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 1
With some simple geometry skills, we can find that has a radius of .
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.
In which we get an equation by pythagorean theorem:
Solving it gives us
