2 circles in a rectangle

\(\text{Diagram shows } 2 \text{ circles inscribed in a rectangle where:}\)

r=Radius of smaller circler = \text{Radius of smaller circle}

R=Radius of larger circleR = \text{Radius of larger circle}

B=Base of rectangleB = \text{Base of rectangle}

H=Height of rectangleH = \text{Height of rectangle}

 By Pythagorean Theorem:\text{ By Pythagorean Theorem:}

(r+R)2=(B−R−r)2+(H−R−r)2 (r + R)^2 = (B - R - r)^2 + (H - R - r)^2

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.
