Recall that a circle's radius can be found with the circumference using the formula 2πr=18π.

 

Solving for r, we find the circle's radius is 9. 

 

Now, remember that a triangle's circumradius is defined by the formula abc4×Area

 

However, we have an equilateral triangle, so we have: s34×34s2=9.

 

This equation simplifies to s3=9, meaning the side length of the triangle is 93

 

Now, using the formula for the area of an equilateral triangle, we have: (93)2×34=24334
