Paper Triangles in a Circle

Three equal right-isosceles triangles are inscribed in a circle. They are positioned around an equilateral triangle which stabilises the construction. The triangles are cut from A4 paper, with dimensions noted. The right triangles have two sides of length 8.3″ = 210 mm, and the equilateral triangle has side length 7.44″ = 188 mm. The six outermost points are equidistant from the centre of the equilateral triangle, thus lying on a circle, which is not shown.
