t a n ( E Y F ) = 4 so ∠ E Y F = 7 5 . 9 6 ∘ . ∠ E Y A = 2 1 ∠ E Y F = 3 7 . 9 8 ∘ .
So from △ A Y E we get the radius R = 2 × t a n ( 3 7 . 9 8 ∘ ) = 1 . 5 6 . Using that, the fact that E Z = 8 , and similarity of △ Z G F and △ Z E Y we get x = F G = G Z × E Z E Y = ( 8 − 2 R ) × 4 1 = 1 . 2 1 9 .
So when going from A to B , sizes were scaled down by the factor 2 1 . 2 1 9 = 0 . 6 9 6
Taking R and scaling it back by the same factor three times, we get the answer r = R × 0 . 6 9 6 3 = 0 . 3 5 4 .
