easy!  in an equilateral triangle the center divides  the height 2:1 ⇒ R=2c=2(√3)  (the line with length 1 is (1/6) of the side of the  triangle)

radius is c+x.  x^3 −x=2c.  The triangles cannot  be equilateral for other values  except a certain one, Sir.

ok. the picture looked to me as if it was a  regular hexagon...
