A triangular prism 2007-03-26
From Tom:
Hi, I need to find a container in the shape of a triangular prism that will fit four table tennis balls (this is for a math project!). These balls have a diameter of 4cm, so a radius of 2. I know that the formula for finding an incircle from a triangle is:
radius of incircle = 2area of triangle / perimeter of triangle
But I need to know the length of one side of the triangle from the incircle (the triangle needs to be equalateral). Can you help me find a formula for this? Thanks so much! Tom
