Undergrad Three Circle Problem
Graphing gives a visual answer but doesn't really prove anything. Let AO be area of the circles = pi x r^2 Let AT be area of the equilateral triangle = (r^2 x sqrt(3))/4 Let AS be area of the segments, to be calculated Is AT + 3AS > = or < AO/4? AO/4 = (3.1416 / 4) x r^2 = 0.78 r^2 - this is...- Bob from Lisbon
