Problem:
is a cyclic quadrilateral with sides , , , and . A circle is tangent to segments , , and . Find the radius of .
Solution:
Denote as the intersection point of and . Let and . Because is a cyclic quadrilateral, is similar to . Therefore,
We get and .
Note that is the -excircle of , so we may finish by standard calculations.
Indeed, first we compute the semiperimeter
Now the radius of is (by Heron's formula for area)
