In this article, we will talk about how to express the area of a polygon in which a circle can be inscribed in terms of the radius of this circle. It is immediately worth noting that not every polygon can be inscribed in a circle. However, if this is possible, then the formula by which the area of such a polygon is calculated becomes very simple. Read this article to the end or watch the attached video tutorial and you will learn how to express the area of a polygon in terms of the radius of a circle inscribed in it.
Let's draw a polygon A 1 A 2 A 3 A 4 A 5 , not necessarily correct, but one in which a circle can be inscribed. Let me remind you that an inscribed circle is a circle that touches all sides of the polygon. In the figure, this is a green circle centered at a point O:
We have taken a 5-gon here as an example. But in fact, this is not essential, since the further proof is valid for both the 6-gon and the 8-gon, and in general for any "gon" arbitrarily.
If you connect the center of the inscribed circle with all the vertices of the polygon, then it will be divided into as many triangles as there are vertices in the given polygon. In our case: 5 triangles. If we connect the dot O with all points of contact of the inscribed circle with the sides of the polygon, you get 5 segments (in the figure below, these are the segments Oh 1 , Oh 2 , Oh 3 , Oh 4 and Oh 5), which are equal to the radius of the circle and are perpendicular to the sides of the polygon to which they are drawn. The latter is true, since the radius drawn to the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent:
How to find the area of our circumscribed polygon? The answer is simple. It is necessary to add up the areas of all the triangles obtained as a result of splitting:
Consider what is the area of a triangle. In the picture below, it is highlighted in yellow:
It is equal to half the product of the base A 1 A 2 to the height Oh 1 drawn to this base. But, as we have already found out, this height is equal to the radius of the inscribed circle. That is, the formula for the area of a triangle takes the form: , where r is the radius of the inscribed circle. Similarly, the areas of all the remaining triangles are found. As a result, the desired area of the polygon is equal to:
It can be seen that in all terms of this sum, common factor, which can be bracketed. The result is the following expression:
That is, in brackets there was simply the sum of all sides of the polygon, that is, its perimeter P. Most often, in this formula, the expression is simply replaced by p and call this letter "half-perimeter". As a result, the final formula becomes:
That is, the area of a polygon in which a circle of known radius is inscribed is equal to the product of this radius and the semiperimeter of the polygon. This is the result we were aiming for.
Finally, he notes that a circle can always be inscribed in a triangle, which is a special case of a polygon. Therefore, for a triangle, this formula can always be applied. For other polygons with more than 3 sides, you first need to make sure that a circle can be inscribed in them. If so, you can safely use this simple formula and find the area of \u200b\u200bthis polygon from it.

How to find the radius of a circle? This question is always relevant for schoolchildren studying planimetry. Below we will look at a few examples of how you can cope with the task.
Depending on the condition of the problem, you can find the radius of the circle like this.
Formula 1: R \u003d L / 2π, where L is and π is a constant equal to 3.141 ...
Formula 2: R = √(S / π), where S is the area of the circle.
Formula 1: R = B/2, where B is the hypotenuse.
Formula 2: R \u003d M * B, where B is the hypotenuse, and M is the median drawn to it.
How to find the radius of a circle if it is circumscribed around a regular polygon
Formula: R \u003d A / (2 * sin (360 / (2 * n))), where A is the length of one of the sides of the figure, and n is the number of sides in this geometric figure.
How to find the radius of an inscribed circle
An inscribed circle is called when it touches all sides of the polygon. Let's look at a few examples.
Formula 1: R \u003d S / (P / 2), where - S and P are the area and perimeter of the figure, respectively.
Formula 2: R \u003d (P / 2 - A) * tg (a / 2), where P is the perimeter, A is the length of one of the sides, and is the angle opposite this side.
How to find the radius of a circle if it is inscribed in right triangle
Formula 1:
Radius of a circle inscribed in a rhombus
A circle can be inscribed in any rhombus, both equilateral and inequilateral.
Formula 1: R = 2 * H, where H is the height geometric figure.
Formula 2: R \u003d S / (A * 2), where S is and A is the length of its side.
Formula 3: R \u003d √ ((S * sin A) / 4), where S is the area of \u200b\u200bthe rhombus, and sin A is the sine of the acute angle of this geometric figure.
Formula 4: R \u003d V * G / (√ (V² + G²), where V and G are the lengths of the diagonals of a geometric figure.
Formula 5: R = B * sin (A / 2), where B is the diagonal of the rhombus, and A is the angle at the vertices connecting the diagonal.
Radius of a circle that is inscribed in a triangle
In the event that in the condition of the problem you are given the lengths of all sides of the figure, then first calculate (P), and then the semi-perimeter (p):
P \u003d A + B + C, where A, B, C are the lengths of the sides of the geometric figure.
Formula 1: R = √((p-A)*(p-B)*(p-B)/p).
And if, knowing all the same three sides, you are also given, then you can calculate the required radius as follows.
Formula 2: R = S * 2(A + B + C)
Formula 3: R \u003d S / p \u003d S / (A + B + C) / 2), where - p is the semi-perimeter of the geometric figure.
Formula 4: R \u003d (n - A) * tg (A / 2), where n is the half-perimeter of the triangle, A is one of its sides, and tg (A / 2) is the tangent of half the angle opposite this side.
And the formula below will help you find the radius of the circle that is inscribed in
Formula 5: R \u003d A * √3/6.
Radius of a circle that is inscribed in a right triangle
If the problem is given the lengths of the legs, as well as the hypotenuse, then the radius of the inscribed circle is found out as follows.
Formula 1: R \u003d (A + B-C) / 2, where A, B are legs, C is the hypotenuse.
In the event that you are given only two legs, it's time to remember the Pythagorean theorem in order to find the hypotenuse and use the above formula.
C \u003d √ (A² + B²).
Radius of a circle that is inscribed in a square
The circle, which is inscribed in the square, divides all its 4 sides exactly in half at the points of contact.
Formula 1: R \u003d A / 2, where A is the length of the side of the square.
Formula 2: R \u003d S / (P / 2), where S and P are the area and perimeter of the square, respectively.
A circle is considered to be inscribed in the boundaries of a regular polygon if it lies inside it, while touching the lines that pass through all sides. Consider how to find the center and radius of a circle. The center of the circle will be the point where the bisectors of the corners of the polygon intersect. Radius is calculated: R=S/P; S is the area of the polygon, P is the semiperimeter of the circle.
Only one circle is inscribed in a regular triangle, the center of which is called the incenter; it is the same distance from all sides and is the intersection of the bisectors.
Often you have to decide how to find the radius of the inscribed circle in this geometric figure. It must be convex (if there are no self-intersections). A circle can be inscribed in it only if the sums of opposite sides are equal: AB+CD=BC+AD.
In this case, the center of the inscribed circle, the midpoints of the diagonals, are located on one straight line (according to Newton's theorem). The segment whose ends are located where the opposite sides of a regular quadrilateral intersect lies on the same line, called the Gauss line. The center of the circle will be the point at which the heights of the triangle intersect with the vertices, the diagonals (according to Brocard's theorem).
It is considered a parallelogram with the same side length. The radius of a circle inscribed in it can be calculated in several ways.

Inscribed and circumscribed circle
A circle inscribed in a regular polygon touches the sides of the polygon at their midpoints.
The center of a circle circumscribed about a regular polygon coincides with the center of a circle inscribed in the same polygon.
We derive the formula for the radius of the inscribed and the radius of the circumscribed circle of a regular polygon.
Let r be the radius of the inscribed circle,
R is the radius of the circumscribed circle,
n is the number of sides and angles of the polygon.
Consider a regular n-gon.
Let a be the side of the n-gon,
α is the angle.
Let's construct a point O - the center of the inscribed and circumscribed circle.
OS is the height ∆AOB.
∟ C \u003d 90 º - (by construction),
Consider ∆AOC:
∟ ОАС = α / 2 - (ОА is the bisector of the angle of the n-gon),
AC \u003d a / 2 - (OS - median to the base of an isosceles triangle),
∟ AOB = 360 º: p,
let ∟AOC = β .

Summarize
We know formulas:
If a circle is located inside an angle and touches its sides, it is called inscribed in this angle. The center of such an inscribed circle is located at bisector of this angle.
If it lies inside a convex polygon and is in contact with all its sides, it is called inscribed in a convex polygon.
A circle inscribed in a triangle touches each side of this figure at only one point. Only one circle can be inscribed in one triangle.
The radius of such a circle will depend on the following parameters triangle:
In order to calculate the radius of the inscribed circle in a triangle, it is not always necessary to know all the parameters listed above, since they are interconnected through trigonometric functions.
If we know area of a triangle and the lengths of all its sides, this will allow us to find the radius of the circle of interest to us without resorting to extracting roots.
If the condition of the problem contains the length of one of the sides, the value of the opposite angle and the perimeter, you can use trigonometric function- tangent. In this case, the calculation formula will look like this:
r \u003d (P / 2- a) * tg (α / 2), where r is the desired radius, P is the perimeter, a is the value of the length of one of the sides, α is the value opposite side, but the angle.
The radius of the circle, which will need to be inscribed in a regular triangle, can be found by the formula r = a*√3/6.
You can inscribe in a right triangle only one circle. The center of such a circle simultaneously serves as the intersection point of all bisectors. This geometric figure has some distinctive features that must be taken into account when calculating the radius of the inscribed circle.
It should be noted that the numerator of this formula is an indicator of the area. In this case, the formula for finding the radius is much simpler - it is enough to divide the area by a half-perimeter.
It is also possible to determine the area of a geometric figure if both legs are known. The sum of the squares of these legs is the hypotenuse, then the semi-perimeter is calculated. You can calculate the area by multiplying the lengths of the legs by each other and dividing the result by 2.
If the conditions give the lengths of both the legs and the hypotenuse, you can determine the radius using a very simple formula: for this, the lengths of the legs are added, the length of the hypotenuse is subtracted from the resulting number. The result must be divided in half.
From this video you will learn how to find the radius of a circle inscribed in a triangle.
