  • question_answer
      An equilateral triangle has a circle inscribed in it and is circumscribed by a circle. There is another equilateral triangle inscribed in the inner circle. What is the ratio of the areas of the outer circle and the inner equilateral triangle?

    A)  \[\frac{16\pi }{3\sqrt{3}}\]

    B)  \[\frac{8\pi }{2\sqrt{3}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{24\pi }{3\sqrt{3}}\]                    

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a): (i) Circum radius\[=\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}\]and in ? radius\[=\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}\] Where ?a? is the side of the outer equilateral triangle. (ii) For an equilateral triangle of side a. if an in-circle and circum circle are drawn whose radii are r and R then \[r=\frac{a}{2\sqrt{3}}\] and \[R=\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}\]
