Solution 1
A?quadratic equation?always has two roots, unless it has a double root. That means we can write the quadratic as a square, and the coefficients 4 and 9 suggest this.?Completing the square,?, so?. The sum of these is?.
Solution 2
Another method would be to use the quadratic formula, since our??coefficient is given?as?4, the??coefficient is??and the constant term is?. Hence,??Because we want only a single solution for?, the determinant must equal 0.

Without loss of generality, let?. Draw the segment between the center of the third circle and the large circle; this has length?. We then draw the?radius?of the large circle that is perpendicular to the?x-axis, and draw the perpendicular from this radius to the center of the third circle. This gives us a?right triangle?with legs??and?hypotenuse?. The?Pythagorean Theorem?yields:

The given states that there are??prime numbers less than?, which is a fact we must somehow utilize. Since there seems to be no easy way to directly calculate the number of "prime-looking" numbers, we can apply?complementary counting. We can split the numbers from??to??into several groups:?????.

Solution 1 (non-rigorous)
For this solution, we will just find?as?many solutions?as?possible, until it becomes intuitive that there are no more size of triangles left.
First, try to make three of its vertices form an equilateral triangle. This we find is possible by taking any?vertex, and connecting the three adjacent vertices into a triangle. This triangle will have a side length of?; a quick further examination of this cube will show us that this is the only possible side length (red triangle in diagram). Each of these triangles is determined by one vertex of the cube, so in one cube we have 8 equilateral triangles. We have 8 unit cubes, and then the entire cube (green triangle), giving us 9 cubes and??equilateral triangles.
NOTE: Connecting the centers of the faces will actually give an?octahedron, not a cube, because it only has??vertices.
Now, we look for any additional equilateral triangles. Connecting the midpoints of three non-adjacent, non-parallel edges also gives us more equilateral triangles (blue triangle). Notice that picking these three edges leaves two vertices alone (labelled A and B), and that picking any two opposite vertices determine two equilateral triangles. Hence there are??of these equilateral triangles, for a total of?.
Solution 2 (rigorous)
The three-dimensional?distance formula?shows that the lengths of the equilateral triangle must be?, which yields the possible edge lengths of
??
Some casework shows that??are the only lengths that work, from which we can use the same counting argument?as?above.
