Given the length of sides of an equilateral triangle. We need to write a program to find the area of Circumcircle of the given equilateral triangle.
Examples: 
 

Input : side = 6
Output : Area of circumscribed circle is: 37.69

Input : side = 9
Output : Area of circumscribed circle is: 84.82 

 

All three sides of equilateral triangle are of equal length and all three interior angles are 60 degrees.
Properties of a Circumcircle are as follows: 
 

  • The center of the circumcircle is the point where the medians of the equilateral triangle intersect.
  • Circumscribed circle of an equilateral triangle is made through the three vertices of an equilateral triangle.
  • The radius of a circumcircle of an equilateral triangle is equal to (a / ?3), where ‘a’ is the length of the side of equilateral triangle.

Below image shows an equilateral triangle with circumcircle: 
 

The formula used to calculate the area of circumscribed circle is: 
 

(?*a2)/3

where a is the length of the side of the given equilateral triangle.
 

How this formulae works?

We know that area of circle = ?*r2, where r is the radius of given circle.
We also know that radius of Circumcircle of an equilateral triangle = (side of the equilateral triangle)/ ?3.
Therefore, area = ?*r2 = ?*a2/3.
 

C++




// C++ program to find the area of Circumscribed 
// circle of equilateral triangle
#include <iostream>

const double pi = 3.14159265358979323846;

// of equilateral triangle
float area_circumscribed(float a)
{
    return (a * a * (pi / 3));
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
    float a, Area;
    a = 6;
  
    // function calling
    Area = area_circumscribed(a);
    // displaying the area
    cout << "Area of CircumCircle :" << Area;
    return 0;

// circle of equilateral triangle
  
let pi = 3.14159265358979323846;
  
  
// function to calculate the area of circumcircle
// of equilateral triangle
function area_circumscribed( a)
{
    return (a * a * (pi / 3));
}
// Driver code
  
    let a, Area;
    a = 6;
  
    // function calling
    Area = area_circumscribed(a);
    // displaying the area
   document.write("Area of CircumCircle :" + Area.toFixed(7));
  
// This code is contributed by todaysgaurav
  
</script>


Output: 

Area of circumscribed circle is :37.6991118

 

Time Complexity: O(1)
Auxiliary Space: O(1), since no extra space has been taken.
