Solution:
Given that the three circles are drawn such that each of them touches the other two.
Now, by joining the centers of the three circles,
We get, AB = BC = CA =
(radius) =
cm
Therefore, we can say that triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle with each side
cm.
∴ Area of the triangle of side a =
=
=
=
Now, we know that Central angle of each sector =
=
radians
Thus, area of each sector =
=
=
=
Therefore, Total area of three sectors =
=
so, the Area enclosed between three circles = Area of triangle ABC – Area of the three sectors
=
=
Therefore, the required area enclosed between these circles is
