The inradius r is the radius of the inscribed circle (incircle), tangent to all three sides. r = , where s is the semi-perimeter. Alternative forms: r = (s-a)tan = (s-b)tan = (s-c)tan, and r = 4R sinsinsin. The three exradii r1, r2, r3 are radii of excircles opposite to vertices A, B, C respectively. r1 = = stan = 4R sincoscos, and similarly for r2, r3. Key relationships: r1 + r2 + r3 - r = 4R, r1r2r3 = r, 1/r = 1/r1 + 1/r2 + 1/r3. The Euler relation connecting circumcenter O and incenter I: = - 2Rr = R(R-2r), which also proves r <= R/2 (Euler's inequality).
