Question Number 39175 by ajfour last updated on 03/Jul/18

Answered by MJS last updated on 03/Jul/18

let d>R+r  2 rectangular triangles:  d^2 −(R−r)^2 =p^2   d^2 −(R+r)^2 =q^2   (d/(sin 90°))=(p/(sin β_1 ))=((R−r)/(sin γ_1 )) ⇒ γ_1 =arcsin ((R−r)/d)  (d/(sin 90°))=(q/(sin β_2 ))=((R+r)/(sin γ_2 )) ⇒ γ_2 =arcsin ((R+r)/d)  α=γ_1 +γ_2 =arcsin ((R−r)/d) +arcsin ((R+r)/d)  ...but I′m confusing myself without drawing  scetches, so please check and correct
