Solution 1
Let be the center of circle for all and let be the tangent point of . Since the radius of is the diameter of , the radius of is .
Let the radius of be and let . If we connect , we get an isosceles triangle with lengths .
Then right triangle has legs and hypotenuse . Solving for , we get .
Also, right triangle has legs , and hypotenuse . Solving,
So the answer is .
Solution 2
Note that since is the center of the larger circle of radius . Using the Pythagorean Theorem on ,
Now using the Pythagorean Theorem on ,
Substituting ,
Solution 3
We can apply Descartes' Circle Formula.
The four circles have curvatures , and .
We have
Simplifying, we get
