Question

The small circles are equal in area and the area of the big circle is 25 cm². If the perimeter of the triangle formed by joining the centres of the circle is 22 cm, what is the area of the triangle (in cm²)?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As reasoned by the other responder, the area of big circle is actually 25pi

So R = 5

Sides of triangle are 2r, r+5, r+5

P of triangle = 22 = 4r+10

r = 3

Sides are 6,8,8 say, a,b,c

By Archimedes theorom

16A^2 = 4(ab)^2 - (c^2 -a^2 -b^2)^2

A^2 = 495

A = 3√55
