I made an equilateral triangle using the centers of the triangle.
Since an equilateral triangle has angles of 60o, each sector part is just \(\frac{1}{6}\) of the circle.
Circumference of each circle = 36 units
Radius = \(\frac{18}{π}\)
Sector areas = \(3 \cdot \frac{1}{6} \cdot (\frac{18}{π})^2 π\)
= \(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{324}{π^2}π\)
= \(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{324}{π}\)
= \(\frac{162}{π}\)
Now the area of the equilateral triangle is:
\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\cdot (\frac{36}{π})^2\)
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \cdot \frac{1296}{π^2}\)
= \(\frac{1296\sqrt{3}}{4π^2}\)
Which means the area of the shaded region is:
\(\frac{1296\sqrt{3}}{4π^2} - \frac{162}{π}\)
= \(\frac{1296\sqrt{3}}{4π^2} - \frac{162π}{π^2}\)
= \(\frac{1296\sqrt{3}}{4π^2} - \frac{648π}{4π^2}\)
= \(\frac{1296\sqrt{3} - 648π}{4π^2}\)
= \(\frac{4(324\sqrt{3} - 162π)}{4π^2}\)
= \(\frac{324\sqrt{3} - 162π}{π^2}\)
please tell me if I did anything wrong...
