An isosceles triangle has two 10.0-inch sides and a 2w-inch side. Find the radius of the inscribed circle of this triangle, in the cases w = 5.00, w = 6.00, and w = 8.00.

And Write an expression for the inscribed radius r in terms of the variable w , then find the value of w, to the nearest hundredth, that gives the maximum value of r.
