In Isoceles Triangle ABC, CA = CB. DEA is congruent to BEA, and DEA = BEA = 90 degrees. Circles M, N, O have radius 1 and are inscribed in ABC. What is the area of ABC?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Triangles DEA and BEA are 3-4-5 right-angled triangles!!!

 

Knowing that ​it's very easy to calculate the area of ΔABC.

 

[ABC] ≈ 21.429 square units  smiley
