Solution 1
If the semicircle on were a full circle, the area would be .
, therefore the diameter of the first circle is .
The arc of the largest semicircle is , so if it were a full circle, the circumference would be . So the .
By the Pythagorean theorem, the other side has length , so the radius is
Solution 2
We go as in Solution 1, finding the diameter of the circle on and . Then, an extended version of the theorem says that the sum of the semicircles on the left is equal to the biggest one, so the area of the largest is , and the middle one is , so the radius is .
