    4/r

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The side lengths s of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle of radius r will be ...

    s = r√3

    The perimeter of the triangle will be 3s.

    The area of the triangle will be s^2· (√3) / 4.

    Then the ratio P/A is ...

    P/A = (3s) / (s^2· (√3) / 4) = (4√3) / s

    Substituting the above expression for s, we have ...

    P/A = 4√3 / (r√3)

    P/A = 4/r
