Area of equilateral triangle =
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2
Semi perimeter of equilateral triangle = (a + a + a) / 2
Radius of inscribed circle r = Area of equilateral triangle / Semi perimeter of equilateral triangle. =
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2 / {\frac{3a}{2}}
=
\frac{a}{2{\sqrt3}}
Area of circle = PI*(r*r) =
\frac{\pi a^{2}}{12}
