Problem

One side of an equilateral triangle of height $24$ lies on line $\ell$. A circle of radius $12$ is tangent to line $\ l$ and is externally tangent to the triangle. The area of the region exterior to the triangle and the circle and bounded by the triangle, the circle, and line $\ell$ can be written as $a \sqrt{b} - c \pi$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive integers and $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is $a + b + c$?

Solution 1

Call the bottom vertices $B$ and $C$ (the one closer to the circle is $C$) and the top vertice $A$. The tangency point between the circle and the side of triangle is $D$, and the tangency point on line $\ell$ $E$, and the center of the circle is $O$


Draw radii to the tangency points, the arc is 60 degrees because $\angle ACB$ is 60, and since $\angle DCE$ is supplementary, it's $120^{\circ}$. The sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is 360, which means $\angle COD$ is $60^{\circ}$


Triangle ODC is 30-60-90 triangle so CD is $4\sqrt{3}$. Since we have 2 congruent triangles ($\Delta ODC$ and $\Delta OEC$), the combined area of both is $48\sqrt{3}$. The area of the arc is $144*60/360*\pi$ which is $24\pi$, so the answer is $48\sqrt{3}-24\pi$


$a+b+c$ is $48+3+24$ which is $\textbf{(D)}~75$
