Find the circumradius if 2 is the side of the triangle with the opposite angle π3\frac{\pi}{3}.

Answer

To find the circumradius of a triangle, we can use the formula:
R = a2sin(A)\frac{a}{2sin(A)}
Where R is the circumradius, a is the length of a side of the triangle, and A is the opposite angle.
In this case, we have the side length a = 2 and the opposite angle A = π3\frac{\pi}{3}. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
R = 22sin(π3)\frac{2}{2sin(\frac{\pi}{3})}
Now, we can simplify the expression:
R = 2(2×32)\frac{2}{(2\times\frac{\sqrt{}3}{2})}
R =2(3)\frac{2}{(\sqrt3)}
R = 233\frac{2\sqrt3}{3}
Therefore, the circumradius of the triangle is 233\frac{2\sqrt3}{3}.
