Given here is a right angle triangle with height l, base b & hypotenuse h, 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: l = 5, b = 12, h = 13
Output: 8.77914

Input: l = 3, b = 4, h = 5
Output: 2.07116

 

 

Approach: We know, the side of the square inscribed within a right angled triangle is, a = (l*b)/(l+b), please refer Area of a largest square fit in a right angle triangle
Also, in the reuleaux triangle, x = a
So, x = (l*b)/(l+b)
So, Area of the Reuleaux Triangle is, A = 0.70477*x^2 = 0.70477*((l*b)/(l+b))^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 a circle
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the biggest reuleaux triangle
float Area(float l, float b, float h)
{
 
    // the height or base or hypotenuse
    // cannot be negative
    if (l < 0 || b < 0 || h < 0)
        return -1;
 
    // height of the reuleaux triangle
    float x = (l * b) / (l + b);
 
    // area of the reuleaux triangle
    float A = 0.70477 * pow(x, 2);
 
    return A;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    float l = 5, b = 12, h = 13;
    cout << Area(l, b, h) << endl;
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java Program to find the biggest Reuleaux triangle
// inscribed within in a square which in turn
// is inscribed within a circle
import java.util.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
 
class GFG
{
 
// Function to find the biggest reuleaux triangle
static double Area(double l, double b, double h)
{
 
    // the height or base or hypotenuse
    // cannot be negative
    if (l < 0 || b < 0 || h < 0)
        return -1;
 
    // height of the reuleaux triangle
    double x = (l * b) / (l + b);
 
    // area of the reuleaux triangle
    double A = 0.70477 * Math.pow(x, 2);
 
    return A;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
    double l = 5, b = 12, h = 13;
    DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#,###,##0.00000");
    System.out.println(df.format(Area(l, b, h)));
}
}
