Problem 228: (2025 AMC 12a, 24)
A circle of radius $r$ is surrounded by $12$ circles of radius $1,$ externally tangent to the central circle and sequentially tangent to each other, as shown. Then $r$ can be written as $\sqrt a + \sqrt b + c,$ where $a, b, c$ are integers. What is $a+b+c?$ $\textbf{(A) } 3 \qquad$ $ \textbf{(B) } 5 \qquad$ $ \textbf{(C) } 7 \qquad$ $ \textbf{(D) } 9 \qquad$ $ \textbf{(E) } 11$
Solution
Exercise 228: Solution
Ten circles of radius $1$ are arranged in a ring so that each is tangent to the next, and all ten are internally tangent to a larger circle $\omega$. What is the radius of $\omega$?
