Problem
In the figure, three equal cycles of diameter 
represent pulleys, that are connected with a strap. If the distances between any two pulley center points are 
, 
and 
, then the length of the strap is
Solution
The lengths of the straight parts of the strap are 
, 
, and 
. Their sum is 
. The curved parts of the band add up to a full circumference of one of the circles, so their sum is 
. The total length of the strap is 
.
