(((2a)/( (√3))))^2 +{(√((a+b)^2 −(((2a)/( (√3))))^2 ))−(R−b)}^2 =(R−a)^2    can we find b, given R and a?
$$\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}{a}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left\{\sqrt{\left({a}+{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}{a}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }−\left({R}−{b}\right)\right\}^{\mathrm{2}} =\left({R}−{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \: \\ $$$${can}\:{we}\:{find}\:{b},\:{given}\:{R}\:{and}\:{a}? \\ $$

i think yes.  basically it is like following eq.  (√(x^2 −p^2 ))+x=q
