Question

The circumradius of a triangle is 9 cm while the inradius of it is 4 cm. What is the distance between the circumcentre and the incentre of the triangle?

A.

4 cm

B.

2 cm

C.

3 cm

D.

5 cm

Correct option is C

Given:

The circumradius R = 9 cm

The inradius r = 4 cm
We need to find the distance between the circumcenter and the incenter of the triangle.

Formula Used:
The distance d between the circumcenter (O) and the incenter (I) of a triangle is given by the formula:

d=R(R2r) = \sqrt{R(R - 2r)}

Where:

R is the circumradius

r is the inradius

Solution:

Substitute the given values into the formula:

d =9(92×4) \sqrt{9(9 - 2 \times 4)}

d =9(98) \sqrt{9(9 - 8)}

d =9×1 \sqrt{9 \times 1}

d =9=3 cm \sqrt{9} = 3 \, \text{cm}

The distance between the circumcenter and the incenter is 3 cm.
