The Uncomfortable Circles

Geometry Level 5

In the given figure, R 1 , R 2 R_1, R_2 and R 3 R_3 are the three circles that are externally tangent to each other. There exists a A B C \triangle ABC that is tangent to all the three circles. The radii of circle R 1 , R 2 R_1, R_2 and R 3 R_3 are 1 , 1.5 1, 1.5 and 2 2 respectively. Find the area of the A B C . \triangle ABC.


The answer is 49.38.

I made three circles, designed coordinates, calculated the measure of the sides and found the area by Heron's formula, it was hectic.

Lol... I regret creating this problem
