Question 11:
The Town Council plans to build an equilateral triangle platform in the middle of a roundabout. The diameter of circle RST is 24 m and the perpendicular distance from R to the line ST is 18 m. as shown in Diagram below.
Find the perimeter of the platform.
Solution:
Given diameter = 24 m
hence radius = 12 m
O is the centre of the circle.
Using Pythagoras’ theorem:
