Since , and are all radii, so they are all equal, so is an equilateral triangles and all the angles are degrees.

Draw a sketch of the three intersecting circles, then inscribe an equilateral triangle in the region whose area you are to find, using as vertices the intersection points of the circles.
The area of each of the three regions in the intersection of the three circles but outside the equilateral triangle can be viewed as the difference between one-sixth of the area of a circle (because the angles of the triangle are each 60 degrees) and the area of the equilateral triangle.
The region whose area you are to find is the equilateral triangle plus those three pieces:
Area = (area of equilateral triangle) + 3*(1/6 the area of a circle minus the area of the equilateral triangle)
Use what you know about areas of circles and equilateral triangles to find the answer.
