Correct Answer: $\frac{44}{3}$ cm
Solution :
The radius of the circle ($r$) = 7 cm
Let 'a' be the side of an equilateral triangle.
The circumference of a circle is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle.
$2 \pi r$ = 3a
⇒ a = $\frac{2 \pi r}{3}$
= $\frac{2 × 22 × 7}{7 × 3}$
= $\frac{44}{3}$ cm
The side of the equilateral triangle is $\frac{44}{3}$ cm.
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{44}{3}$ cm.
