Q4. An equilateral triangle of side 9 cm is inscribed in Circle. Find the radius of the circle?
Answers
Answer:
3√3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider △ ABC as an equilateral triangle with side 9 cm
Take AD as one of its medians
We know that
AD ⊥ BC
It can be written as
BD = ½ × BC
By substituting the values
BD = ½ × 9
So we get
BD = 4.5 cm
Consider △ ADB
Using the Pythagoras theorem
AB^2 = AD^2 + BD^2
Substituting the values
9^2 = AD^2 + (9/2)^2
On further calculation
AD^2 = 9^2 – (9/2)^2
So we get
AD^2 = 81 – 81/4
By taking out the square root
AD = 9√3/ 2 cm
We know that the centroid and circumcenter coincide in an equilateral triangle
AG: GD = 2: 1
The radius can be written as
AG = 2/3 AD
By substituting the values
AG = (2/3) × (9√3/ 2)
So we get
AG = 3√3 cm
Therefore, the radius of the circle is 3√3 cm.
