To find the side length of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle of radius 6 cm, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry An equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle means that all its vertices touch the circle. Let’s denote the vertices of the triangle as A, B, and C, and the center of the circle as O. Since the triangle is equilateral, all sides are equal. ### Step 2: Draw the Radius Since the radius of the circle is 6 cm, we have: - OA = OB = OC = 6 cm (where O is the center of the circle and A, B, C are the vertices of the triangle). ...
