A pool rack is an equilateral triangle, filled with 15 equal-sized balls. Seen from above, we'd see a triangle, with 15 circles within.

Imagine we used smaller and smaller balls. The more the balls, more area of the triangle would be covered.

In the limit, with infinite balls, would all of the triangle be covered?

Wow.. just way it doesn't take all those formulas and equations just to figure out A CIRCLE DOESN'T FIT IN A TRIANGLE so the answer is no. You successfully wasted hours of your life.
