Question:

In an equilateral triangle STU, inradius is $5\sqrt{3} cm$. What is the length of side this equilateral triangle ?

Options:

$20\sqrt{3}cm$

$18\sqrt{3}cm$

30 cm

24 cm

Correct Answer:

30 cm

Explanation:

We know that,

The inradius of the equilateral triangle = \(\frac{side}{2\sqrt {3}}\)

 $5\sqrt{3}$ = \(\frac{side}{2\sqrt {3}}\)

side =  $5\sqrt{3}$ × $2\sqrt {3}$ = 30 cm
