The area of the triangle's incircle is 8.75 sq.unit.

Explanation:

/_A = pi/2= 180/2=90^0 , /_B = pi/6=180/6= 30^0

:. /_C= 180-(90+30)=60^0 ; A_t=18

We now Area , A_t= 1/2*b*c*sinA or b*c=(2*18)/sin90 = 36 ,

similarly ,a*c=(2*18)/sin30 = 72 , and

a*b=(2*18)/sin60 ~~41.57;(a*b)*(b*c)*(c.a)=(abc)^2

= (36*72*41.57) :.abc=sqrt((36*72*41.57))=328.25

a= (abc)/(bc)=328.25/36~~9.12 unit

b= (abc)/(ac)=328.25/72~~4.56 unit

c= (abc)/(ab)=328.25/41.57~~7.90 unit

Semi perimeter : S/2=(9.12+4.56+7.90)/2=10.79 unit

Incircle radius is r_i= A_t/(S/2) = 18/10.79=1.67 unit

Incircla Area = A_i= pi* r_i^2= pi*1.67^2 =8.75 sq.unit

The area of the triangle's incircle is 8.75 sq.unit [Ans]
