The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will start with the given information and apply the appropriate formulas. ### Step 1: Given Information We are given: - \( a = 6 \) - \( b = 10 \) - Area of triangle \( \Delta = 15\sqrt{3} \) square units - Angle \( \angle ACB \) is obtuse. ### Step 2: Use the Area Formula The area of a triangle can be expressed using the formula: \[ \Delta = \frac{1}{2} \times AC \times BC \times \sin(\angle ACB) \] Here, we can denote: - \( AC = b = 10 \) - \( BC = a = 6 \) Substituting the values into the area formula: \[ 15\sqrt{3} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 6 \times \sin(\angle ACB) \] This simplifies to: \[ 15\sqrt{3} = 30 \sin(\angle ACB) \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( \sin(\angle ACB) \) Dividing both sides by 30: \[ \sin(\angle ACB) = \frac{15\sqrt{3}}{30} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 4: Determine Angle \( C \) Since \( \angle ACB \) is obtuse, we find: \[ \angle ACB = 120^\circ \] ### Step 5: Use the Cosine Rule Using the cosine rule to find side \( c \): \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos(C) \] Substituting the known values: \[ c^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2 \times 6 \times 10 \times \cos(120^\circ) \] Since \( \cos(120^\circ) = -\frac{1}{2} \): \[ c^2 = 36 + 100 + 60 \] \[ c^2 = 196 \] Thus, \( c = \sqrt{196} = 14 \). ### Step 6: Calculate the Semi-Perimeter \( s \) The semi-perimeter \( s \) is given by: \[ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} = \frac{6 + 10 + 14}{2} = \frac{30}{2} = 15 \] ### Step 7: Find the Radius of the Inscribed Circle \( r \) The radius \( r \) of the inscribed circle is given by: \[ r = \frac{\Delta}{s} \] Substituting the values: \[ r = \frac{15\sqrt{3}}{15} = \sqrt{3} \] ### Step 8: Calculate \( r^2 \) Finally, squaring \( r \): \[ r^2 = (\sqrt{3})^2 = 3 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( r^2 \) is: \[ \boxed{3} \]
