I saw the image of the triangle. It will be a circle inscribed in an isosceles triangle.

sides a and b have 18 cm and side c have 20 cm.

The triangle can be divided into 2 right triangles with 10 cm base, 18 cm hypotenuse. We need to find the measure of the long side to get the height of the isosceles triangle.

a² + b² = c² 
a² + (10cm)² = (18cm)² 
a² = 324 cm² - 100 cm²
a² = 224 cm²
a = √224 cm²
a = 14.97 cm

Area = 1/2 base height
A = 1/2 20 cm 14.97 cm
A = 149.70 cm²

A = r/2 p
149.70 cm² = r/2 (18cm+18cm+20cm)
149.70 cm² = r/2 56 cm
149.70 cm² ÷ 56 cm = r/2
2.67 cm = r/2
2.67 cm 2 = r
5.34 cm = r

Radius is 5.35 cm.
