the idea is, find a circle which touches the  3 given circles in exactly one point each.  I get  r=(4/(33))  if the left bottom vertice of the square is  ((0),(0) )  the equation of the green circle is  (x−((20)/(33)))^2 +(y−(7/(11)))^2 =((4/(33)))^2   or  y=(7/(11))±((√(−(11x−8)(33x−16)))/(11(√3)))
