AB^▲ C,equilateral with:AB=1.  circle with radius: r=(1/(2π)), tangents to  AC and AB at: D,E.  find min distance of circle from vertices  of AB^▲ C.

$${A}\overset{\blacktriangle} {{B}C},{equilateral}\:{with}:{AB}=\mathrm{1}. \\ $$$${circle}\:{with}\:{radius}:\:\boldsymbol{{r}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}\pi},\:{tangents}\:{to} \\ $$$${AC}\:{and}\:{AB}\:{at}:\:{D},{E}. \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{\mathrm{find}}\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{min}}\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{distance}}\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{of}}\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{circle}}\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{from}}\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{vertices}} \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{\mathrm{of}}\:\boldsymbol{\mathrm{A}}\overset{\blacktriangle} {\boldsymbol{\mathrm{B}C}}. \\ $$

A(0,0)  B((1/2),((√3)/2))  C(((−1)/2),((√3)/2))  centre of circle on y axis(0,b)  sin30^o =(r/b)  b=2r=2×(1/(2π))=(1/π)  so minimum distance=b=2r=(1/π)

$${A}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right)\:\:{B}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}},\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)\:\:{C}\left(\frac{−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}},\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}\right) \\ $$$${centre}\:{of}\:{circle}\:{on}\:{y}\:{axis}\left(\mathrm{0},{b}\right) \\ $$$${sin}\mathrm{30}^{{o}} =\frac{{r}}{{b}}\:\:{b}=\mathrm{2}{r}=\mathrm{2}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}\pi}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\pi} \\ $$$${so}\:{minimum}\:{distance}={b}=\mathrm{2}{r}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\pi} \\ $$
