A circle is inscribed in a right – angled triangle with legs of length 5 and 12. What is the area of the quadrilateral formed by the two legs and the two radii to the tangent points on the legs?
एक वृत्त एक समकोण त्रिभुज के अन्दर बना है जिसकी भुजाओं की लंम्बाई 5 और 12 हैं। दो भुजाओं और भुजाओं पर स्पर्श बिंदुओं की दो त्रिज्याओं द्वारा निर्मित चतुर्भुज का क्षेत्रफल क्या हैं?
Detailed Solution & Logic
4 square units/ 4 वर्ग इकाइयाँ
Given a right-angled triangle with legs 5 cm and 12 cm.
Hypotenuse $= 13$ cm.
Inradius:
$r = \frac{5 + 12 - 13}{2} = 2$ cm
The radii to the tangent points on the two legs are perpendicular to the legs.
These radii (each of length $2$) together with the corner at the right angle form a square-like quadrilateral, whose sides are equal to the inradius.
So, the quadrilateral formed has side $r = 2$.
Area $= r^2 = 2^2 = 4$
Answer: $4 \text{ square units}$ (4 वर्ग इकाइयाँ)
