Four identical circles are positioned inside the unit equilateral triangle. Each of the three incircles is tangent to one of the three red lines, whereas the remaining incircle is positioned inside the central triangle.
If the radius of the circle is r , input ⌊ 1 0 5 r ⌋ as your answer.

Label the unit equilateral triangle A B C , the bottom red line be A D , the centers of the central circle and the right circle be O and P respectively. Let O M and P N be perpendicular to A B , O M cuts A D at E , and the central circle tangent to A D at F .
Let ∠ D A B = ∠ E O F = θ . Then we have:
A N + N B r cot 2 θ + r cot 3 0 ∘ t r + 3 t ⟹ t = A B = 1 = 1 = t 1 + 3 1 = 3 t + 1 t Let t = tan 2 θ
Also
A M E M A M O M − O E 2 1 2 3 1 − r sec θ cos θ − 2 3 r ⟹ r = tan ∠ D A B = tan ∠ D A B = tan θ = 3 sin θ = 2 3 cos θ − 3 sin θ = 2 3 ( 1 + t 2 ) 1 − t 2 − 2 3 t
Therefore we have:
2 3 ( 1 + t 2 ) 1 − t 2 − 2 3 t ( 1 − 2 3 t − t 2 ) ( 1 + 3 t ) 3 3 t 3 + 7 t 2 + 3 3 t − 1 ⟹ t ⟹ r = 3 t + 1 t = 2 3 t ( 1 + t 2 ) = 0 ≈ 0 . 1 5 5 9 1 2 5 4 5 = 3 t + 1 t ≈ 0 . 1 2 2 7 6 1 1
Therefore ⌊ 1 0 5 r ⌋ = 1 2 2 7 6 .

Label the diagram as follows, and let A F = E D = k :
By the law of cosines on △ A D E , A D = D E 2 + A E 2 − 2 ⋅ D E ⋅ A E ⋅ cos ∠ D E A = k 2 + 1 − 2 ⋅ k ⋅ 2 1 = k 2 − 2 k + 1 .
Since △ A B F ∼ △ A E D by AA similarity, A B = A F ⋅ A D A E = k ⋅ k 2 − 2 k + 1 1 = k 2 − 2 k + 1 k and B F = A F ⋅ A D D E = k ⋅ k 2 − 2 k + 1 k = k 2 − 2 k + 1 k 2 = C D .
Then B C = A D − A B − C D = k 2 − 2 k + 1 − k 2 − 2 k + 1 k − k 2 − 2 k + 1 k 2 = k 2 − 2 k + 1 1 − 2 k .
As an incircle of the red equilateral, r = 2 3 1 ⋅ B C = 2 3 1 ⋅ k 2 − 2 k + 1 1 − 2 k = 2 3 k 2 − 2 k + 1 1 − 2 k .
As an incircle of △ A D E , r = D E + A E + A D D E ⋅ A E ⋅ sin ∠ D E A = k + 1 + k 2 − k + 1 k ⋅ 1 ⋅ 2 3 = 2 ( k + 1 + k 2 − 2 k + 1 ) 3 k .
So r = 2 3 k 2 − 2 k + 1 1 − 2 k = 2 ( k + 1 + k 2 − 2 k + 1 ) 3 k , which solves numerically to r ≈ 0 . 1 2 2 7 6 1 and k ≈ 0 . 3 1 1 5 4 9 .
Therefore, ⌊ 1 0 5 r ⌋ = 1 2 2 7 6 .
