    In\[\Delta \,ABC\], if\[a=30,\,\,b=24,\,\,=18\], then\[{{r}_{3}}\]is equal to

    A)  15                         

    B)  18   

    C)  36         

    D)         12

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given sides of a triangle are                 \[a=30,\,\,b=24,\,\,c=18\] \[\therefore \]  \[s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}\]                 \[\frac{30+24+18}{2}=36\] Now, \[\Delta =\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\]                 \[=\sqrt{36(36-30)(36-24)(36-18)}\]                 \[=\sqrt{36\times 6\times 12\times 18}\]                 \[=\sqrt{36\times 36\times 36}=216\] \[\therefore \]       \[{{r}_{3}}=\frac{\Delta }{s-c}=\frac{216}{18}=12\]
