∠BAC = 60°

∠BOC = 120°

The angle made by any arc of a circle on the alternate arc is half the angle made at the centre.

OB = OC (Raduis)

\(\angle BAC=\frac{1}{2}\times120=60^\circ\)

\(\angle BOC=180-(60+90)=30^\circ\)

The sides of the right angle triangle ΔCOD with angles 30°, 60°, 90° are proportional to the number 1 : √3: 2 .

BC = 3 cm

∴ DC = 1.5 cm.

OD = \(\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{3}}\) cm

Radius of circle = √3 cm
