As we can see the left bottom corner of the triangle becomes a 30º-60º-90º triangle where the hypotenuse of the triangle is same as Radius i.e. 4

i.e. Half of the side of the equilateral triangle is the side opposite to 60º in 30º-60º-90º triangle

hence Half of the side of equilateral triangle = 2√3

i.e. Side of the Equilateral triangle = 4√3

ie. Perimeter of the triangle = 3*4√3 = 12√3

ANswer: option D
