(a) ince the smaller circle rolls without slipping around, the amount of arc traversed on ( in the gure) must equal the amount of arc of the smaller circle that has been in contact with. ince the smaller circle has radius, it must have turned through an angle of =. In addition to turning through an angle, the little circle has rolled through an angle against. Thus, has turned through an angle of 3 as shown in the gure. (If the little circle had turned through an angle of with its center pinned to the -axis, then would have turned only instead of 3. The movement of the little circle around adds to the angle.) From the gure, we see that the center of the small circle has coordinates (3 cos 3 sin ). Thus, has coordinates ( ),where =3 cos + cos 3 and =3 sin + sin 3.

In this way, we see that the epitrochoid traced out by is simultaneously traced out by the other two vertices as well.

(d) We view the epitrochoid as being traced out in the same way as in part (c), by a rotor for which the distance from its center to each vertex is 3, so it has radius 6. To show that the rotor ts inside the epitrochoid, it sufces to show that for any position of the tracing point, there are no points on the opposite side of the rotor which are outside the epitrochoid.
