How does one compute the minimal inradius of an arbitrary convex (not necessarily tangential) quadrilateral? Is there an easy formula I did overlook? Or is embedding the convex into a tangential quadrilateral the easiest approach?

0Indeed minimal was a misnomer. I mean the radius of a circle fully enclosed by the quadrilateral, yet touching as many as possible edges. If there is more than one possibility touching three edges, choose the minimal. – 2012-07-22
