Area of triangle's incircle =17.25(2dp) sq.unit

Explanation:

/_A=pi/2=90^0;/_B=pi/4=45^0 ;/_C=180-(90+45)=45^0This is an isocelles right angled triangle AB=AC:.1/2*AB*AC=1/2*AB^2=32or AB^2=64or AB=8;AC=8; BC=sqrt(8^2+8^2)=sqrt128=11.31 Semi perimeter : s=(8+8+11.31)/2=13.655
Incircle radius: r=A_t/s=32/13.655=2.343:.Area of triangle's incircle : A_c=pi* 2.343^2=17.25(2dp)sq.unit[Ans]
