Question
Construct a triangle PQR in which, PQ = QR = RP = 5.7 cm. Draw the incircle of the triangle and measure its radius.
Solution
Steps of Construction:
(i) Draw an equilateral ∆ RPQ in which PQ = QR = RP = 5.7 cm each.
(ii) From P and Q cut the bisector of ∠P and ∠Q, which intersect each other at point O.
(iii) With P as a center draw an in a circle that touches all the three sides of ∆RPQ.
