A square with maximum possible length of the side is inscribed in an equilateral triangle and a circle of maximum possible radius is inscribed in the square. Find the ratio of the length of equilateral of the equilateral triangle to the radius of circle.

Let the side of = a
CD = a/2
Let EC = x
In GEC
GE/EC = tan60 =
GE = x
DE = a/2 – x = FG = HF
GE = HG
x = a – 2x
x =
GE = x =

r = side of square ÷ 2
r=
ratio = a/r
