- [ 8 ] Let ABC be a triangle with CA = CB = 5 and AB = 8. A circle ω is drawn such that the interior of triangle ABC is completely contained in the interior of ω . Find the smallest possible area of ω . Answer: 16 π We need to contain the interior of AB , so the diameter is at least 8. This bound is sharp because the circle with diameter AB contains all of ABC . Hence the minimal area is 16 π .
