Let CC be the unit circle. Four distinct, smaller congruent circles C1,C2,C3,C4C_{1}, C_{2}, C_{3}, C_{4} are internally tangent to CC such that CiC_{i} is externally tangent to Ci−1C_{i-1} and Ci+1C_{i+1} for i=i= 1,…,41, \ldots, 4 where C5C_{5} denotes C1C_{1} and C0C_{0} represents C4C_{4}. Compute the radius of C1C_{1}.
