Big circle with radius three, and there are three circles inside of the big one all tangent to each other, one with a radius of 2, another with a radius of 1, and I have to find the radius of the smallest triangle. HELP?!

isnt it just 1? since the full radius of the big circle is 3... since its a circle it should have the same radius anywhere on the circle.. thus the 2 from the big circle only leaves 1 left.. thus the small circle has to be one? is that what your looking for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not really sure on this one. I called in other ppl and we aren't so sure. For a wild guess you could say .75, but we have no idea how.. sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thanks for the effort.
