ABC is an equilateral △, h is the altitude of △ABC
0 is the incenter of △ABC, and this is the point of intersection of the angular bisectors. Hence, these bisectors are also the altitude and medians whose point of intersection divides the medians in the ratio 2:1
∴∠ADB=90° & OD=

hey mate here is your answer
hope it helps you
ANSWER ❤️
Area of the circle = 154 sq cm
⇒r = 7 cm
Let the side of the triangle = a cm
But the radius of the incircle, r = \frac{\Delta}{s}r=sΔ
Where Δ = Area of the triangle and s = semi-perimeter
Perimeter of triangle = 42(1.73) = 72.66 cm
