| − | Like solution 1, draw out the large equilateral triangle with side length <math>24</math>. Let the tangent point of the circle at <math>\overline{CD}</math> be G and the tangent point of the circle at <math>\overline{AF}</math> be H. Clearly, GH is the diameter of our circle, and is also perpendicular to <math>\overline{CD}</math> and <math>\overline{AF}</math>.

| − | The equilateral triangle of side length <math>10</math> is similar to our large equilateral triangle of <math>24</math>. And the height of the former equilateral triangle is <math>\sqrt{10^2-5^2}=5\sqrt{3}</math>. By our similarity condition,
