A large circle of radius 1 is drawn tangent to perpendicular rays.
Find the radius of the smaller circle that is placed in the space.
:
Note the 1" square formed by two perpendicular radii and the two rays
Find the diagonal of this square: =
the diameter of the circle in the space will be the diagonal - radius of the large cicle:
the radius of the small circle then:
