Additionally, since point $C$ is the center of the quarter circle and point $G$ is the center of the semi-circle, both of&nbsp;them are tangent with the full circle centered at point $H$, by assuming the radius of the full circle is $r$ and $\\overline{GL} = t$, we have:\n$$\\overline{GH}=\\dfrac{1}{4}+r,\\ \\ \\ \\overline{HL}=\\dfrac{1}{4}-r$$\n$$\\overline{CH}=1+r, \\ \\ \\ \\overline{CJ}=1-t. \\ \\ \\ \\overline{HJ}=1-r$$\nTherefore, we have the following equations:\n$$t^2+(\\dfrac{1}{4})^2=(\\dfrac{1}{4}+r)^2$$\n$$(1-t)^2+(1-r)^2=(1+r)^2$$\nSimplify the above equations, we have: $$t^2=r, \\ \\ \\ (1-t)^2=4r$$\nWe have two solutions $$t=\\dfrac{1}{3}, \\ \\ \\ r=\\dfrac{1}{9}$$\n$$t=\u22121, \\ \\ \\ r=1$$\nBy ignoring invalid answer $r=1$, we have the answer $r=\\dfrac{1}{9}$.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To be continued&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continue the topic in the previous post of this series, we add another circle inscribed in the area bounded by one side of the unit squares, the simi-circle and the quarter-circle, as the following.
