Find area of Green shaded circle inscribed in an equilateral triangle with side length 8 | 2 methods

[@ОльгаСоломашенко-ь6ы]

Можно воспользоваться теоремой о биссектрисах треугольника. Делится точкой пересечения в отношении 2:1, считая от вершины. Поделить высоту, которая является биссектрисой на 3. Это и будет радиус вписанной окружности.

[@pwmiles56]

You can also use the fact that the lines between the vertices and the mid-points of the opposite sides divide each other in the ratio 2:1. In this case the line lengths are 4 sqrt(3) so r = 4/sqrt(3)

[@PreMath]

Centroid fact! Thanks for your feedback! Cheers! You are awesome. Keep it up 👍 Love and prayers from the USA! 😀

[@ಗೆಳೆಯ-ಱ7ಹ]

Those lines are called as medians. Centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1.

[@dushyantprajapati7782]

we just can calculate the area of triangle first and then divide this triangle in three part from center and height of each part will be radius and side will base and just using formula area(it will be 1/3 of that) 1/2 * base * height we can get r easily (please reply sir)

[@ybodoN]

The general formula to find the inradius of the incircle in any triangle also works. In this case, it simplifies to _a √3 / 6_ where _a_ is the side of the equilateral triangle. Thus, the formula for the area of the incircle in an equilateral triangle is _π a² / 12._

[@ConorChewy]

I approached this slightly differently. Where you made the triangle AOD, I observed that the total area of the whole triangle is made up of six of these identical triangles; AOD, AFO, BOD, BOE, COF, COE. Each one has an area equal to 0.5×4×r = 2r, and thus the total area of ABC is 12r. So then you can easily find the area of ABC via calculating the height CD, set the two exoressions for the area of ABC as equal to each other, rearrange for r, and then calculate the circle area.

El centro del círculo coincide con el baricentro del triángulo equilátero y dista de la base un tercio de la altura “h” → h=(8√3)/2 =4√3 → Radio r=h/3=(4√3)/3 → Área verde =πr² =π16x3/9 =π16/3 =16.7552 Gracias y un saludo cordial.

Clone triangle ABC, rotate it 180° around O. Now you've got an regular hexagram, with six equilateral triangles surrounding a regular hexagon, all with side length 8/3, and the hexagon has the green circle inscribed. Radius of the circle is equal to the minimal radius of the hexagon, equals 4/sqrt(3) in this case. Formula for area of a circle resulted in 16 * pi / 3

[@phungpham1725]

In an equilateral triangle, the height is also the median, and the bisector of the the 3 corner angles. So r=OB=CD /3=1/3 x 8sqrt3/2=4sqrt3/3 Area of the inscribed circle= pi .( 16x3)/9= 16pi /3 sq units

[@HappyFamilyOnline]

Very well explained👍 Thanks for sharing😊😊

The height of the equilateral triangle is three times the radius. Considering the height AE and the triangle AOD which has angles of 30°, 60° and 90°, therefore the hypotenuse is twice the minor cathetus. But the minor cathetus OD is the radius, so along the height AE we have AO which is twice the radius and OE which is the radius

[@Abby-hi4sf]

Once we found the height h, the radius of the inscribed circle is always ⅓ of the height length . The centroid of an equilateral triangle which are also perpendicular to the bases, and splits the medians into two segments measuring ⅓ of the length ( which is the radious of the circle ) and ⅔ of the length, respectively.

[@saltydog584]

As the triangle is equilateral, the triangle FOA will have the angles 30:60:90. The hypotenuse of such a triangle is 2 times the shortest side. The shortest side is the radius of the circle, so the length OA is 2r. This makes the whole length of the line AOE 3r which is the height of the triangle. Using Pythagoras, the height of the triangle is also the sq root of (8^2 - 4^2) = sq root of (64-16) =the sq root of 48. So the radius is 1 third of the square root of 48. The area is pi * r^2 so the area of the circle is 48/9*pi.

[@hkulachandrasingha7697]

The centre O of the inscribed circle is, also the centroid of the equilateral triangle ABC which divides CB in 2:1. So, OD=1/3 of CB=1/3 of 4√3.

h =4sqrt(3) using pythagoras. h.(h-2r) = 4.4 As per Tangent secant rule h^2-2hr = 16 48-8sqrt(4)r = 16 r = 4/sqrt(3) A = 16pi/3

[@vidyadharjoshi5714]

DE = EF = FD = 4. Extend DO till edge of circle at H via G. GH*HD = 2*2 = 4. GH = 4/sqrt12. So Area = 16.755

[@MarieAnne.]

Equilateral triangle ABC has area = 1/2 × 8 × 8 × cos(60°) = 8√3 Each of triangles AOB, BOC, and AOC have base = 8, height = r, and area = 1/2 × 8 × r = 4r. So area of triangle ABC = 3 × 4r = 12r = 8√3 → r = 4/√3 Area of circle = πr² = 16π/3

[@mahatmapodge]

The solution can be intuited from similar triangles ACD and AOD are similar therefore Tan 30 == AD/CD == OD/AD r = OD = 4/4 * (4sqrt(3))

[@user-ry1cv8ks4h]

You can make a 120 degree sector by drawing lines through the centre to 2 of the midpoints and use cosine rule to find the radius (knowing the line connecting the midpoints has to be 4 because it creates a mini equilateral triangle)

[@EnnioPiovesan]

Triangle FED is also equilateral with side l=4 and is inscribed in the circle, so r=l/√3=4/√3

[@philipkudrna5643]

The radius is 4/sqrt(3). Reason: Half of the side is 4. If we draw a line from a corner to the center of the circle, it bisects the angle at the corner. Together with a perpendicular that bisects the side, we get a right triangle between a triangle-corner, the circle-center and the midpoint of the side, which is a 30-60-90 triangle. In such a triangle the ratio between the sides are: hypothenuse =2, longer side = sqrt(3), shorter side = 1. So in order to get from the longer to the shorter side, you need to divide the longer side (4) by sqrt(3). The radius is the short side and is therefore 4/sqrt(3).

Find area through heron's formula of ABC --(1) Also, area of ABC=r×(8+8+8)/2--(2) Equating (1) &(2) you will get r

[@muttleycrew]

I got the same answer but used a different trig construction. I got: _r_ tan(60) = 4. This solves to r = 4 / tan(60) ~ 2.3094... which also gets the area of the circle being A ~ 16.755... square units.

We directly find the radius of circle in equilateral triangle is=8/(2√3) i.e 4/√3 . Area=16π/3.

[@kennethstevenson976]

I started by finding 2r + X = 4 root 3. Then manipulated (R+X)^2 = R^2 + 4^2 , Getting the R^2 term to drop out, then the X^2 terms to cancel leaving 4 root 3 times X = 16. Then X = 16/ 4root 3. Rationalize the denominator X= ( 4 root 3) / 3. Then you have Height = 4 root 3 which is equal to 2R + X. Substitute and solve you get R = (4 root 3)/3. Using the formula A= Pi X R^2 you get Pi X 48/9 or 16.755 sq. un.

[@williamwingo4740]

Here's a method using only Pythagoras, without trig functions: Draw CD and determine the altitude of the triangle: 8^2 - 4^2 = 64 - 16 = 48; √48 = √((16)(3)) = 4√3: Now consider triangle AOD, or any of the six similar triangles: OD = r, and AO = 4√3 - r. Again invoking Pythagoras: 4^2 + r^2 = (4√3 - r)^2 = 48 - (8√3)(r) + r^2; subtract r^2 from both sides and it drops out: 4^2 = 48 - (8√3)(r); multiply out: 16 = 48 - (8√3)(r); collect terms and rearrange: (8√3)(r) = 32; solve for r: r = 32/(8√3) = 4/√3. Then the area of the circle is π(4/√3)^2 = 16π/3. Just what I needed to get he day off to a good start. Cheers. 🤠

Because that triangle is equilateral triangle so that h=aV3/2 (a=8 is edge of triangle) in equilateral triangle triangle height line also median line h= 8V3/2=4V3 R= 1/3 xh=1/3x4V3=4V3/3 A= R²"3,14=(4V3/3)²x3,14=16/3x4,14=16,74

[@Zina308]

Since O is the centroid then OD= r= 1/3 of CD.

[@manuelattard9983]

I think the solution is much simpler. By drawing the two medians you get tan30=r/4, hence r and area of the circle

By the way we need to remember some some distances of equatorial triangle like height,distance from mid point to a arm and a corner. The distance from mid point to arm is a/2×3½ so we got the radius now put it into circle's area = pie × (8/2×3½)²=16.76

When you know that in an equilateral triangle the inradius is 1/3 the length of an altitude (because each altitude is also a median of the triangle), then the solution of this problem is straight forward.

[@calspace]

If we are expected to have memorized that sin(60) = sqrt(3)/2, why aren't we expected to know that the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle are x-x*sqrt(3)-2x? If you know that, then you know that if you draw a line from O to a corner you're creating a 30-60-90 triangle with long leg of length 4. Then the radius is 4 = x*sqrt(3) or x =4/sqrt(3).
