Correct Answer: $21 \mathrm{~cm}$


Solution : Circumradius = 14 cm
$a$ = side of equilateral triangle
Circum-radius, r = $\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}$
⇒ $a = 14\sqrt{3}$ cm
Now, Length of median = Height of equilateral triangle $ = \frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2}= \frac{(\sqrt{3} × 14\sqrt{3})}{2}$ = 21 cm
Hence, the correct answer is $21 \mathrm{~cm}$.
