$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${x}={r}\mathrm{sin}\:\theta\:,\:{y}=−{c}+{r}\mathrm{cos}\:\theta \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{r}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{cr}\mathrm{cos}\:\theta+{c}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}\:\theta=\frac{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}{cr}} \\ $$$${L}=\mathrm{2}{r}\mathrm{cos}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left(\frac{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}{cr}}\right) \\ $$$$\frac{\partial\left({L}/\mathrm{2}\right)}{\partial{c}}=\mathrm{0}\:\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\frac{{r}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{1}−\left(\frac{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}{cr}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}{r}}×\frac{\left({c}^{\mathrm{2}} −{r}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}\right)}{{c}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:{c}^{\mathrm{2}} ={r}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}\:\:\:\:\:….\left({i}\right) \\ $$$$\frac{\partial\left({L}/\mathrm{2}\right)}{\partial{r}}=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left(\frac{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}{cr}}\right)={r}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{1}−\left(\frac{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} +{c}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}{cr}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}{c}}×\frac{\left({r}^{\mathrm{2}} −{c}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}\right)}{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${using}\:\left({i}\right)\:{in}\:{above}\:{eq}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left(\frac{\sqrt{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}}{{r}}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{{r}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}}} \\ $$$$…… \\ $$
