Perimeter
is a length of a line that bounds an area

We can rearrange this to make a formula to find the circumference of a circle given
its diameter.
C = πd
The circumference of a circle
C = πd

Circle inscribed in a triangle
Where:
A= rs r= radius of a circle
s= semi-perimeter of a triangle
A= Area of triangle
Where:
A= abc r= radius of a circle
a,b,c = sides of a triangle
4r A= area of triangle
Given: a=80 cm
b= 100 cm
c= 140 cm
Required: r?
Formula:
A= rS
A2= S(S-a)(S-b)(S-c) A= r s
S= (a+b+c)/2
S= (80+100+140)/2 3,919.18= r (160)
S= 160 r= 24.49 cm.
A2= S(S-a)(S-b)(S-c)
A2 = 160(160-80)(160-100)(160-140)
A2 = 15,360,000
A=3,919.18 sq. cm

2. The sides of triangle are 70, 95 and 135 centimeters. Determine the
radius of the circumscribing circle.
A= abc A2= S(S-a)(S-b)(S-c)
4r S= (a+b+c)/2
S= (70+95+135)/2
r = abc S= 150 cm
4A
A2= S(S-a)(S-b)(S-c)
r = (70)(95)(135) cm3 A2 = 150(150-70)(150-95)(150-135)
