Given:

The side of an equilateral triangle is 12 cm.

Concept used:

The radius of a circle circumscribing an equilateral triangle = side/√3

Calculation:

According to the concept,

Radius of the circle = 12/√3

⇒ (4 × 3)/√3

∵ 3 = √3 × √3 = (√3)2

⇒ 4 ×(√3)2/√3

⇒ 4√3

∴ The radius of the circle circumscribing this equilateral triangle is 4√3 cm.
