What is the area of the smaller of the two concentric circles if the side length of the equilateral triangle is 8cm?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let radius of greater circle be \"R\", radius of smaller circle be \"r\", the height of the equilateral triangle\"h\", and the side of the equilateral triangle\"a\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "from the given image you can see that radius of greater circle is equal to height \"R=h\" of the equilateral triangle, and \"r=R%2F2=h%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "if the side \"a=8cm\", then\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"h=sqrt%28a%5E2-%28a%2F2%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h=sqrt%288%5E2-%288%2F2%29%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h=sqrt%2864-16%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h=sqrt%2848%29cm\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the area of the smaller of the two concentric circle is \"r=h%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r=sqrt%2848%29%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the area of the smaller circle is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=r%5E2%2Api\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%28sqrt%2848%29%2F2%29%5E2%2Api\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%2848%2F4%29%2Api\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=12%2Api%2Acm%5E2\"\r
