+1450 Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle and O is the center of its inscribed circle. If the area of the circle is 4pi sq cm, what is the area, in square centimeters, of triangle ABC? Express your answer in simplest radical form.
Thanks again!
+36916 Note: Units should be cm^2 (got cut off in scan)
(if you need EXACT values use tan30 = 1/sqrt3 tan60=sqrt3 )
+1450 Thanks so much Pavlov! Just to confirm, the total area is 20.78, right? Or is 1/sqrt3 more accurate...
+36916 Area = 20.78 cm^2
If you need an answer with radicals in it (an EXACT solution) , you will need to use
tan30 = 1/sqrt3 and tan60 = sqrt(3) in the calculations to get the final answer
+1450 Thank you, sorry I'm super ignorant here but, what would that calculation look like?
