The blue triangle is right angled and isosceles with AF=BF=3. Radius of circle r=2. Find maximum side length of equilateral △DEF.

(1) start with the blue triangle (2) D on line AB (3) construct E ⇒ we have the minimal side s when D=((A+B)/2) ⇒ the maximum depends on the possibility of the circle which exists for ∣AE∣≤4 if D is between A and B and closer to A the maximum is at D=A if we allow D anywhere on the line through A and B it′s harder to calculate...

i think for s_(max) D is at A, s_(max) =3.
$${i}\:{think}\:{for}\:{s}_{{max}} \:\:{D}\:{is}\:{at}\:{A},\:\:{s}_{{max}} =\mathrm{3}. \\ $$

yes. if D is allowed only between A and B. else s_(max) =4
$$\mathrm{yes}.\:\mathrm{if}\:{D}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{allowed}\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{between}\:{A}\:\mathrm{and}\:{B}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{else}\:{s}_{{max}} =\mathrm{4} \\ $$
