r = AB/6 if a circle touches three semicircles drawn with AM, MB and AB as diameter on the same side of a line AB
Step-by-step explanation:
Let say AB = 4x
Then Radius of bigger SemiCircle = 4x/2 = 2x
AM = BM = 4x/2 = 2x
Then Radius of Smaller Semicircle = 2x/2 = x
let say r is the radius od circle touching all three semicircles at P , Q & R
OL = x + r
ON = x + r
LN = 2x
Δ OLN is an isoscelles triangle
M is midpoint hence
OM ⊥ LN
OM = 2x - r
ON² = OM² + MN²
=>(x + r)² = (2x - r)² + x²
=> x² + r² + 2xr = 4x² + r² - 4xr + x²
=> 4x² - 6xr = 0
=> 4x = 6r
=> r = 4x/6
4x =AB
=> r = AB/6
