The correct Answer is:
To find the radius of the inscribed circle (inradius) of triangle ABC with sides \( a = 3 \), \( b = 4 \), and \( c = 5 \), we can use the formula for the inradius \( r \): \[ r = \frac{\Delta}{s} \] where \( \Delta \) is the area of the triangle and \( s \) is the semi-perimeter. ### Step 1: Calculate the semi-perimeter \( s \) The semi-perimeter \( s \) is given by: \[ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} \] Substituting the values: \[ s = \frac{3 + 4 + 5}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the area \( \Delta \) using Heron's formula Heron's formula states: \[ \Delta = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \] Substituting the values of \( s \), \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \): \[ \Delta = \sqrt{6(6-3)(6-4)(6-5)} \] \[ = \sqrt{6 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \] \[ = \sqrt{36} = 6 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the inradius \( r \) Now that we have both \( \Delta \) and \( s \), we can find the inradius: \[ r = \frac{\Delta}{s} = \frac{6}{6} = 1 \] Thus, the radius of the inscribed circle is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
