Pi and triangles? No!

Geometry Level 5

A pentagon has respective side lengths a a , a 3 a \sqrt 3 , a a , a a , and a a , and angles 9 0 90^\circ , 9 0 90^\circ , 12 0 120^\circ , 12 0 120^\circ , and 12 0 120^\circ , both corresponding. This pentagon can be split into an equilateral triangle and two other triangles.

Find the smallest positive integer of a a which satisfies the condition the product of the areas of the three triangles divided by their sum is greater than 100000 π 100000 \pi .


The answer is 41.
