Correct Answer: $\sqrt 3$


Solution : For an equilateral triangle, the radius of the incircle is given by:
$r=\frac{a}{2\sqrt3}$, where $a$ is the side of the equilateral triangle
Side of an equilateral triangle = 6 cm
$\therefore$ The radius of the incircle, $r=\frac{a}{2\sqrt3}$
Putting the values, we get:
$r=\frac{6}{2\sqrt3} = \sqrt3$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt3$.
