Theorem 4.1.2 (Heron’s Formula)

A triangle with sides a, b, c and semiperimeter s has an area of
q
s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c)

Definition 4.1.3 (In-radius). The inradius of a triangle is the radius of the inscribed circle
in the triangle.

Theorem 4.1.4 (Using inradius)

A triangle with inradius r (the radius of the circle that can be inscribed in a triangle)
and semiperimeter s has an area of:

inradius · semiperimeter
rs

Remark 4.1.5
Note that if we know the area of the triangle and it’s semi-perimeter, we can apply the
inradius formula to find the inradius of the triangle.

Definition 4.1.6 (Circumradius). The circum-radius of a triangle is the radius of circle that
a triangle is inscribed in.
