Q. In the adjoining given figure, ABC is a right angled triangle at A.

find the area of the shaded region if AB = 6cm, BC = 10cm and I is

the center of incircle of ΔABC.

Sol.

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we have

Q. In the adjoining given figure, ABC is a right angled triangle at A.

find the area of the shaded region if AB = 6cm, BC = 10cm and I is

the center of incircle of ΔABC.

Sol.

Let radius of the incircle be ‘r’ cm .

Area of ΔABC =

Area of ΔBIC

+ Area of ΔAIC
