Incircle of a triangle
[1-6] /6 | Disp-Num | ![]() ![]() |
- Purpose of use
- cutting a record (music) in the shape of a triangle, needed to figure out the size needed for roughly 6" diameter incircle
- Comment/Request
- would be useful to input the diameter of incircle needed, with the results being the length of the three sides.

- Purpose of use
- Finding the inscribed circle of a boring bar so that it can be converted to an equivalent carbide insert
- Comment/Request
- really good calculator
other geometries would also be useful (i.e. parallelogram, I can find calcs that provide an exterior circle but non-that do interior)

- Purpose of use
- Calculating useful area of patio shade.
- Comment/Request
- The inverse would also be useful but not so simple, e.g., what size triangle do I need for a given incircle area.

- Purpose of use
- As the previous comment stated, this was used to find the circular radius of the USPS Medium Tube (which ironically is a triangular prism) for the purposes of shipping items of circular cross-section (cylinders). The answer was about 1.5 inches, so the "tubes" are way too small for the items I wanted to ship inside. But that''s perfect for blueprints, its designed application.
