Three differently sized circles and a line can be positioned so that they are all mutually tangent to one another, as shown below. If the largest circle has radius 225 and the medium circle has radius 100, what is the radius of the smallest circle?
36
EXPLANATION:
The specialized case for Descartes' Theorem, k4 = k1 + k2 ± 2√(k1k2), where k is defined as the curvature 1/r for each circle. In this case, k4 = 1/225 + 1/100 + 2√((1/225)(1/100)) = 1/36, and so r = 36.
r must be 36
Each circle has radius 1. What is the area of the green region in the following image?
If AF=1 and AB=AC=7 in the given image then what would be the radius of grey circle?
A circular sector with central angle equal to 120 as shown in figure. We want to place a square symmetrically in it as shown. If the radius of the circular sector is 100 units, what is the side length of the square ?
