Answer:
236 cm²
Explanation:
Height of an equilateral triangle (h) = √3 /2 (l)
l = side of the equilateral triangle.
h = √3 /2 (15)
In an equilateral triangle the orthocenter, centroid, circumcenter and incenter are in the same spot
The center of the circle is the centroid and height match with the median. The radius of the circumcircle is equal to two thirds the height.
Formula for the Radius of the circumcircle = 2/3 h
= 2/3 x √3 /2 (15)
= 5 √3 cm (=radius)
Area of the circle = πr^
= 3.14 x( 5 √3 ) ^
=3.14 x(25*3)
=3.14 x 75
=235.5
=236 cm²
