The correct answer is 2843. Since the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides, and the given triangle is equilateral, the length of each side is 8523, or 284, centimeters (cm). Right triangle AMO can be formed, where M is the midpoint of one of the triangle’s sides, A is one of this side’s endpoints, and O is the center of the circle. It follows that AM is 2842 , or 142, cm. Additionally, triangle AMO has angles measuring 30°, 60°, and 90°, where the measure of angle OMA is 90° and the measure of angle OAM is 30°. It follows that the length of side MO is half the length of hypotenuse AO, and the length of side AM is √3 times the length of side MO. It’s given that AO = w√3 cm. Therefore, MO = w√32 cm and AM = w√3√32cm, which is equivalent to AM = 3w2 cm. Since AM = 142 cm, it follows that 3w2 = 142. Multiplying both sides of this equation by 2 yields 3w = 284. Dividing both sides of this equation by 3 yields w= 2843. Note that 284/3, 94.66, and 94.67 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.
