r_2 =(R/4)  (r_1 +r_2 )^2 −(((3R)/4)−r_1 )^2 =(R−r_1 )^2 −r_1 ^2   (r_2 +((3R)/4))(2r_1 +r_2 −((3R)/4))=R(R−2r_1 )  4r_1 =((3R)/2)  ⇒r_1 =((3R)/8)  (−(1/R)+(1/r_1 )+(1/r_2 )+(1/r))^2 =2((1/R^2 )+(1/r_1 ^2 )+(1/r_2 ^2 )+(1/r^2 ))  (−(1/R)+(8/(3R))+(4/R)+(1/r))^2 =2((1/R^2 )+((64)/(9R^2 ))+((16)/R^2 )+(1/r^2 ))  (((17)/(3R))+(1/r))^2 =2(((217)/(9R^2 ))+(1/r^2 ))  (9/(145))−((102r)/(145R))+(r^2 /R^2 )=0  (r/R)=((51±36)/(145))=(3/(29)) or (3/5)  for the smaller circle: (r/R)=(3/(29)) ✓    for the bigger circle (blue): (r/R)=(3/5)
