The area of the triangle is given by \( \frac{1}{2}ab \). The semi-perimeter \( s \) of the triangle is \( \frac{a + b + c}{2} \). The radius of the inscribed circle \( r \) can be expressed as \( r = \frac{A}{s} \), where \( A \) is the area of the triangle. Therefore, \( r = \frac{\frac{1}{2}ab}{\frac{a + b + c}{2}} = \frac{ab}{a + b + c} \). The area of the inscribed circle is \( \pi r^2 \). Substituting for \( r \), the area of the circle is \( \pi \left(\frac{ab}{a + b + c}\right)^2 \). The
