Problem
Circle and
each have radius
, and the distance between their centers is
. Circle
is the largest circle internally tangent to both
and
. Circle
is internally tangent to both
and
and externally tangent to
. What is the radius of
?
Solution
Let be the center of the midpoint of the line segment connecting both the centers, say
and
.
Let the point of tangency with the inscribed circle and the right larger circles be .
Then
Since is internally tangent to
, center of
,
and their tangent point must be on the same line.
Now, if we connect centers of ,
and
/
, we get a right angled triangle.
Let the radius of equal
. With the pythagorean theorem on our triangle, we have
Solving this equation gives us
