    Since the rectangle is 21 × 28, its diagonal is 35, making two 7× (3, 4, 5) triangles. Thus, the radius of the inscribed circles is 7 and the line segment AB is 7√5 units.

    As FC = DE = 21 = 3(7) and EF = CD = 28 = 4(7), ∆FCD and ∆DEF are 7:1 ratio 3-4-5 right triangles, and DF = 5(7) = 35. By observation, HC = CG = ME = EN = r. By two tangent theorem, GF = FP = ND = DQ = 21-r, and QF = FM = PD = DH = 28-r. FD = FP + PD 35 = (21-r) + (28-r) 35 = 49 - 2r 2r = 14 r = 7 Draw AT and TB, where AT is parallel with CD and TB is parallel with DE. Triangle ∆ATB: TB² + AT² = AB² (21-2(7))² + (28-2(7))² = AB² AB² = 7² + 14² = 49 + 196 AB = √245 = 7√5 Bit of a nitpick, but TB in the video was determined by observation as equal to r, when it should have been determined as being 21-2r. Both are forrect in this one case, but in the instance of a somilar problem where the ratio of r to the height of the rectangle is not 3, but close, someone who has seen this explanation might also "eyeball" that inner triangle height to be r as well, rather than determining it from the distances from the top and bottom of the rectangle.

NOTE: If we draw a Vertical Line dividing the Rectangle [CDEF] in two Equal Rectangles with Sides 21 and 14, one can see that this Line is Tangent to both Circles. And if we draw two Horizontal Lines passing the Centre of each Circles; point A and B, one can see that Line passing in Centre B is Tangent to the top of the other Circle, and the Line passing in Centre A is Tangent to the bottom of the other Circle. So: a) AB^2 = 7^2 + 14^2 ; AB^2 = 49 + 196 ; AB^2 = 245 ; AB = sqrt(245) ; AB = 7*sqrt(5) lin un V - Answer The Distance AB is equal to 7sqrt(5) Linear Units or approx. equal to 15,6525 Linear Units

    1/Let R be the radius of inscribed circle Because the FC=3x7, and CD=4x7 so FCD and FED are 3-4-5 triple so, to make the calculating simpler just consider them as 3-4-5 ones of which the radius r=R/7--->r= 1 ----> AT=2 and BT=1-----> sq AB= 4+1=5---> AB= sqrt5 2/ Answer: The distance AB in the given problem= 7sqrt5

    Radius of the yellow in circles of the two identical right triangle halves of the outer rectangle = 7 units, which can be calculated by the formula for the inradius of a triangle: 2*area/perimeter Then AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose sides are 21 - 2*7 = 7 and 28 - 2*7 = 14. Hence AB length = 7√5 by Pythagoras theorem

    At 6:51, when you extend GA to point T on vertical line through B, it turns out that BT is a radius, but this will not be true for all rectangles. T could be above or below bottom of circle. We really should go through the process of calculating BT in the same way we calculate AT. If S is point directly below T on line CD, then TS = AH = r, therefore BT = MS - MB - TS = 21-2r = 21-14 = 7. In this case, BT is indeed equal to r, but this will not always be the case.

    ... Happy Friday, My strategy ... I AB I = SQRT[ (28 - 2r)^2 + (21 - 2r)^2 ] ... so, we want to find the value of " r " ... Angle(GFP) = ARCTAN(4/3) deg. , so Angle(GFA) = 1/2 * ARCTAN(4/3) deg. & Triangle(FGA) is a right triangle, where I GA I = r and I FG I = 21 - r ... TAN(Angle(GFA) = I GA I / I FG I ... TAN(1/2 * ARCTAN(4/3)) = r / (21 - r) = 1/2 ... after a few basic algebraic steps .... r = 7 u. ... finally I AB I = SQRT[ (28 - 14)^2 + (21 - 14)^2 ] = SQRT(245) = 7*SQRT(5) u. ... thanking you as always for posting great geometric exercises together with clear and instructive strategy video's .... best regards, Jan-W

    Find the length of the diagonal DF. (21, 28, d) (7 * 3, 7 * 4, 7 * 5) d = 7 * 5 = 35 Draw radii AG, AH, AP, BM, BN, & BQ. By the Circle Theorem, ∠AGC, ∠AHC, ∠APF, ∠BME, ∠BNE, & ∠BQD are right angles. This forms squares AGCH & BMEN with side length r. Then, FG = 21 - r & DH = 28 - r. By the Two-Tangent Theorem, FP = 21 - r & DP = 28 - r. The aforementioned segments form the diagonal DF. (21 - r) + (28 - r) = 35 49 - 2r = 35 2r + 35 = 49 2r = 14 r = 7 The radius of the identical circles is 7 u. Extend segment GA to a point J on segment DE and segment MB to a point K on segment CD. They should be perpendicular to the sides of rectangle CDEF, to form two smaller rectangles that overlap each other. Label the intersection of segments GJ & KM as L. ∠ALB is a right angle by the Perpendicular Transversal Theorem. Since AG = JL = 7, AL = 14. And since BM = KL = 7, BL = 7. You could use the side lengths of rectangle CDEF. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem on △ALB. a² + b² = c² 14² + 7² = (AB)² 196 + 49 = (AB)² (AB)² = 245 AB = √245 = √(5 * 7 * 7) = 7√5 So, the length AB = 7√5 units (exact), or about 15.65 units (approximation).

    The diagonal of any rectangle divides the rectangle into 2 congruent right triangles, so any circles inscribed by the 3 sides of these 2 triangles must also be congruent.
