Your derived function is:
I too see no elementary solution. However If one looks at this page on circular segments scroll down to just above the section on area we see the formula for the central angle: \(\displaystyle \Theta=2\arcsin\left(\dfrac{{\bf{c}}}{2R}\right)\). Where \(\displaystyle \bf{c}=1,~2,~3\) are the lengths of the corresponding chords. Look at this solution. At least while not elementary is is simpler to follow.Your derived function is: I do not see any elementary algebraic method to find root of this function. You can estimate the root by numerical iteration
