- The radius of the outer circle, the circumcircle of the equilateral triangle, is 7.
So, the circum radius of the equilateral triangle is 7. So, the altitude of the equilateral triangle is 3*7/2= 21/2.
The area of the equilateral triangle can be written as (root 3)/4 S^2 or it can be written as (altitude)^2/(root 3) . So, the area of the equilateral triangle is 441/4(root 3)= 63.65
The innere circle is the incircle of the equilateral triangle, so its radius, the inradius, is half of the circum radius, that is 7.
So, radius =3.5 Area =22/7 *3.5 *3.5=38.5
Share of the middle brother = 63.65-38.5=25.15
