Excircle
The radius of an excircle. Let a triangle have exradius (sometimes denoted ), opposite side of length and angle , area , and semiperimeter . Then
$r_1 = \frac{\Delta}{s-a}
= \sqrt{\frac{s(s-b)(s-c)}{s-a}} = 4R\sin{\frac{A}{2}\cos{\frac{B}{2}}\cos{\frac{C}{2}}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) (Johnson 1929, p. 189), where is the circumradius. Let be the inradius, then

Some fascinating formulas due to Feuerbach are
