Hi people,
I have to draw this two mathematical graphics. I tried drawing on it but the result is not quite spot on. Maybe there is a better way. Any tips for this?
Thanks 1000!
To draw the 3 circles, first draw an equal sided triangle. You can do that with the Polygon tool. Start dragging on the artboard to create the polygon and do not release your mouse. Hit the down arrow key on the keypad until there are only 3 sides. Still do not release the mouse. Hold down the Shift key to straighten the triangle. Once it looks the way you want, release the mouse.
Draw a circle so that the center of the circle is on the tip of the triangle. Turning on Smart Guides under the View

Draw a circle so that the center of the circle is on the tip of the triangle. Turning on Smart Guides under the View menu is helpful.
Duplicate the circle and align the center of the duplicate with another corner of the triangle.
