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 ?

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
![\[\left(r+\frac{3}{4}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^2=(1-r)^2\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/b/9/fb9614ba7aa8e9a1696623786f3a96b4bdc083db.png)
Solving this equation gives us
![\[r = \boxed{\textbf{(D) } \frac{3}{28}}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/7/a/6/7a617cd86c0b14127391131cadb3817e9e5248ec.png)
