You could have made this a bit easier by noticing that the center of the top right circle is r*sqrt(2) away from the top right corner... Add that to 3r, which accounts for the remaining length of the diagonal that is contained within the circles, and then to 2r*sqrt(2), which is the length of the diagonal smaller square. Our setup looks like this: (3+3sqrt(2))r = sqrt(2), thus r equals (2 - sqrt(2))/3.

The diagonal with length √2 goes through the rightmost circle's midpoint, and from there to the corner it is √2 r. Adding the other three radii and the square's diagonal we get √2 = 2 √2 r + 3 r + √2 r = 3(√2+1)r. Therefore r = 1/3 √2/(1+√2) = 1/3 (2-√2).

I did it another way. The total diagonal is root 2. The distance between the top right corner and the centre of nearest circle is root 2 r (triangle with two radii parallel to the top and right hand sides). That plus three more circle radii and the small square diagonal which is 2root2(r) gives you an equation with the total length of root 2 that you can solve for r.

The equation is (√2 + 3 + 2√2)r = √2. (3√2 + 3)r = √2 r = √2 / (3√2 + 3) We multiply top and bottom by the conjugate (3√2 - 3) to clear surds from the denominator: r = √2*(3√2 - 3) / (3√2 + 3)*(3√2 - 3) r = (3*2 - 3√2) / ((3√2)² - (3)²) r = 3(2 - √2) / (18 - 9) r = 3(2 - √2) / 9 That gives r = (2 - √2)/3.

I solved this quite differently. First I noticed that the diagonal of the inner square, outer square, and the center of two circles are coincident because the picture is a mirror image along that diagonal. Then I found the diagonal of the inner triangle and the line from the corner of triangle to the center of the upper circle. After that, I made a square so that the corner is the outer square's upper right corner and the upper circle's center. I found the diagonal, and added all the lines. The result is the formula for the outer square's diagonal, then we can use that to find r easily.
@Aaron-hv7pr
@Aaron-hv7pr 3 жыл бұрын
I basically just used the diagonal instead to solve for r. Since the circles have a diameter of 2r, they basically are able to fit the square below perfectly. This also means that using the isosceles right triangle rule, the entire diagonal is sqrt(2) and the small square diagonal is 2r*sqrt(2). Then the circle in between is 2r and the extra 1r from the top circle makes 3r. Then since the square and circle are same in length/diameter of 2r, the distance from the center to the corner is also the same. This is half the diagonal of the small square with length of 2r*sqrt(2). That means from the center of that circle to top right corner is r*sqrt(2). You combine like terms and set it equal to sqrt(2) which is the big square's diagonal length. So basically, 3r*sqrt(2) + 3r = sqrt(2). If solved correctly, r is the same as yours.

Notice too that the center of the top circle to the top right vertice of the big square makes another square of side r, i'll call it square r So you have Bottom square diagonal : r * 2 * sqrt(2) Middle circle diameter: r * 2 Top circle radius : r * 1 Square r diameter: r * sqrt(2) Just sum it all and it'll be the big square diameter : sqrt(2) You'll have then, after manipulating a little r = (2 - sqrt(2) )/3

Paused the video at the start and found this solution. A bit of a simpler way without having to draw the triangle in the middle would be to notice that the square's diagonal, plus 4 radii, plus a little bit extra at the top right, equals the diagonal of the whole square. In an equation, 2r√2 + 4r + x = √2, where x is the little line segment that goes from the top circle to the upper-right corner of the square. Fortunately, just doing another little triangle at the top right leads to a value of "x" of r(√2 -1). Solving for r becomes fairly simple to give the result you got at the end. A bit of a similar method, but just a different way of looking at it. Figured I'd give my solution just to get it out there. Btw, loving your abstract algebra playlist; as someone taking a second-semester abstract algebra course, they're becoming very useful to explain what my textbook/professor cannot. Cheers.

The same answer can be reached by finding the length of the diagonal of the outermost square. The missing bit in the top right can be put in terms of r by taking the difference between the radius of the circle there and half the diagonal of an imagined square in which the circle is inscribed. This gets us (starting from bottom left) -> 2root(2)r + 2r + 2r + (root(2)r - r) = root(2)

The construction of that first triangle assumes that its hypothenuse passes through the center of the leftmost circle. I think It would be possible, using an arbitrary value of r, to construct a similar shape where the left circle is not aligned with the other shapes; so do we assume that its center lies on the segment between the corner of the square and the center of the other circle, or is there really no way for it to be misaligned?

Diagonal of triangle is 2r*sqrt2, then the rest of the diagonal is 3r+rsqrt2, from making a traingle with sidelengths r and r for the last bit. So the total diagonal is also equal to sqrt2. so sqrt2=3r+3rsqrt2 --> sqrt2=r(3+3sqrt2) --> r= sqrt2/(3+3sqrt2) You can then simplify similarly to what you did.

A square of side length 1 has a diagonal of √2 (by Pythagorean squaring). A square of side length 2r has a diagonal of √8r, or 2√2r The small square at the top right tip (based on radius of the top small circle) has a diagonal of √2r. Total diagonal, therefore: √2 = 2√2r + 3r + √2r √2 = 3√2r + 3r = 3r + 3r√2 √2 = 3r(1 + √2) Inverting, to factor r. 3r = √2/(1 + √2); rationalize. r = ⅓(2-√2). r = 0.19526214587

The diagonal of the smaller square is 2sqrt(2)*r and from the center of the top circle to the top right corner is sqrt(2)*r. This means the entire diagonal of the larger square is (after simplifying) 3r + 3r*sqrt(2). But that's also equal to sqrt(2) but it's the diagonal of a square with side length 1. So set them equal to each other and solve for r. 3r*sqrt(2) + 3r = sqrt(2) 3r(sqrt(2) + 1) = sqrt(2) r=sqrt(2) / 3(sqrt(2) + 1) (This simplifies to the final answer)

Like other commenters, I did this by finding the big diagonal in terms of big side length (sqrt(2)) and in terms of r (4r+2r*sqrt(2)+r*(sqrt(2)-1)), and then solve for r. Finding that piece of the big diagonal not accounted for by small square or circles wasn't terrible. If you build a square around that top circle, it has side length 2r. Then, you find its diagonal (2r*sqrt(2)), subtract the part of that diagonal inside the circle (2r), and cut the difference in half. That expression simplified a bit, to r*(sqrt(2)-1). Now that we know every segment in the big diagonal, add them together and set the sum equal to sqrt(2). It's about this easy to solve for r, but also, I feel like I avoided invoking trigonometry.
@RexxSchneider

Or you could build a square with corners at the centre of the top circle and the top corner of the big square. That clearly has side r and so its diagonal is r √2. You now know that the centre of the top circle is r √2 from the top corner of the big square. Then you just have 3 radii and the diagonal of the square in the bottom left corner to add in order to make the main diagonal. I'm pretty certain summing along the main diagonal is more straightforward that summing along the side of the big square.

The diagonal of the lower left rectangle is 2sqrt(2)r, also by pythagorean's theorem. this gives: diagonal of large square = diagonal of lower left square + diameter of center circle + radius of upper-right circle + distance from center of upper-right circle to upper right corner sqrt(2) = 2sqrt(2)r + 2r + r + sqrt(2)r sqrt(2) = 3sqrt(2)r + 3r sqrt(2) = 3r ( sqrt[2] + 1) (1/3) (sqrt[2])/(sqrt[2] + 1) = r Which is the same result.

I thought in using the principal diagonal which is sqrt(2) = 2r*sqrt(2)+3r+r*sqrt(2) sqrt(2) = 3r*sqrt(2) + 3r sqrt(2) = 3r*(sqrt(2)+1) r = sqrt(2)/(3*(sqrt(2)+1)) r = 2/(3*(2+sqrt(2))) which obviously gives the same answer, but no trigonometry needed

Or just calculate the square root of (rr plus rr)+2r + square root of (2r sq+ 2rsq) = 1 only r in the equation! Coz u know both side of a right angle and r is the length of the small square and 2r is the larger one

Perhaps a simpler solution would be to note that the whole diagonal is √2 but is also the sum of the diagonal of the little square (2√2 r), the diameter of the first circle (2r), the radius of the second circle (r) and the diagonal of a square with side r (√2 r).

it can be resolved only using pythagorean theorem... the square inside has a diagonal of 2r*sqrt(2)... the middle circunference, we take de diameter to be 2r... the upper circunference we only take one radius r and consider the rest as the distant from the center to the diagonal and as we can make a square out of its tangent points the diagonal is just r*sqrt(2)... then we just add up all of that and we got that the diagonal is (3sqrt(2)+3)r... and as the large square has a diagonal of sqrt(2)... then (3sqrt(2)+3)r=sqrt(2) and by simply dividing both parts we end up with r=(2-sqrt(2))/3

Why can't we calculate it by moving the circles on the same level as the square and then make It (2r +2r+2r = 1) ? and then r = 1/6 which is almost equivalent to the answer you have found? @michaelPenn ?

Using the diagonals you get. Sqrt(2r^2+2r^2) + 3r + sqrt(r^2+r^2) = 4r + 3r + 2r = sqrt(1^2+1^2) = 9r = sqrt(2) so r = sqrt(2)/9

I used a very different and easier method. I noticed that we have a 90 degree triangle starting from the center of the upper circle moving right to the tangent between the circle and the square then move up to the corner of the square then back to the circle center. so r^2+r^2=(r+ the distance between the circle and the square corner)^2 that's the first relation the other one is simply the diagonal of the square. the rest is just Algebra.

Wait, how is that angle measure pi/4? In order to have pi/4 or a 45 degree angle in a right triangle, the two non-hypotenuse sides must be equal. The side he labels as x is at least 2r long, while the side opposite the angle must be less than 2r. The x side is longer, therefore the angle must be less than pi/4. Maybe I'm missing something or being mislead by how he drew it. Can anyone explain where I might be going wrong?

Can you find the general formula where s = side length of big square (s = 1 in example), kr = side length of small square (k = 2 in example) and c = number of circles (c = 2 in example) with rationalized denominator? What if k < 0, i.e. the bounds of the small square extend outside the bounds of the big square, with the circles extending far enough to coincide with the far corner of the small square? Then, suppose we take some combination of (s, k, c) (assume k > 0) and rearrange the shapes along the diagonal (adjusting r to fit) and/or add more small squares of varying side lengths. What other general formulas describe these situations? Hint: only two more need to be found to cover all scenarios - explain why!

My solution is just using pythagorean theorem, First is getting the diagonal of the small square by using Pythagorean theorem which is r(squaroot)(8) then the diameter of the center cirlce which is 2r , then add r, and lastly add the diagonal of both radius which is equal to r(squareroot)(2) all equal to the diagonal of the large square which is squareroot(2) Then shift solve; voila 0.19526

I got r = 0.18469 approximately, not sure what I got wrong, perhaps I assumed something that wasn't true in the problem. The length of the diagonal "d" in the smaller square at the bottom left is r*sqrt(8) using simple pythagoras, so d+r is the length of half the diagonal for the entire big square, but we also know that half the length of the big diagonal "D" is sqrt(2)/2 since each side is 1, aka 1^2 + 1^2 = D^2 so half of D is sqrt(2)/2, we can set these two equal to each other and solve for r: d + r = sqrt(2)/2 ( sqrt(8)*r ) + r = sqrt(2)/2 r * ( sqrt(8)+1 ) = sqrt(2)/2 r = sqrt(2) / ( 2*( sqrt(8)+1 ) ) ≈ 0.18469 but the real answer from this video should get us 0.19526

@RexxSchneider
@RexxSchneider 2 жыл бұрын
Yup. Michael Penn states that the centres are collinear with the main diagonal in his introduction. The collinearity of the tangent points follows through symmetry about the main diagonal. Of course, you could also reason that if the centre of the lower circle did not lie on the main diagonal, then r would not have an unique value.

Well just start summing the distance along the x axis. You have 2r, followed by 2*rcos(π/4) and followed by rcos(π/4)+r. This should sum to 1. Rest you can calculate. :)
