When a circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle, the radius of the circle will be $$frac{1}{3}\\$ rd of the height of the triangle. Height of an equilateral triangle$h) = $$frac{√3}{2}\\$ * a$where a is the length of a side of the equilateral triangle)

h = √$$frac{√3}{2}\\$ * 24 = 12 √3. Radius of the Circle$r) = $$frac{1}{3}\\$ * h = 12 $\frac{√3}{3}\\$ = 4 √3. Area of an equilateral triangle$A) = $$frac{√3}{4}\\$ * a2$where a is the length of a side of the equilateral triangle)

A = $$frac{√3}{4}\\$ *$24)2 = √3 * 144.

Area of the Circle (a) = π r2.
(where r is the radius of the circle)

a = π (4 √3)2 = 48 π.

Area of the remaining portion of the triangle= A – a = √3 * 144 - 48 π

Area of the remaining portion of the triangle= 144 √3 - 48 π.

The question is "A circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle of side 24 cm, touching its sides. What is the area of
the remaining portion of the triangle?"

##### Hence, the answer is 144√3 - 48π cm2

Choice A is the correct answer
