  2. perpendiculars to tangent points will give the solution

  3. We can use the well-known result of the length of common external tangent to two touching circles as being 4√(product of radii). If radii of the bottom three semi-circles are denoted as r1,r2 & r3 then (r2)^2 = r1*r3 by similar triangles. The second rung circles have radii of √(r1r2) and √(r2r3) which means radius of B is √√(r1r2)(r2r3) or √(r2(√r1r3))=√(r2r2)=r2=Radius of A.

  4. Typo - Please read: the length of common external tangent to two touching circles as being 2√(product of radii).

  6. The following can help:

    See the discussion, it is solved by Phytagoras:

    Now is |BC|=0 => Comman tangent line:
    TU^2=AB*CD
    TU^2=2r1*2r2, where r1 and r2 are radiuses
    TU^2=4r1r2
    TU=2Vr1r2
    Actually, TU is the geometric mean of the diameters (2r1 and 2r2).
    Hope this helps.
