Given:

The circumradius of an equilateral triangle is 5√3 cm

Formula used:

Circum radius of equilateral triangle = a/√3

In-radius of equilateral triangle = a/2√3

Where a is the side of the equilateral triangle

Calculation:

The circumradius of the equilateral triangle is 5√3 cm

∴ 5√3 = a/√3

⇒ a = 15 cm

Now, In radius of equilateral triangle = a/2√3 = 15/2√3 = 5√3/2 cm

Smart Trick

We know,

Circumradius/In-radius = 2/1

∴ In-radius = Circumradius/2 = 5√3/2
