  1. Given data

    In triangle ABCABCABC, a=6, b=10a=6,\, b=10a=6,b=10 and area Δ=153.\Delta = 15\sqrt{3}.Δ=153​.

    Also, ∠C=∠ACB\angle C = \angle ACB∠C=∠ACB is obtuse.

    We need to find r2r^2r2, where rrr is the inradius.

  2. Use area formula with two sides and included angle

    Since sides adjacent to angle CCC are aaa and bbb, the area is Δ=12absin⁡C.\Delta = \frac12 ab\sin C.Δ=21​absinC.

    Substitute the values: 153=12⋅6⋅10⋅sin⁡C15\sqrt{3} = \frac12 \cdot 6 \cdot 10 \cdot \sin C153​=21​⋅6⋅10⋅sinC 153=30sin⁡C15\sqrt{3} = 30\sin C153​=30sinC sin⁡C=32.\sin C = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.sinC=23​​.

  3. Determine angle CCC

    Since sin⁡C=32\sin C = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}sinC=23​​, possible angles are C=60∘or120∘.C = 60^\circ \quad \text{or} \quad 120^\circ.C=60∘or120∘.

    Given that ∠C\angle C∠C is obtuse, we take C=120∘.C = 120^\circ.C=120∘.

  4. Find side ccc using the cosine rule

    c2=a2+b2−2abcos⁡C.c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\cos C.c2=a2+b2−2abcosC.

    Since cos⁡120∘=−12,\cos 120^\circ = -\frac12,cos120∘=−21​, we get c2=62+102−2⋅6⋅10(−12)c^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2\cdot 6 \cdot 10 \left(-\frac12\right)c2=62+102−2⋅6⋅10(−21​) c2=36+100+60=196c^2 = 36 + 100 + 60 = 196c2=36+100+60=196 c=14.c=14.c=14.

  5. Find semiperimeter

    s=a+b+c2=6+10+142=15.s = \frac{a+b+c}{2} = \frac{6+10+14}{2} = 15.s=2a+b+c​=26+10+14​=15.

  6. Use the area formula Δ=rs\Delta = rsΔ=rs

    153=r⋅1515\sqrt{3} = r \cdot 15153​=r⋅15 r=3.r = \sqrt{3}.r=3​.

  7. Compute r2r^2r2

    r2=(3)2=3.r^2 = (\sqrt{3})^2 = 3.r2=(3​)2=3.

Therefore, the required value is 3.\boxed{3}.3​.
