When a circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle, the radius(r) of the inscribed circle is
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "r = s * square root(3) / 6, where s is the length of a side of the equilateral triangle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "circumference(C) = 2 * pi * r
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3 = 2 * pi * r
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "r = 3 / (pi * 2)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(3 / (pi * 2)) = s * square root(3) / 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(18 / (pi * 2)) = s * square root(3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
