A large circle of radius 1 is drawn tangent to perpendicular rays.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the radius of the smaller circle that is placed in the space.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Note the 1\" square formed by two perpendicular radii and the two rays
\n" ); document.write( "Find the diagonal of this square: \"sqrt%281%5E2%2B1%5E2%29\" = \"sqrt%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "the diameter of the circle in the space will be the diagonal - radius of the large cicle: \"sqrt%282%29+-+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "the radius of the small circle then: \"%28sqrt%282%29-1%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
