Circles in a Square – Part 10

In this 10th post of this series, consider the following figure with two co-tangent semi-circles drawn, centered at point $E$ on $\overline{AB}$ and $F$ on $\overline{BC}$. A full circle centered at point G, tangent with both semi-circles, line $\overline{AD}$ and $\overline{CD}$ in a unit square $ABCD$. Find … Continue reading
