Radii of the three tangent circles of equal radius which are inscribed within a circle of given radius

Given here is a circle of a given radius. Inside it, three tangent circles of equal radius are inscribed. The task is to find the radii of these tangent circles.
Examples:

Input: R = 4
Output: 1.858

Input: R = 11
Output:: 5.1095

Approach: 

• Let the radii of the tangent circles be r, and the radius of the circumscribing circle 
  is R.x is the smaller distance from the circumference of the tangent circle and the center of the circumscribing circle.
• From the diagram, it is very clear, 
  2r + x = R
• now in triangle OBC, 
  cos 30 = r/(r+x) 
  rcos30 + xcos30 = r 
  x = r(1-cos30)/cos30
• also, x = R-2r
• So, 
  R-2r = r(1-cos30)/cos30 
  R-2r = 0.133r/0.867 
  R-2r = 0.153r 
  R = 2.153r
  so, r = 0.4645R
