Outer circle radius is R. Circle with center A has radius r=R/2. If △ABC is equilateral, find its edge length (say a).

Yes Sir . I took △ side =2s (8s^2 −6s+(1/2))^2 +12(8s^2 −6s+(1/2))+6=0 ⇒ 8s^2 +6s+(1/2)=−6−(√(30)) 2s=((3±(√(8(√(30))−43)))/4) ≈ 0.97608 , 0.52392

Let △ side be 2s. 2s=r+c And mid point of AC be M(ssin α, −r+scos α) BM=s(√3) B(ssin α+s(√3)cos α, −r+scos α−s(√3)sin α) OB^( 2) =R^2 s^2 sin^2 α+3s^2 cos^2 α+2(√3)s^2 sin αcos α +r^2 +s^2 cos^2 α+3s^2 sin^2 α−2(√3)s^2 sin αcos α −2rscos α+2(√3)rssin α=R^2 ⇒ 4s^2 −2rscos α+2(√3)rssin α=R^2 say (s/R)=t, and (r/R)=(1/2) (given) 4t^2 −tcos α+(√3)tsin α=1 .......(i) Now C(2ssin α, −r+2scos α) OC^( 2) =(R−c)^2 =(R+r−2s)^2 4s^2 −4rscos α=(R+2r−2s)(R−2s) 2t^2 −tcos α=(1−t)(1−2t) .....(ii) ⇒ tcos α=3t−1 from ..(i) (√3)tsin α=1−4t^2 +3t−1 ⇒ 3(3t−1)^2 +(3t−4t^2 )^2 =3t^2 ⇒ (3t−4t^2 )^2 +24t^2 −18t+3=0 (3t−4t^2 )^2 −6(3t−4t^2 )+3=0 ...something went wrong this time..
