given: AC=AB=BC= 9 cm

to find: the radius.

construction: draw AD being the perpendicular bisector of side BC.

proof: we know that that 
∠ADC would be equal to 90° by construction.

And BD = DC

Now,

∠B = 60° { given }
∠OBD = 30° { half of 60° as BO bisects ∠B }

in triangle OBD
cos 30° =  \frac{base}{hypotenuse}
√3 / 2 =   \frac{4.5}{hypotenuse}
H = 3√3 cm.
