An equilateral triangle with side length is positioned with one vertex on the center of a circle with radius . Find the quotient that causes the area inside the triangle but outside the circle to be the same as the area of the circle. Round your answer to two decimal places.

\[\begin{align} \bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{{4}}\cdot s^2 \bigg) - \bigg(\dfrac{1}{6} \pi r^2\bigg) &= \pi r^2 \\ \\ \bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{{4}}\cdot s^2 \bigg) &= \bigg(\dfrac{7}{6} \pi r^2\bigg) \\ \\ \dfrac{s^2}{r^2} &= \bigg(\dfrac{7}{6} \pi \dfrac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\bigg) \\ \\ \dfrac{s}{r} &= \sqrt{\bigg(\dfrac{7}{6} \pi \dfrac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\bigg)} \\ \\ \dfrac{s}{r} &\approx \boxed{2.91}
\end{align}\]
