Circumscribed 83152

Given is an isosceles triangle whose base is 8 cm, and the sides are 15 cm long. Calculate the area of the triangle and the radius of the inscribed and circumscribed circle.

Correct answer:

S =  57.8273 cm2
r =  3.0435 cm
R =  7.7818 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a=8 cm b=15 cm  b2 = h2+(a/2)2  h=b2(a/2)2=152(8/2)2=209 cm14.4568 cm  S=2a h=28 14.4568=4 209=57.8273 cm2
s=(a+2 b)/2=(8+2 15)/2=19 cm  S = s r  r=S/s=57.8273/19=3.0435 cm
S =  4 R abc   R=4 Sa b b=4 57.82738 15 15=7.7818 cm
