Drawing a circumscribed triangle inside a known circle
// This implementation assumes that the origin is at the upper-left corner of the
// drawing surface.
//
// Sample usage:
//
// Paint paint = new Paint();
// paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
// float centerX = 200;
// float centerY = 200;
// float radius = 100;
// canvas.drawCircle(centerX, centerY, radius, paint);
// drawCircumscribedTriangle(canvas, centerX, centerY, radius, (float)Math.PI/4, paint);
