Three circles are drawn, so that each circle is externally tangent to the other two circles. Each circle has a radius of 2.  A triangle is then constructed, such that each side of the triangle is tangent to two circles, as shown below. Find the perimeter of the triangle.

The perimeter works out to 12 + 18*sqrt(3).
