The circumcentre of an equilateral triangle is at a distance of 3.2 cm from the base of the triangle. What is the length (in cm) of each of its altitudes? |
9.6 7.2 6.4 12.8 |
9.6 |
We know that, The ratio of the Circumradius and inradius = 2 : 1 and the height = Circumradius + inradius = 2x + 1x = 3x Circumradius = 3.2 cm Inradius = 3.2 Then the height = 3.2 × 3 = 9.6 cm |
