Correct Answer: $3\sqrt{3}$ cm


Solution : In an equilateral triangle, the radius of the circumscribed circle (circumradius) can be found using the following formula:
Radius (R) = $\frac{a}{\sqrt3}$, where $a$ is the sides of the triangle.
= $\frac{9}{\sqrt 3}$
= $3\sqrt3$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is $3\sqrt3$ cm.
