Find maximum side length of equilateral △ABC , in terms of p, q, and r; the vertices of which lie respectively on three concentric circles of radii p<q<r. Assume vertex A is as shown on outermost circle and on vertical axes.

we get two triangles with side length s=(√((p^2 +q^2 +r^2 ±(√(3δ)))/2)) with δ=(p+q+r)(−p+q+r)(p−q+r)(p+q−r)
$${we}\:{get}\:{two}\:{triangles}\:{with}\:{side}\:{length} \\ $$$${s}=\sqrt{\frac{{p}^{\mathrm{2}} +{q}^{\mathrm{2}} +{r}^{\mathrm{2}} \pm\sqrt{\mathrm{3}\delta}}{\mathrm{2}}}\:{with} \\ $$$$\delta=\left({p}+{q}+{r}\right)\left(−{p}+{q}+{r}\right)\left({p}−{q}+{r}\right)\left({p}+{q}−{r}\right) \\ $$
