To prove that the radius \( r \) of the incircle of a right triangle with sides \( a \), \( b \), and hypotenuse \( c \) is given by the formula \( r = \frac{a + b - c}{2} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Triangle and the Incircle In a right triangle, the incircle is the circle that touches all three sides of the triangle. The radius of this circle is what we need to find. ### Step 2: Use the Area of the Triangle The area \( A \) of a right triangle can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
