The inradius of a polygon is the radius of its incircle (assuming an incircle exists). It is commonly denoted .
Properties
- If has inradius and semi-perimeter , then the area of is . This formula holds true for other polygons if the incircle exists.
- The in radius satisfies the inequality , where is the circumradius (see below).
- If has inradius and circumradius , then .
Problems
- Verify the inequality .
- Verify the identity (see Carnot's Theorem).
