Answer for Day 1 Math Problem

0 🎯

There is also another answer depending on how you interpreted the word problem (see solution).

Solution

There are two ways to draw the circles which "intersect each other exactly once" (as shown on the image). It is either the circles do not overlap each other, or the circles completely overlap one another.

1. In the first scenario, the area of the region inscribed by the three circles is equal to the area of the triangle formed by the combination of the radii of the three circles minus the area of the sector of the three circles. I would like to leave the solution to the reader using both geometry and trigonometry. 😅
2. In the second scenario, since the two smaller circles are inside the larger circle, there is no region that is enclosed by the circles. Therefore, the area of the region is 0 square centimeters. (The unit does not matter here, because the quantity is exactly zero.) 🎯

• @jfang003's answer was "no answer", but there can be multiple answers to the problem based on how it is interpreted. 😁
• @eturnerx's understanding of the problem is valid, but he did not put an answer. 😮
