Given:

In-radius of a triangle = 8 cm

Sum of the lengths of its sides = 60 cm

Concept:

The area of a triangle when the in-radius and semi-perimeter are given is the product of the in-radius and the semi-perimeter.

Solution:

Semi-perimeter of the triangle = 60 cm/2 = 30 cm

Area of the triangle = in-radius × semi-perimeter

⇒ Area of the triangle = 8 cm × 30 cm

⇒ Area of the triangle = 240 cm²

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 240 cm2.
