The inradius _r_ of the incircle in a triangle with sides of length _a, b, c_ is given by the formula *_r = √[(s − a) (s − b) (s − c) / s]_* where *_s = ½ (a + b + c)_* is the semiperimeter This follows from Heron's formula. In our case, _r_ = ⅙ √(231) units. Thank you PreMath! 🙏
There's a VERY different alternative way to solve this using trigonometry. Basically, (using any orientation, but where one side is horizontal) the line functions of the half-angles of the two base angles intersect at some 𝒙. The height of the intersecting lines is the radius. So what's the slope of a θ/2 line? Well, it turns out (spectacular FAIL) that several online "trigonometry identities" references got this wrong. Doing it by hand from [1.1] tan 2θ = 2 tan θ / (1 - tan² θ) … can be re-written as the half-angle formula [1.2] tan θ = 2 tan θ/2 / (1 - tan² θ/2) … then rearranged to [1.3] tan θ/2 = (-1 + √(1 + tan² θ)) / tan θ From some basic geometry of finding a height of an arbitrary triangle we get [2.1] 𝒒 = ( 𝒂² - 𝒃² + 𝒄² ) ÷ 2𝒄 … q is the distance 'in from the left' to find height [2.2] 𝒉 = √( 𝒂² - 𝒒² ) ... is height Where [𝒒] is the distance from (0, 0) along the horizontal axis where the [𝒉] height intersects the peak. This is NOT yet a solution. The tangent is [𝒉 / 𝒒]. So, that plugs into [1.3] readily enough to give the half-angle tangent. Good enough. This results in a 'half angle line'. Do the same thing for the right side, and you get the 'other half angle line' function. Cross them mathematically, and you get the intersection point; the height then is the mutual radius of the circle that fits inside the triangle. NOTE. If you do this … its good to test that your math is right by changing the lengths of the sides 8-9-10, 10-8-9 and so on. If you didn't make mistakes in the algebra or math, the SAME radius pops out at the end for all combinations.

Let's find the radius: . .. ... .... ..... When the area A and the perimeter P of the triangle are known, the radius R of the inscribed circle can be calculated as follows: A = (1/2)*P*R ⇒ R = 2*A/P The perimeter P and the area A can be obtained from the given side lengths: P = a + b + c = 8 + 9 + 10 = 27 A = √[s*(s − a)*(s − b)*(s − c)] with s = (a + b + c)/2 = P/2 A = √[(27/2)*(27/2 − 8)*(27/2 − 9)*(27/2 − 10)] = √[(27/2)*(27/2 − 16/2)*(27/2 − 18/2)*(27/2 − 20/2)] = √[(27/2)*(11/2)*(9/2)*(7/2)] = (9/4)√(3*11*7) = (9/4)√231 Now we are able to calculate the radius: R = 2*A/P = 2*(9/4)√231/27 = √231/6 ≈ 2.53

I haven't watched the video yet, but I might split the large triangle into three smaller triangles that each have r as the height. This gives the large triangle's area as 5r + 4r + 4.5r = 13.5r. I would then calculate the area with Heron's Formula (can't recall it to mind but can look it up). I would then divide the area from HF by 13.5 to find r. Perhaps I would double the area and divide by 27, but it depends what number HF gives me. I see my way approximates your first method. Your second method looks much cleaner though.

Well, it turns out (spectacular FAIL) that several online "trigonometry identities" references got this wrong. Doing it by hand from
[1.1] tan 2θ = 2 tan θ / (1 - tan² θ) … can be re-written as the half-angle formula
[1.2] tan θ = 2 tan θ/2 / (1 - tan² θ/2) … then rearranged to
[1.3] tan θ/2 = (-1 + √(1 + tan² θ)) / tan θ
From some basic geometry of finding a height of an arbitrary triangle we get
[2.1] 𝒒 = ( 𝒂² - 𝒃² + 𝒄² ) ÷ 2𝒄 … q is the distance 'in from the left' to find height
[2.2] 𝒉 = √( 𝒂² - 𝒒² ) ... is height
Where [𝒒] is the distance from (0, 0) along the horizontal axis where the [𝒉] height intersects the peak.
This is NOT yet a solution.
The tangent is [𝒉 / 𝒒]. So, that plugs into [1.3] readily enough to give the half-angle tangent.
Good enough. This results in a 'half angle line'. Do the same thing for the right side, and you get the 'other half angle line' function. Cross them mathematically, and you get the intersection point; the height then is the mutual radius of the circle that fits inside the triangle.

Let's find the radius:
.
..
...
....
.....
When the area A and the perimeter P of the triangle are known, the radius R of the inscribed circle can be calculated as follows:
A = (1/2)*P*R ⇒ R = 2*A/P
The perimeter P and the area A can be obtained from the given side lengths:
P = a + b + c = 8 + 9 + 10 = 27
A = √[s*(s − a)*(s − b)*(s − c)] with s = (a + b + c)/2 = P/2
A
= √[(27/2)*(27/2 − 8)*(27/2 − 9)*(27/2 − 10)]
= √[(27/2)*(27/2 − 16/2)*(27/2 − 18/2)*(27/2 − 20/2)]
= √[(27/2)*(11/2)*(9/2)*(7/2)]
= (9/4)√(3*11*7)
= (9/4)√231
Now we are able to calculate the radius:
R = 2*A/P = 2*(9/4)√231/27 = √231/6 ≈ 2.53
