Problem
In the figure below, semicircles with centers at 
and 
and with radii 2 and 1, respectively, are drawn in the interior of, and sharing bases with, a semicircle with diameter 
. The two smaller semicircles are externally tangent to each other and internally tangent to the largest semicircle. A circle centered at 
is drawn externally tangent to the two smaller semicircles and internally tangent to the largest semicircle. What is the radius of the circle centered at ?
![[asy] size(5cm); draw(arc((0,0),3,0,180)); draw(arc((2,0),1,0,180)); draw(arc((-1,0),2,0,180)); draw((-3,0)--(3,0)); pair P = (-1,0)+(2+6/7)*dir(36.86989); draw(circle(P,6/7)); dot((-1,0)); dot((2,0)); dot(P); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/7/0/c70afdd05a6954478364e08a7b13089dc5022e4a.png)
