Question

    ABC is an equilateral triangle with sides of 42cm. Find

    the difference between its in-radius and circum-radius.
    A 7√3cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10√3cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12√3cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9√3cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In-radius of an equilateral triangle = a√3/6 units where a = side of the equilateral triangle Therefore, the in-radius of the given equilateral triangle = (42√3/6) = 7√3 cm Circum-radius of the given equilateral triangle = 2 × 7√3= 14√3 cm required difference= 14√3cm - 7√3cm= 7√3cm
