Three non-concentric circles of equal radii are drawn such that each circle touches the other two externally. The centres are joined to form a triangle whose area is 17320.5 cm^2. Find the area of the triangle not included in the circles.

5236.6 sq cm. If the radius of each circle is a, the equilateral triangle has base 2a and height 1.73205 a giving the area equal to 1.732.5 a*a and equating this to 17320.5 gives a=100 cm. Since the angles of the triangle are 60 degrees, in each case the area of the triangle not included in the circle is 1/6th the area of the circle of 360 degrees. Each case this comes to one sixth of 3.142*100^2 that is 5236.6 sq cm

Three congruent circles are pairwise tangent and each has a radius equal to 2. A circle circumscribes..............

Three congruent circles are pairwise tangent and each has a radius equal to 2. A circle circumscribes the three circles. Calculate the total area shaded in blue. The blue region is comprised of two parts. One region is the three circular sectors of the small circles enclosed by the line segments connecting the three small circle’s centers. The other region is outside the three small circles and bound by the large circumscribing circle (exclude the area in between the three small circles).
