  27√3 in² ≈ 46.765 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can go at this. One is to recognize that the triangle formed by two vertices and the circle center is an isosceles triangle with apex angle 120°. Its area will be

  A = (1/2)·r²·sin(120°) = (1/2)·(6 in)²·(√3)/2 = 9√3 in²

The total area of the inscribed triangle is the area of 3 of these, so is ...

  A = 3·9√3 in² = 27√3 in²

Alternate solution

If we call the center of the circle point O, and the vertices of the inscribed equilateral triangle A, B, and C, we can define point X on segment AB such that OX⊥AB.

Triangle AOX is a 30°-60°-90° triangle, so has sides in the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. That is, AO is twice the length of OX, and AX is √3 times the length OX.

This makes OX = 3, AX = XB = 3√3, and XC = OX+OC = 3+6 = 9.

Now we have the dimensions of triangle ABC: the base AB is 6√3, and the height (XC) is 9. The area can be found in the usual way:

  A = 1/2·bh = 1/2·(6√3 in)·(9 in) = 27√3 in²

i believe the answer is 68cm

step-by-step explanation:

i just took 34 x 2 because the space between v and y is the same as y to k.
