BALTIC-WAY 1991 Problem 16

    Let two circles C1C_{1} and C2C_{2} (with radii r1r_{1} and r2r_{2} ) touch each other externally, and let ll be their common tangent. A third circle C3C_{3} (with radius r3<min⁡(r1,r2)r_{3}<\min \left(r_{1}, r_{2}\right) ) is externally tangent to the two given circles and tangent to the line ll. Prove that

    1r3=1r1+1r2\frac{1}{\sqrt{r_{3}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{r_{1}}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{r_{2}}}
