There are 3 identical circles inside a rectangl . Each circle touches other two circles and the sides of the rectangle . The radius of each circle is 2m . what’s the exact area of the rectangle . (in the form of a √3+b where A and B are integers?

This is hard to illustrate without drawing, but essentially here’s the solution. One of the rectangle lengths will be twice the width of the circle. The width of a circle is 2*2m = 4m, so the side length of the rectangle is 8m. There is an equilateral triangle of side-length 2m formed by the centre of these circles. Each internal angle of such a triangle is 60 degrees. We can use trigonometry to show that the remaining side of the triangle is 2*2m + tan(60)*2m = (4+√3)m The area is the product of these two lengths: 8m*(4+√3)m = (8√3+32)m^2 See the following image for a visual depiction: https://i2.wp.com/mindyourdecisions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/rectangle-area-from-3-circles-hard-gcse-maths-problem-solution.png?w=600&ssl=1

Study smarter, learn faster without working harder

I spent a lot of my class time in secondary school being bored and restless. I was NOT a model student. Sitting in a class was always so boring to me. Then I discovered fun ways of making the lessons interesting when I attended the Mind Olympics in Earls Court. The 'mind athletes' at this event learned how to use their brains like a musical instrument. Learning and memorising facts easily like picking up feathers. Ever since that time I have been learning many subjects and showing other students how to enjoy their subjects while find better ways to get the results they want.

Struggling with maths or science? I can help!

Hello! I'm a friendly, approachable 1st class pharmacy graduate from UCL and currently work as a medical writer in the pharmaceutical industry, whilst tutoring in my spare time. I've achieved A*-A grades at GCSE and AS/A levels in Maths, biology chemistry, and physics. I'd love to share my knowledge and passion for these subjects and tutoring is an ideal way for me to pursue this. I have taught Maths and English to students aged 5-14 years and have tutored GCSE Maths and Science to students in after school clubs as well as privately. In addition to this, I have also assisted students with the science and maths components of entrance exam preparation. Whilst I was at university, I took part in the Teach First leadership development programme, which involved lectures on the current education system and various teaching techniques. I also worked as a teaching assistant during this programme, where I successfully planned and taught a science lesson to year 5 class.
