In the given figure, AB is an equilateral triangle. Two circle of radius 6 cm and 18 cm are inscribed in the triangle. What is the side of an equilateral triangle (in cm)? |
32\(\sqrt {3}\) 24\(\sqrt {3}\) 48\(\sqrt {3}\) 36\(\sqrt {3}\) |
36\(\sqrt {3}\) |
Big circle touches all the side of triangle, it means it is in-circle of equilateral triangle. So, inradius of equilateral triangle = \(\frac{a}{2\sqrt {3}}\) ⇒ \(\frac{a}{2\sqrt {3}}\) = 18 ⇒ a = \({36\sqrt {3}}\) |
