Finding two diametres |$AC$| and |$AD$| where $B$ is the center of the larger one and both the circle touch...












0












$begingroup$



Two circle as shown in the figure, A is the tangent point of both the circle. B is the centre of the large circle. The distance of CD = 90 mm(according to estimation) and EF = 50 mm. What is the value of diametre of both the circle?






I couldn't catch the right process although I tried with some steps. But what I figured out wasn't so usefull at all. I need some help to solve the problem.



Thanks in advance.

          $AB = r$, $BC = r - 90$, $EB = r - 50$



          By power of a point,
          $$
          ABcdot BC = EB^2
          $$

          and from this equation $r$ can be found.
