Question

an Equaliterial ABC is increased in a circle and another circle is increased in the triangle ABC.If thr area of the inner circle is 20 π , then what is the area of the outer circle?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here, AB=BC=AC=12cm

⇒ Let OP=OR=OQ=r

⇒ We have O as the incenter and OP,OQ and OR are equal.

⇒ ar(△ABC)=ar(△OAB)+ar(△OBC)+ar(△OCA)
