Correct Answer: $30 \mathrm{~cm}$


Solution : In an equilateral triangle, the inradius (r) is related to the side length ($a$) by,
$ a = 2\sqrt{3}r $
Given that the inradius, $r=5\sqrt{3}$ cm,
$⇒a = 2\sqrt{3} \times 5\sqrt{3} = 2 \times 15 = 30 \text{ cm} $
Hence, the correct answer is $30 \mathrm{~cm}$.
