Question from BIMAL, a parent:

what is the diameter of a circle drawn around a equilateral triangle of size 6 cm

Hi,

In my diagram $D$ is the center of the circle.

triangle

If the circle passes through the three vertices $A, B$ and $C$ then the lengths $|AD|, |BD|$ and $|CD|$ are equal. What is the measure of the angle $BCD?$

$DE$ is an extension of $AD.$ What is the length of $EC?$ What is the length of $CD?$
