Fit a circle into one corner of a triangle. Now fit a second circle into a second corner so that it’s tangent to the first circle. Then fit a third circle into the third corner so that it’s tangent to the second circle.

Keep this up, cycling among the three corners, and the sixth circle will be tangent to the first one.
