- Paper
Three circles of radius are drawn in the first quadrant of the -plane. The first circle is tangent to both axes, the second is tangent to the first circle and the -axis, and the third is tangent to the first circle and the -axis. A circle of radius is tangent to both axes and to the second and third circles. What is ?
