Can you do it without the co-ordinates?

Geometry Level 4

Three circles are tangent to each other:

  • the first has center ( 0 , 0 ) (0,0) and radius 4,

  • the second has center ( 3 , 0 ) (3,0) and radius 1, and

  • the third circle has center ( 1 , 0 ) (-1,0) and radius 3.

Find the radius of a fourth circle tangent to each of these 3 circles to 3 decimal places.


The answer is 0.923.
