The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to verify the two statements regarding the triangle with sides 13, 14, and 15. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the sides of the triangle:** Let the sides of the triangle be: - \( a = 13 \) - \( b = 14 \) - \( c = 15 \) 2. **Calculate the semi-perimeter (s):** The semi-perimeter \( s \) is given by the formula: \[ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} \] Substituting the values: \[ s = \frac{13 + 14 + 15}{2} = \frac{42}{2} = 21 \] 3. **Calculate the area (Δ) using Heron's formula:** Heron's formula states: \[ \Delta = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \] Now substitute the values: \[ \Delta = \sqrt{21(21-13)(21-14)(21-15)} \] Simplifying further: \[ \Delta = \sqrt{21 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6} \] 4. **Simplify the expression under the square root:** Calculate each term: - \( s - a = 21 - 13 = 8 \) - \( s - b = 21 - 14 = 7 \) - \( s - c = 21 - 15 = 6 \) Now, we have: \[ \Delta = \sqrt{21 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6} \] 5. **Factor the expression:** We can factor it as follows: \[ 21 = 7 \times 3, \quad 8 = 2^3, \quad 6 = 2 \times 3 \] Thus: \[ \Delta = \sqrt{(7 \times 3) \times (2^3) \times 7 \times (2 \times 3)} = \sqrt{7^2 \times 3^2 \times 2^4} \] 6. **Calculate the square root:** Taking the square root: \[ \Delta = 7 \times 3 \times 2^2 = 7 \times 3 \times 4 = 84 \] 7. **Calculate the radius of the incircle (r):** The radius \( r \) of the incircle is given by: \[ r = \frac{\Delta}{s} \] Substituting the values: \[ r = \frac{84}{21} = 4 \] ### Conclusion: - **Statement I** is true: The radius of the incircle is indeed 4. - **Statement II** is also true as it correctly describes the relationship between the area, semi-perimeter, and the radius of the incircle. Thus, both statements are correct.
