Another problem: challenging than the first one but could be solved along similar lines.
The circle on the left has a radius of 1 unit and the bigger circle on the right has a radius of 2 unit. The two circles are tangent to each other and a straight line. A third circle, obviously with a smaller radius, is inserted between the other two so that it lies tangent to the two bigger circles and the line. What's the radius of the smallest cricle?
