| There are two circles , C of radius 1 and C_r
of radius r which intersect on a plain
At each of the two intersecting
points on the circumferences of
C and C_r ,the tangent to C and
that to C_r form an angle 120° outside
of C and C_r . Fill in the blanks
with the answers to the following
questions
(1) Express the distance d between
the centers of C and C_r in terms
of r
(2) Calculate the value of r at
which d in (1) attains the minimum
(3) in case(2) express the area
of the intersection of C and C_r
in terms of the constant π
