Question

The area of a circle inscribed in a equilateral triangle is 154 `cm^2` . Find the perimeter of the triangle  .


Options:
A .  71.5 cm
B .  71.7 cm
C .  72.3 cm
D .  72.7 cm
Answer: Option D

Radius of incircle = `(a)/(2sqrt(3))`.

Area of incircle = `((pi xx a^2)/(12)) cm^2`

`:.`     ` (pi a^2)/(12) = 154`

`hArr    a^2 = (154 xx 12 xx 7)/(33)`

`hArr      a = 14sqrt(3)`

`:.`       Perimeter of the triangle = `(3 xx 14sqrt(3)` cm

                                                   = (42 x 1.732) cm =  72.7 cm( approx).
