  1. The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is 14√3 cm. The area of the incircle (in cm²), is
    1. 450
    2. 308
    3. 154
    4. 77
Correct Option: C


BD = DC = 7√3 cm
AD = √AB² - BD²
= √(14√3)² - (7√3
= √(14√3 + 7√3)(14√3 - 7√3)
= √21√3 × 7√3 = 21 cm

∴ OD = Radius of circle =
1
× 21 = 7cm
3

∴ Area of circle = πr&sub2;
=
22
× 7 × 7 = 154 sq. cm.
