Answer: A =  (27/4)√3 in²


Explanation:


You are required to calculate the area, A, of an equilateral triangle, when you know its radius is 3 inches.


The radius of an equilateral triangle is the radius of the cirscumscribed circle.


The equilateral triangle has several characteristics which can be geometrically deduced:


  • Three congruent sides (by definition)
  • Three 60° internal angles
  • If you call the length of the sides x, and the radius of the circumscribed circle r, then:

       r = x √3 / 3 ⇒ x = r√3

       Area = [√3 / 4] x²

  • Combining the two previous relations, you deduce:

        Area = [3 √3 / 4] r²

By substituting the given radius, you find the area of the equilateral triangle:

            Area = [3 √3 / 4] x² = [3 √3 / 4] (3 in)² = 27√3 / 4 in²
