Abstract:This article deals with the construction of an equilateral triangle that must satisfy the following special constraint conditions. If the equilateral triangle is denoted by ΔABC, then the radii of the inscribed circle, the three escribed circles of ΔABC, and the circumcircle of ΔABC all must have positive integral radii. The inscribed circle radius is required to be 1 unit. The three escribed circles that have equal radii must have 3 units each, and the circumcircle of the triangle must have 2 units. All these requirements may seem outlandish. The aim is to teach crucial Geometric principles that Geometric designs must take into account before the constructions are implemented. This article hopefully may be useful to students of College Geometry as well as teachers.
Keywords:inscribed  escribed circles  circumcircle  nine-point circle
