Question:

Side of an equilateral triangle is 12 cm. What will be the radius of incircle of this equilateral triangle ?

Options:

3 cm 

$4\sqrt{3}$ cm

4 cm 

$2\sqrt{3}$ cm 

Correct Answer:

$2\sqrt{3}$ cm 

Explanation:

Side = 12

Inradius of the equilateral triangle = \(\frac{a}{2\sqrt{3}}\)

                                                 = \(\frac{12}{2\sqrt{3}}\) = $2\sqrt{3}$ cm
