AMC 12 2005a Problem 16

  • Paper

Three circles of radius ss are drawn in the first quadrant of the xyxy-plane. The first circle is tangent to both axes, the second is tangent to the first circle and the xx-axis, and the third is tangent to the first circle and the yy-axis. A circle of radius r>sr > s is tangent to both axes and to the second and third circles. What is r/sr/s?
