Calculating r, radius of the inscribed circle and area ABCD (isosceles trapezoid).


Notice.


Triangle AOD is a right-angled triangle


tana = 3/2

a = atan(3/2)°


tanb = 2/3

b = atan(2/3)°


Calculating r, radius of the inscribed circle.


sina = r/2

sin(atan(3/2)) = r/2

r = 1.66410058868 units.


Or


sinb = r/3

sin(atan(2/3) = r/3

r = 1.66410058868 units.


Calculating Area isosceles trapezoid ABCD.


c²+r² = 2²

c² = 2²-1.66410058868²

c = √(1.23076923075)

c = 1.10940039244 units.


d = 2c

d = 2(1.10940039244)

d = 2.21880078488 units.

d is AB.


e = 2r

e = 2(1.66410058868)

e = 3.32820117736 units.

e is the height of area ABCD.


f²+r² = 3²

f² = 3²-1.66410058868²

f = √(6.23076923075)

f = 2.49615088301 units.


g = 2f

g = 2(2.49615088301)

g = 4.99230176602 units.

g is CD.


Therefore, area ABCD is;


½(d+g)*e


= 0.5(2.21880078488+4.99230176602)*3.32820117736


= 12 square units.
