I think there is a property that the radius of a circle, inscribed in an equilateral triangle is equal to height/3
So height of eq triangle = root3*10/2 = 5root3
radius of the circle = 5root3/3
area of circle = pi*(5root3/3)^2 = 25pi/3
circle is inscribed in an

Radius of circle inscribed in any triangle
= area of triangle/ semi perimeter of triangle
Radius of circle inscribed in an equilateral triangle
= a/ (2 * rt 3) where a- side of triangle
Radius of circle circumscribed in any triangle
= (a*b*c) / (4 *area of triangle) where a,b,c -3 sides of triangle

Inscribed circle radius = a x root(3)/6; a = side of equilatral triangle.
So area of circle = pi x {10 x root(3) / 6}^2 = 25 pi / 3.
So area of circle = pi x {10 x root(3) / 6}^2 = 25 pi / 3.
