Commented by ajfour last updated on 11/Apr/20

The two shown spheres, each of  radius r are tangent to each other  and to the faces of a dihedral   angle α. Find the radius of the  sphere that is tangent to the  planes and the two spheres as well.  Ans:   R= r[1+2tan^2 ((α/2))± tan ((α/2))(√(3+4tan^2 ((α/2)))) ]
