Can you solve this problem not thru the using ready firmulas but thru using the Given-Find block

Unfortunately Emre did quite some crossposting. The inscribed circle wasn't the sole purpose and it wasn't meant to be 2D. See the "main" post here: http://communities.ptc.com/message/201417#201417

Thanks! But the question was "Can you solve this problem not thru the using ready firmulas but thru using the Given-Find block?"

What is better (for students) - using ready (and unclear) formulas from reference books (and from Werner's solution) or searching own solution based on one formula - Pythagorean theorem:
