$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Length of eaeh side}} = 20\,{\text{cm }} \cr & {\text{Cireumradius}} = OC = \frac{a}{{\sqrt 3 }} = \frac{{20}}{{\sqrt 3 }} \cr & {\text{Slant edge}} = DC = 30{\text{ cm}} \cr & {\text{In }}\Delta ODC \cr & D{C^2} = O{D^2} + O{C^2} \cr & {30^2} = O{D^2} + {\left( {\frac{{20}}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right)^2} \cr & O{D^2} = 900 - \frac{{400}}{3} \cr & OD = \sqrt {\frac{{2300}}{3}} \cr & OD = 10\sqrt {\frac{{23}}{3}} \cr} $$
