The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is equal to the circumference of a circle. If each side of this equilateral triangle is 88 cm long, then what will be the length of the diameter of the circle mentioned above? [Use $$\pi = \frac{22}{7}$$]
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is equal to the circumference of a circle.
perimeter of an equilateral triangle = circumference of a circle
$$3\times\ length\ of\ each\ side\ of\ equilateral\ triangle\ =\ 2\times\ \pi\ \times\ radius$$
If each side of this equilateral triangle is 88 cm long.
$$3\times88\ =\ 2\times\frac{22}{7}\ \times\ radius$$
$$3\times88\ =\ \frac{44}{7}\ \times\ radius$$$$3\times2\ =\ \frac{1}{7}\ \times\ radius$$
$$6\ =\ \frac{1}{7}\ \times\ radius$$
radius of the circle = 42 cm
length of the diameter of the circle mentioned above = $$2\times radius$$
= $$2\times 42$$
= 84 cm
