The side of an equilateral triangle is 12 cm. What is the radius of the circle circumscribing this equilateral triangle? |
$6\sqrt{3}$cm $4\sqrt{3}$cm $9\sqrt{3}$cm $5\sqrt{3}$cm |
$4\sqrt{3}$cm |
We know that, The radius of a circle circumscribing an equilateral triangle = \(\frac{side}{\sqrt {3}}\) We have, The side of an equilateral triangle = 12 cm. According to the question, Radius of the circle = \(\frac{12}{\sqrt {3}}\) = \(\frac{(4 × 3)}{\sqrt {3}}\) = 4\(\sqrt {3}\) |
