I don't see how you derive a, b, eq3 and eq4 from your original equations which are, as far as I can tell :

$$ begin{align} 4r^2 &= \left(\cos(beta)+2\cos\left(-\frac{7\pi}{12}\right)\right)^2 r^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}+\left(\sin(beta)+2\sin\left(\frac{-7\pi}{12}\right)\right)r\right)^2\\ 4r^2 &= \left(\frac{1}{2}-2\cos\left(\frac{-7\pi}{12}\right)r-x\right)^2+\left(-2\sin\left(\frac{-7\pi}{12}\right)r-y\right)^2\\ 4r^2 &= \left(\frac{1}{2}-\cos(beta)r-2\cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right)r-x\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}-\sin(beta)r-2\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right)r-y\right)^2\\ 16 r^2 &= \left(x+1/2-2\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)r\right)^2+\left(y-2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)r\right)^2 \end{align} $$

Translating (by hand) these ORIGINAL equations from LaTeX to Sage gives :

sage: x, y, r, beta = var("x, y, r, beta")
sage: Sys0 = [4*r^2 == (cos(beta)+2*cos(-7*pi/12))^2*r^2+(1/2+(sin(beta)+2*sin(-7*pi/12))*r)^2,
....:         4*r^2 == (1/2-2*cos(-7*pi/12)*r-x)^2+(-2*sin(-7*pi/12)*r-y)^2,
....:         4*r^2 == (1/2-cos(beta)*r-2*cos(5*pi/12)*r-x)^2+(1/2-sin(beta)*r-2*sin(5*pi/12)*r-y)^2,
....:         16*r^2 == (x+1/2-2*cos(pi/12)*r)^2+(y-2*sin(pi/12)*r)^2]; Sys0
[4*r^2 == 1/4*r^2*(sqrt(6) - sqrt(2) - 2*cos(beta))^2 + 1/4*(r*(sqrt(6) + sqrt(2) - 2*sin(beta)) - 1)^2,
 4*r^2 == 1/4*(r*(sqrt(6) + sqrt(2)) - 2*y)^2 + 1/4*(r*(sqrt(6) - sqrt(2)) - 2*x + 1)^2,
 4*r^2 == 1/4*(r*(sqrt(6) + sqrt(2)) + 2*r*sin(beta) + 2*y - 1)^2 + 1/4*(r*(sqrt(6) - sqrt(2)) + 2*r*cos(beta) + 2*x - 1)^2,
 16*r^2 == 1/4*(r*(sqrt(6) + sqrt(2)) - 2*x - 1)^2 + 1/4*(r*(sqrt(6) - sqrt(2)) - 2*y)^2]

I can's be clever about this system, so I'll translate it straightforwardly translate it (explcitly) as a polynomial system, adding $\sin^2 x + \cos^2x=1$ as a fifth equation. I suppose that you are interested in real solutions :

sage: RR.<px, py, pr, ps, pc>=AA[]
sage: Sys1 = [RR((u.lhs()-u.rhs()).subs({x:px, y:py, r:pr, sin(beta):ps, cos(beta):pc})) for u in Sys0] + [ps^2+pc^2-1] ; Sys1
[-pr^2*ps^2 - pr^2*pc^2 + 3.863703305156273?*pr^2*ps + 1.035276180410083?*pr^2*pc - pr*ps + 1.931851652578137?*pr - 1/4,

 ps^2 + pc^2 - 1]

Getting solutions is straightforward

sage: %time J1 = RR.ideal(Sys1)
CPU times: user 275 µs, sys: 32 µs, total: 307 µs
Wall time: 311 µs
sage: %time J1.dimension()
CPU times: user 171 ms, sys: 3.8 ms, total: 175 ms
Wall time: 175 ms
0

There is a finite number of discrete solutions, hence we can get explicit solutions directly :

sage: %time Sols=J1.variety()
CPU times: user 35.4 s, sys: 32.7 ms, total: 35.5 s
Wall time: 35.5 s

This explicit computation needs time, indeed...

sage: len(Sols)

sage: Sols
[{pc: -0.9795113217939650?, ps: -0.2013891021814229?, pr: 0.1445361712302778?, py: 0.3410301564303419?, px: 0.2924300597940488?},
 {pc: 0.7803658846130199?, ps: 0.6253231853466966?, pr: 0.1520127908172118?, py: 0.4152908622716472?, px: 0.3000498775196634?}]

These solutions check numerically :

sage: [[((v:=u.subs({x:s[px], y:s[py], r:s[pr], sin(beta):s[ps], cos(beta):s[pc]})).lhs()-v.rhs()).n(digits=30) for u in Sys0] for s in Sols]
[[-1.84889274661174641893373882488e-32,
  1.04000216996910736065022808900e-32,

  -4.93038065763132378382330353302e-32]]

But a formal check seems difficult : sage: [[((v:=u.subs({x:s[px], y:s[py], r:s[pr], sin(beta):s[ps], cos(beta):s[pc]})).lhs()-v.rhs()).is_zero() for u in Sys0] for s in Sols] "never" returns (meaning that I abported after about 5 minutes...).

Your approximate solution is not found. But this solution was based on your transformed equations, whose derivation is not clear to me.

Maybe check these derivations ?

Maybe check these derivations ?

HTH,

I don't see how you derive a, b, eq3 and eq4 from your original equations which are, as far as I can tell :

$$ begin{align} 4r^2 &= \left(\cos(beta)+2\cos\left(-\frac{7\pi}{12}\right)\right)^2 r^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}+\left(\sin(beta)+2\sin\left(\frac{-7\pi}{12}\right)\right)r\right)^2\\ 4r^2 &= \left(\frac{1}{2}-2\cos\left(\frac{-7\pi}{12}\right)r-x\right)^2+\left(-2\sin\left(\frac{-7\pi}{12}\right)r-y\right)^2\\ 4r^2 &= \left(\frac{1}{2}-\cos(beta)r-2\cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right)r-x\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}-\sin(beta)r-2\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right)r-y\right)^2\\ 16 r^2 &= \left(x+1/2-2\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)r\right)^2+\left(y-2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)r\right)^2 \end{align} $$

HTH,

I don't see how you derive a, b, eq3 and eq4 from your original equations which are, as far as I can tell :

$$ begin{align} 4r^2 &= \left(\cos(beta)+2\cos\left(-\frac{7\pi}{12}\right)\right)^2 r^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}+\left(\sin(beta)+2\sin\left(\frac{-7\pi}{12}\right)\right)r\right)^2\\ 4r^2 &= \left(\frac{1}{2}-2\cos\left(\frac{-7\pi}{12}\right)r-x\right)^2+\left(-2\sin\left(\frac{-7\pi}{12}\right)r-y\right)^2\\ 4r^2 &= \left(\frac{1}{2}-\cos(beta)r-2\cos\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right)r-x\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}-\sin(beta)r-2\sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{12}\right)r-y\right)^2\\ 16 r^2 &= \left(x+1/2-2\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)r\right)^2+\left(y-2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)r\right)^2 \end{align} $$

Translating (by hand) these ORIGINAL equations from LaTeX to Sage gives :

I can't be clever about this system, so I'll straightforwardly translate it (explcitly) as a polynomial system, adding $\sin^2{beta} + \cos^2{beta} =1$ as a fifth equation. I suppose that you are interested in real solutions :

sage: RR.<px, py, pr, ps, pc>=AA[]

Getting solutions is straightforward

There is a finite number of discrete solutions, hence we can get explicit solutions directly :

These solutions check numerically :

But a formal check seems difficult : sage: [[((v:=u.subs({x:s[px], y:s[py], r:s[pr], sin(beta):s[ps], cos(beta):s[pc]})).lhs()-v.rhs()).is_zero() for u in Sys0] for s in Sols] "never" returns (meaning that I abported after about 5 minutes...).
