Find the area of the red circle and win $1

Find an equation for the area of the little red circle and you will win yourself one huge whopping dollar! The 3 big circles are all the same size and they are touching which obviously makes the triangle an equilateral triangle with each side equaling 2r.

Any helpful advice will earn you a genuine compliment courtesy of me!

ok i used a diff link. that should work.

p.s. This offer ends at 4:00pm tomorrow :)

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

That picture is shitty. Where does the red circle intersect the big circles? Where the big circles intersect? Do the big circles overlap (and touch in two points each) or simply touch in one point?

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

the actual point which it intersects are irrelevant. I'm guessing what he needs is a general equation to encompass any size circles to find the area between, regaurdless of size.

the answer is 3.

pie are squared, what do I win?

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

No, asshole, pie are round. Haven't you ever seen a pie before?

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

Damn, that was my guess.

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

Yea, EVERYONE knows pie are round.

I have no idea on what to type into Googles to search for this

Holy sh*t! Good thing I'm done with school...

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

Holy shit...the stuff you guys do in the middle of the night.

I really loved geometry when I was in high school but that was 20 years ago for me.

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

wow asshanson, did you type that up or did you google somthing?

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

He probably typed it up, he's a genius, just doesn't know how to drive...

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

Oh, and by the way, I came up with the equation for the area of the circle first, just like the OP asked, so I get the dollar, sorry Andrew!

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

lmao. that's funny.

I would have answered, but I just wanted to give everyone else a chance first! :banana:

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

lolol @ andrew doing math at 3am. hahaha

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

Wow am I glad a Criminal Justice degree requires almost no math, this shit makes my brain itch.

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

Yeah all you need to know for that is Skin Tones 101. HA HA HA.

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

:lol:

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

I did all that by myself last night, didn't use google at all. I made those pictures in MS Paint too. It's just trig, but it was sort of a challenge after drinking.

Haha... thanks?

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

I fail at math :( seeing that geometry graphic of him showing his work made me cringe.

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

You sir, made me laugh.

You sir, win yourself a dollar :) I did in fact solve this with my roommate a different way, but I forgot to post up my solution first. What's your paypal so I can send you a huge whopping dollar? lol

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

Don't worry about it, I hate dealing with paypal. Especially since you figured it out anyway... what approach did you use?

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

Do they take 3% out of that?

Re: Find the area of the red circle and win $1
 

haha sounds good. I'll buy ya a beer sometime I ever go to a meet sometime haha.

First I made a trapezoid with the long side equal to 2R, and the two sides equal to R. Then I created a 30/60/90 triangle and solved for the short side of the trapezoid. Then I found an equation to find the radius of a circle with a triangle inside in. Kinda hard to explain, but eventually my buddy showed me the way you did it and that's much quicker and simpler. Props on being smart even when you're drunk lol.
