@milhouseandhagg,
It doesn't require calculus, and you only need to know basic trig and really basic geometry.
The centres of all three circles form an equilateral triangle. The radii of the circles are all the same, as the circles are equal, and the edges of the circles pass through the centres of the adjacent circles. Therefore there's an equal distance between each centre, therefore it's an equilateral triangle.
Therefore the area of the segment of one of the circles that includes that triangle is one sixth of the area of the circle, as the segment has an angle of 60 degrees whilst the complete circle is 360.
So one of the segments is pxx/6.
(Where p = pi, and x is the radius of the circle. xx is x squared)
Now, you need to find the area of the equilateral triangle. That's just a matter of using Pythagoras' theorem to find the height from the base of the triangle, and then multiplying it by the length of the base (x), and 1/2 (the area of a triange is half the base times the height).
Now you have to take the area of the triangle away from the area of the segment, and you'll get the area of the dicky little curvy bit that's in the segment but not the triangle.
Then you times the area of the curvy bit by three (one for each circle) and add on the area of the equilateral triangle in the middle.
This isn't really a riddle, more like a maths problem. So while I don't usually do other people's homework for them, I'm making an exception here, to make a point that you shouldn't always jump to the conclusion that you need to use calculus. Furthermore, saying that "this requires calculus", doesn't make you smart. Sorry if that sounds harsh.
