    AABBCCB′B'C′C'

    Circles with centers A, BA ,~ B, and CC each have radius rr, where 1<r<21 < r < 2. The distance between each pair of centers is 22. If B′B' is the point of intersection of circle AA and circle CC which is outside circle BB, and if C′C' is the point of intersection of circle AA and circle BB which is outside circle CC, then length B′C′B'C' equals (A) 3r−2(B) r2(C) r+3(r−1)(D) 1+3(r2−1)(E) none of these\textbf{(A) }3r-2 \textbf{(B) }r^2 \textbf{(C) }r+\sqrt{3(r-1)} \\ \textbf{(D) }1+\sqrt{3(r^2-1)} \textbf{(E) }\text{none of these}
