Problem:
In a plane, equilateral triangle , square , and regular dodecagon each have side length and do not overlap. Find the area of the circumcircle of .
Solution:
Note that . In a dodecagon, each interior angle is , meaning that . Since and (just like how ), then we have that , and because the triangles are isosceles, then , so is the circumcenter of .
Now, applying the Law of Cosines gets that , so .
