Four tangent circles 2012-10-04
From renu:
inside of a circle K of radius length measure R,three circular discs A,Band C each of radius r are placed so that each touches the other two and K . express R in terms of r. in the space between K, A and B , another circular disc D is placed which just touches K, A and B. if the radius is s, show that (6+root3)s=(2+root3)r

One central circle and three tangent circles 2011-10-16
From Margaret:
You have one central circle and three or more circles tangent to the outside of the circle of varying radii. You know the x,y coordinates of the centers of the other circles. If you now remove that central circle (and pretend you never knew where it was), can you calculate its center in x,y coordinates?

Three tangent circles 2011-05-01
From mark:
Three circles of radii 24 cm, 32 cm, and 42 cm are externally tangent to each other (each is tangent to the other two). Draw a diagram and using the Law of Cosines find the largest angle of the triangle formed by joining their centres.

Three circles 2009-10-02
From Brandon:
There is a quarter circle with a radius of 1. along one eged of it, there is a semi-circl with a diameter of 1, and its center is on the drawn line. there is another semi-circle again with the center on the other drawn line, and this one has an unknown diameter of X. both circles are internally tangent, and are tangent to each other. Find X.

Two tangent circles 2009-01-23
From Murtaza:
Two circles touch externally at T. A chord of the first circle XY is produced and touches the other at Z. The chord ZT of the second circle, when produced, cuts the first circle at W. Prove that angle XTW = angle YTZ.

Four tangent circles 2005-12-06
From Ananth:

I have one bigger circle A with radius 15.

Inside this bigger circle i have another circle B with radius 3 which touch this bigger circle. Have another circle C with radius 4 which touches A and B. I would like to draw a biggest circle which touches A,B and C.
