Given here is an equilateral triangle of sidelength a which inscribes a square which in turn inscribes a reuleaux triangle. The task is to find the maximum possible area of this reuleaux triangle.
Examples: 
 

Input : a = 5 
Output : 3.79335

Input : a = 9
Output : 12.2905


 


 


Approach: We know that the side of the square inscribed within an equilateral triangle of side length a        is, x = 0.464*a (Please refer here).
Also, in the reuleaux triangle, h = x.
So, Area of Reuleaux Triangle
 

A = 0.70477*h2 
  = 0.70477*(0.464*a)2


Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++

// C++ Program to find the biggest Reuleaux triangle
// inscribed within in a square which in turn
// is inscribed within an equilateral triangle
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the biggest reuleaux triangle
float Area(float a)
{
 
    // side cannot be negative
    if (a < 0)
        return -1;
 
    // height of the reuleaux triangle
    float x = 0.464 * a;
 
    // area of the reuleaux triangle
    float A = 0.70477 * pow(x, 2);
 
    return A;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    float a = 5;
    cout << Area(a) << endl;
 
    return 0;
}

                    

Java

// Java Program to find the biggest Reuleaux triangle
// inscribed within in a square which in turn
// is inscribed within an equilateral triangle
 
class GFG
{
     
// Function to find the biggest reuleaux triangle
static float Area(float a)
{
 
    // side cannot be negative
    if (a < 0)
        return -1;
 
    // height of the reuleaux triangle
    float x = 0.464f * a;
 
    // area of the reuleaux triangle
    float A = 0.70477f * (float)Math.pow(x, 2);
 
    return A;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main (String[] args)
{
    float a = 5;
    System.out.println(String.format("%.5f", Area(a)));
}
}
