Question 929594: A diagram shows the design of an earring
The earring consists of a circle inside an equilateral triangle
The sides of the triangle are tangents to the circle
The radius of the circle is 8mm
The distance from the centre of the circle to each vertex of the triangle is 17mm
Calculate the perimeter of the triangle
