✤ How to solve?
We should know how to find the area of a circle when the radius is given to us. The formula for this:
- Area of the circle = πr²
And, Finding the area of the equilateral triangle:
- Area of the equilateral triangle = √3/4(side)²
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✤ Solution:
We have,
- Area of the circle = 4 cm²
That means,
➝ πr² = 4 cm²
➝ 22/7 r² = 4 cm²
➝ r² = 4 × 7/22 cm²
➝ r² = 14/11 cm²
➝ r = √14/11 cm
๑ Refer to the attachment...
The radius of the inscribed circle is r that is OD = √14/11 cm and Here O is the incentre of the equilateral triangle. We know that, Incentre is also the centroid of an equilateral triangle, So AD is the median.
- The centroid divides the median in 2:1 ratio. So, if OD = r, then AD = 2r + r = 3r
Finding length of AD,
➝ AD = 3r
➝ AD = 3√14/11 cm
Each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°. So, If we will concentrate only on one of the smaller triangle like ABD, then we can find the length of AB(side) by using trigonometry.
Finding length of AB(side),
➝ Sin 60° = p/h
➝ Sin 60° = AD/AB
➝ √3 / 2 = 3√14/11 / AB
➝ AB = 2√42 / 11 cm
Now, finding the area of triangle,
➝ Area of the equi. △ = √3/4 × (side)²
➝ Area of the equi. △ = √3/4 × (2√42 / 11)²
➝ Area of the equi. △ = 42√3/121 cm²
❒ So, Final answer is:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the circle = πr²
Area of the circle = 4 cm²
πr² = 4 cm²
22/7 r² = 4 cm²
r² = 4 × 7/22 cm²
r² = 14/11 cm²
r = √14/11 cm
Finding length of AD,
AD = 3r
AD = 3√14/11 cm
Finding length of AB(side),
Sin 60° = p/h
Sin 60° = AD/AB
√3 / 2 = 3√14/11 / AB
AB = 2√42 / 11 cm
Area of the equi. △ = √3/4 × (side)²
Area of the equi. △ = √3/4 × (2√42 / 11)²
Area of the equi. △ = 42√3/121 cm²
