# 10.2.3 Circles I, PT3 Focus Practice

            
Question 11:
  
The Town Council plans to build an equilateral triangle platform in the middle of a roundabout. The diameter of circle RST is 24 m and the perpendicular distance from R to the line ST is 18 m. as shown in Diagram below.
  Find the perimeter of the platform.
  
  Solution:
  

  Given diameter = 24 m
  hence radius = 12 m
  O is the centre of the circle.
  Using Pythagoras’ theorem:
