Sagot :
The apothem (x) is 11.62 units, the radius of the circle is 12 units, and the area of each segment is 48π − 23.25√3 square units.
What is a circle?
It is a locus of a point drawn equidistant from the center. The distance from the center to the circumference is called the radius of the circle.
An equilateral triangle with side lengths equal to 12√3 units is inscribed in a circle.
And half a side length of the equilateral triangle is 6√3 units.
The apothem (x) is units long and the radius of the circle will be
x² = (9√3)² - (6√3)²
x² = 243 - 108
x² = 135
x = 11.62
And the radius of the circle will be
[tex]\begin{aligned} \cos 30 &= \dfrac{6\sqrt3}{r}\\\\\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}&= \dfrac{6\sqrt3}{r}\\\\r &= 12 \end{aligned}[/tex]
Each segment of the circle has an area that will be
Area = the difference between the areas of the sector and triangle
Area = the areas of the sector - the areas of the triangle
The area of the sector will be
[tex]\rm Sector's \ area= \dfrac{120}{360} \pi *12^2 \\\\Sector's \ area= 48\pi[/tex]
The area of the triangle will be
[tex]\rm Triangle's \ area = \dfrac{1}{2*3} * 11.62 * 12\sqrt3\\\\Triangle's \ area = 23.25\sqrt3[/tex]
Then the area of each segment will be
Segment area = 48π − 23.25√3
