Answer:
20 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a cm be the length of the side of equilateral triangle.
Use formula for the radius of inscribed circle into the equailteral triangle:
[tex]r_{inscribed}=\dfrac{a\sqrt{3}}{6}[/tex]
Hence,
[tex]\dfrac{a\sqrt{3}}{6}=10\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{60}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]
Now, use formula for the circumscribed circle's radius:
[tex]R_{circumscribed}=\dfrac{a\sqrt{3}}{3}[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]R_{circumscribed}=\dfrac{\frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot \sqrt{3}}{3}=20\ cm[/tex]
Answer:
20 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the picture.
The formula of a radius of a circle circumscribed around an equaliteral triangle:
[tex]R=\dfrac{2}{3}\cdot\dfrac{a\sqrt3}{2}[/tex]
The formula od a radius of a circle inscribed into an equaliteral triangle:
[tex]r=\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot\dfrac{a\sqrt3}{2}[/tex]
As you can see in the formulas above, the radius of the circumscribed circle is twice the radius of the inscribed circle.
Therefore
[tex]R=2r[/tex]
Given:
[tex]r=10\ cm[/tex]
therefore
[tex]R=2(10\ cm)=20\ cm[/tex]
