A closed cylinder is made out of paper whose base has a circumference of meters and an equilateral triangle is painted on the interior side of the base. A drop of paint is dropped into the tank, which has an equal probability of landing on any particular point on the base. If the probability of the drop of paint landing on the portion of the base outside the triangle is 3/4, what is the length of the side of the triangle?
Options:
A . 2√6
B . 6√6/2
C . √6
D . √3
E . 2
