An inscribed planar shape or solid is one that is enclosed by and "fits snugly" inside another geometric shape or solid. To say that "square is inscribed in triangle" means precisely the same thing as "triangle is circumscribed about square".
Biggest Square that can be inscribed within an Equilateral triangle −
Biggest Square that can be inscribed within an Equilateral triangle −
Let’s take an example,
Input: 5 Output: 2.32
Explanation
The side of the square be x.
Now, AH is perpendicular to DE.
DE is parallel to BC, angle AED = angle ACB = 60
In triangle EFC,
⇒ Sin60 = x/ EC
⇒ √3 / 2 = x/EC
⇒ EC = 2x/√3
In triangle AHE,
⇒ Cos 60 = x/2AE
⇒ 1/2 = x/2AE
⇒ AE = x
side AC of the triangle = 2x/√3 + x. Now,
a = 2x/√3 + x
x = a/(1 + 2/√3) = 0.464a
Example
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main() {
float a = 5;
float area = 0.464 * a;
printf("The area is : %f",area);
return 0;
}Output
The area is : 2.320000
