AMC 12 2004a Problem 19

  • Paper

Circles A,BA, B and CC are externally tangent to each other, and internally tangent to circle DD. Circles BB and CC are congruent. Circle AA has radius 11 and passes through the center of DD. What is the radius of circle BB?

unitsize(15mm);
pair A=(-1,0),B=(2/3,8/9),C=(2/3,-8/9),D=(0,0);

draw(Circle(D,2));
draw(Circle(A,1));
draw(Circle(B,8/9));
draw(Circle(C,8/9));

label("AA", A);
label("BB", B);
label("CC", C);
label("DD", (-1.2,1.8));

(A) 23(B) 32(C) 78(D) 89(E) 1+33\text{(A) } \frac23 \text{(B) } \frac {\sqrt3}{2} \text{(C) } \frac78 \text{(D) } \frac89 \text{(E) } \frac {1 + \sqrt3}{3}
