Correct Answer: 8 cm


Solution : The circumradius $(R)$ and inradius $(r)$ are related by the formula:
$ R = \frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}$ and $ r = \frac{a}{2\sqrt{3}}$
Where $a$ is the side of the triangle
Given: Inradius = 4 cm, we can find the side of the triangle:
$ a = 2\sqrt{3} \times r = 2\sqrt{3} \times 4 = 8\sqrt{3}\ \text{cm}$
Substituting $a$ into the formula for the circumradius, we get:
$ R = \frac{a}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = 8 \ \text{cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is 8 cm.
