If a circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle of side a, then the area of any square (in sq. units) inscribed in this circle is
Options
- A2 a^2 3
- B3 a^2 2
- Ca^2 2 3
- Da^2 6
Correct answer
D. a^2 6
Step-by-step solution
Area of A B C( )= 3 4 a^2 , Semi-perimeter of A B C(s)= 3 a 2 Radius (r) = s = a 2 3 Diagonal of square PQRS =2 a 2 3 = a 3 Area of square = ( diagonal )^2 2 = a^2 6
