In a plane, equilateral triangle ABC, square BCDE, and regular dodecagon DEFGHIJKLMNO each have side length 1 and do not overlap. Find the area of the circumcircle of △AFN.
A number or a short expression. Spacing and $ signs are ignored.
Solution
Note that ∠ACD=∠ACB+∠BCD=60∘+90∘=150∘. In a dodecagon, each interior angle is 180∘⋅1212−2=150∘ meaning that ∠FED=∠DON=150∘. since EF=FD=1 and DO=ON=1 (just like how AC=CD=1 ), then we have that △ACD≅△DON≅△FED and because the triangles are isosceles, then AD=DF=FN so D is the circumcenter of △AFN. Now, applying the Law of Cosines gets that AD2=2+3 so AD2π=(2+3)π.
