(1) (7r)/327r32

Explanation:

I used a free online graphing calculator to duplicate the drawing:

![https://www.desmos.com/calculator](useruploads.socratic.org)

I used the equations:

(x-2)^2+(y-0)^2=2^2, y >=0(x2)2+(y0)2=22,y0 and (x-5)^2+(y-0)^2=2^2, y >=0(x5)2+(y0)2=22,y0

to obtain the 1:71:7 for C_1P_1:PQC1P1:PQ

By putting the radius of the small circle on an adjustable slider and making its center dependant on the radius, I discovered the equation:

(x-3.5)^2+(y-0.4375)^2=0.4375^2(x3.5)2+(y0.4375)2=0.43752

made the small circle be tangent at the three points.

From this information, we obtain the following ratio:

r_"small"/r_"large"= 0.4375/2rsmallrlarge=0.43752

Multiply by 16/161616

r_"small"/r_"large"= 7/32rsmallrlarge=732

r_"small" = (7r_"large")/32rsmall=7rlarge32

Please observe that the above equation describes the selection (1).

I know that this is not the geometric solution that you desire but you, now, know the correct answer and can work out a solution.

Explanation:

let PQ=7aPQ=7a
given C_1P_1:PQ=1:7, => C_1P_1=1aC1P1:PQ=1:7,C1P1=1a
let rr be the radius of the semicircle,
=> PQ=PC_1+C_1P_1+P_1C_2+C_2QPQ=PC1+C1P1+P1C2+C2Q
=> 7a=r+1a+r+r7a=r+1a+r+r
=> 3r=6a, => color(red)(r=2a)3r=6a,r=2a
=> C_1C_2=7a-2r=7a-4a=3aC1C2=7a2r=7a4a=3a
=> P_1P_2=3a-2a=a, => P_1A=P_2A=a/2P1P2=3a2a=a,P1A=P2A=a2, (symmetrical)
Let O and hOandh be the center and the radius of the small circle,
In DeltaC_1OA, " "C_1O^2=OA^2+C_1A^2
=> (r-h)^2=h^2+((3a)/2)^2
=> (2a-h)^2=h^2+((3a)/2)^2
=> 4a^2-4ah+h^2=h^2+9/4a^2
=> h=(4a^2-9/4a^2)/(4a)
=> h=(7/4a)/4=(7a)/16=(7r)/32
