    Formula used:

    Inradius(r)=P+BH2Inradius (r) = \frac{P+B-H}{2}​​

    Solution:

    Hypotenuse² = 10² + 24²    (Pythagoras theorem)

    Hypotenuse = √676 = 26

    Radius of the circle inside a triangle inradius (r) 

    => (10 + 24 - 26)/2

    => 8/2

    => 4

    Hence, correct answer is option (d).
