4. As shown in the figure, circle O is inscribed in $\triangle ABC$ touching sides $AC$, $BC$, and $AB$ at points $D$, $E$, and $F$ respectively, with $\angle C=90^{\circ}$. The area of $\triangle ABC$ is 6. Then $AF \cdot BF=$ $\qquad$
4.6 .

Let $A C=b, B C=a, A B=c, \odot O$ have a radius of $r$. Then
$$
\begin{array}{l}
r=\frac{a+b-c}{2} \cdot a^{2}+i^{2}=c^{2} . \\
\therefore A F \cdot B F=A C \cdot B E \\
=(b-r)(a-r) \\
=\frac{b+c-a}{2} \cdot \frac{a+c-b}{2} \\
=\frac{1}{4}\left[c^{2}-(a-b)^{2}\right] \\
=\frac{1}{2} a b=6 .
\end{array}
