In a Δ\DeltaABC, b = 12 units, c = 5 units and Δ\Delta = 30
square units. If d is the distance between vertex A and incenter of the

triangle then the value of d^4 is

Show answer and solution
Al=rcosecA2=ΔScosecA2Al = rcosec\frac{A}{2} = \frac{\Delta}{S}cosec\frac{A}{2}
Δ=12bc sinA\Delta = \frac{1}{2}bc\ sinA
sinA = 1
⇒A=π2\Rightarrow A = \frac{\pi}{2}
a^2 = b^2 + c^2
⇒\Rightarrow a = 13
Al = 2
2\sqrt{2} units
