Question Image

Given ΔABC is an equilateral triangle

AB=BC=CA

Let BD is the median

Centroid divides the median ratio is 2:1

So BF=FO=OD

From square DEFG;FD=2r

EF=2.r

Area of the square (S)=2.r×2.r

S=2r2(1)

From the fig. OP=r,BO=2r

ΔBPOBO2=OP2+BP2(2r)2=r2+BP23r2=BP2BP=3.r

From the fig BP=CP=CD=DA=AQ=QB(tangents)

So BC=23.r

Area of the equilateral triangle  =34.a2

=34(23)2=34.4.3.r2T=33.r2(2)Then  TS=33r22r2TS=332
