Check the picture below.
the radius, so-called because if we circumscribe the triangle in a circle, that'd be the radius of the circumcircle, is 3 inches, as you see there in the picture in red.
now, bear in mind that the triangle is an equilateral one, and therefore, 180/3 = 60, meaning all its interior angles are congruently 60°.
if we run the radius of the triangle, like there, it will cut one of those interior angles in half, namely the radius is an angle bisector, and if we run a perpendicular line to the bottom side, like the dashed one there, we end up with a 30-60-90 triangle, to which we can apply the 30-60-90 rule, as you see it there.
since we know what half of a side of the triangle is, as you see it there in blue, then we can use that and plug it in at
