Problem
Two congruent right circular cones each with base radius and height
have the axes of symmetry that intersect at right angles at a point in the interior of the cones a distance
from the base of each cone. A sphere with radius
lies within both cones. The maximum possible value of

, where
and
are relatively prime positive integers. Find

Solution (Official MAA)
Consider the cross section of the cones and sphere by a plane that contains the two axes of symmetry of the cones as shown below. The sphere with maximum radius will be tangent to the sides of each of the cones. The center of that sphere must be on the axis of symmetry of each of the cones and thus must be at the intersection of their axes of symmetry. Let be the point in the cross section where the bases of the cones meet, and let
be the center of the sphere. Let the axis of symmetry of one of the cones extend from its vertex,
, to the center of its base,
. Let the sphere be tangent to

. The right triangles

Using the diagram above, we notice that the desired length is simply the distance between the point and
