The sides of the triangle are 29 cm, 25 cm and 6 cm. Calculate the radius of the circle inscribed in the triangle.

The radius of a circle inscribed in a triangle can be found by the formula:
r = S / p,
where r is the radius of the inscribed circle, S is the area of the triangle, p is the semiperimeter of the triangle.
p = (a + b + c) / 2,
where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle.
p = (29 + 25 + 6) / 2 = 60/2 = 30 (cm).
The area of an arbitrary triangle, for which all three sides are known, can be found by Heron’s formula:
S = √ (p (p – a) (p – b) (p – c));
S = √ (30 (30 – 29) (30 – 25) (30 – 6)) = √ (30 * 1 * 5 * 24) = √3600 = 60 (cm square).
Substitute the known values into the formula and find the radius of the inscribed circle:
r = 60/30 = 2 (cm).
Answer: r = 2 cm.
