"The Area of the Incircle="pir^2=15sqrt3pi(2-sqrt3).

Explanation:

We solve this problem with the help of Trigo.

In the usual notation for the DeltaABC, by the Sine-Rule , .

a/sinA=b/sinB=c/sinC=2R.

rArr a/1=b/(1/2)=c/(sqrt3/2)=2R.

rArr a=2R, b=R, c=sqrt3R.

Now, the Area of DeltaABC=1/2bcsinA rArr 45=1/2*R*sqrt3R.

:. R^2=90/sqrt3=30sqrt3.

Also, the Area of DeltaABC=Delta=rs, where,

2s=a+b+c=2R+R+sqrt3R=sqrt3(sqrt3+1)R", so that,"

Delta=rs rArr 4Delta^2=r^2(2s)^2 rArr 4(45^2)=r^2(sqrt3(sqrt3+1)R)^2

rArr r^2=(4*45^2)/{3(sqrt3+1)^2*30sqrt3}=45/((2+sqrt3)sqrt3),

or, r^2=15sqrt3(2-sqrt3). And, therefore, finally,

"The Area of the Incircle="pir^2=15sqrt3pi(2-sqrt3).
