s=side length of large equilateral  t=side length of small equilateral (green)  PQ=s−2(√3)a  red line =(√((s−2(√3)a)^2 −(2a)^2 ))=(√(s^2 +8a^2 −4(√3)sa))  t=red line  b=(t/(2(√3)))=(1/2)(√((s^2 +8a^2 −4(√3)sa)/3))  let α=(a/s), β=(b/s)  ⇒β=(1/2)(√((1+8α^2 −4(√3)α)/3))  such that b=a,  12α^2 =1+8α^2 −4(√3)α  4α^2 +4(√3)α−1=0  ⇒α=1−((√3)/2)≈0.134
