The orange, blue and green circles with centers O , O ′ , O ′ ′ are tangent to each other at P , P ′ and P ′ ′ as shown above and △ O ′ ′ O O ′ is a right triangle.
If O O ′ = x + 1 , O ′ ′ O ′ = x , O O ′ ′ = x − 1 and the area of region R can be expressed as A R = e a − b π − c β , where tan ( β ) = e d and a , b , c , d and e are coprime positive integers, find a + b + c + d + e .

By Pythagorean theorem ,
O O ′ 2 − O O ′ ′ 2 ( x + 1 ) 2 − ( x − 1 ) 2 4 x ⟹ x = O ′ O ′ ′ 2 = x 2 = x 2 = 4
Let the radii of the green, orange, and blue circles be r 1 , r 2 , and r 3 respectively. Then we have:
⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ r 1 + r 2 = 3 r 2 + r 3 = 5 r 3 + r 1 = 4 . . . ( 1 ) . . . ( 2 ) . . . ( 3 ) ⟹ ( 2 ) − ( 1 ) + ( 3 ) : 2 r 3 = 6 ⟹ r 3 = 3 ⟹ r 1 = 1 , r 2 = 2
Then the area of R
A R = [ O O ′ O ′ ′ ] − [ O ′ ′ P P ′ ′ ] − [ O ′ P ′ P ′ ′ ] − [ O P P ′ ] = 2 3 ⋅ 4 − 4 π ⋅ 1 2 − 2 π β ⋅ π ⋅ 3 2 − 2 π 2 π − β ⋅ π ⋅ 2 2 = 6 − 4 π − 2 9 β − π + 2 β = 4 2 4 − 5 π − 1 0 β where β = tan − 1 4 3
Therefore, a + b + c + d + e = 2 4 + 5 + 1 0 + 3 + 4 = 4 6 .

△ O ′ ′ O O ′ is a right triangle ⟹ ( x − 1 ) 2 + x 2 = ( x + 1 ) 2 ⟹ 2 x 2 − 2 x + 1 = x 2 + 2 x + 1 ⟹ x ( x − 4 ) = 0 and x = 0 ⟹ x = 4
⟹ R 1 + R 2 = 5 , R 1 + R 3 = 4 , R 2 + R 3 = 3 ⟹ R 2 = 5 − R 1 = 3 − R 3 ⟹
R 1 − R 3 = 2 and we have R 1 + R 3 = 4 ⟹ R 1 = 3 ⟹ R 3 = 1 ⟹ R 2 = 2
and tan ( β ) = 4 3 ⟹ β = arctan ( 4 3 )
For the areas of the three sectors we have:
A P O ′ ′ P ′ ′ = 2 1 ( 2 π ) = 4 π .
A P O P ′ = 2 1 ( 4 ) ( 2 π − arctan ( 4 3 ) ) = π − 2 arctan ( 4 3 ) .
A P ′ O ′ P ′ ′ = 2 1 ( 9 ) arctan ( 4 3 ) = 2 9 arctan ( 4 3 )
and A △ O ′ ′ O O ′ = 6 ⟹ A R = 4 2 4 − 5 π − 1 0 arctan ( 4 3 ) =
e a − b π − c arctan ( e d ) ⟹ a + b + c + d + e = 4 6 .
