Inradius r is given by: r = s ( s − a ) ( s − b ) ( s − c ) , where a , b and c are the side lengths of the triangle and s = 2 a + b + c .
Therefore, the radius of circle centered C 1 :
r 1 = 8 ( 8 − 6 ) ( 8 − 5 ) ( 8 − 5 ) = 8 2 × 3 × 3 = 2 3
We note that C 1 , C 2 and C 3 are aligned on a same straight line. They are incircles of similar triangles.
And we note that: r 1 r 2 = 4 4 − 2 r 1 = 4 1 .
Similarly, r 2 r 3 = 4 1 ⇒ r 2 = 8 3 ⇒ r 3 = 3 2 3
The required result:
2 1 × 6 × 4 − π ( r 1 2 + r 2 2 + r 3 2 ) + r 2
= 1 2 − π ( ( 2 3 ) 2 + ( 8 3 ) 2 + ( 3 2 3 ) 2 ) + 8 3 = 4 . 8 3 7
