Let ABCD be a rectangle with AB=a and BC=b.Suppose r 1 is the radius of the circle passing through A and B and touching CD ; r 2 is the radius of the circle passing through B and C and touching AD then prove that r 1 =a 2 +4b 2 /8b and r 2 =b 3 +4a 2 b/8ab

Dear sindhuja

in triangle AOD

AO2 =AD2 +OD2

r12  = a2/4  + (b-r1)2

r12  = a2/4  +  b2 +r1-2br1 

r1=a2+4b2/8b
