Question Number 145370 by imjagoll last updated on 04/Jul/21

There are two circles , C of radius 1 and C_r    of radius r which intersect on a plain   At each of the two intersecting  points on the circumferences of  C and C_r  ,the tangent to C and  that to C_r  form an angle 120° outside  of C and C_r . Fill in the blanks   with the answers to the following  questions   (1) Express the distance d between  the centers of C and C_r  in terms  of r   (2) Calculate the value of r at   which d in (1) attains the minimum  (3) in case(2) express the area  of the intersection of C and C_r   in terms of the constant π
