Nice problem! I took a general approach to get R for arbitrary half circles with radius r. It goes as follows: x² + R² = (r-R)² x² + R² = r² - 2rR + R² → x = √(r² - 2rR) y² + (r - R)² = (r + R)² y² + r² - 2rR + R² = r² + 2rR + R² y² = 4rR → y = 2√(rR) Now as y = r + x, we get 2√(rR) = r + √(r² - 2rR) 2√(rR) - r = √(r² - 2rR) 4rR - 4r√(rR) + r² = r² - 2rR 6rR = 4r√(rR) |r>0 (6/4)R = √(rR) (3/2)R = √(rR) |² (9/4)R² = rR |R>0 (9/4)R = r therefore R = 4r/9 In your case r = 18 (half of 36), so R = 4·18/9 = 8

The semicircle and the small circle share a tangent. This means that the two radiuses (radii?) are 1) parallel (both perpendicular to the same tangent) and 2) share a point (intersection with the tangent). If they are both parallel and share a point then they belong to the same line, they are collinear.

The straight part of the left semicircle is forming a tangent line across the leftmost point of the circle. By definition, any line drawn perpendicular to the tangent line at the point it touches a circle will pass through the centre of the circle, because the part of the circle that touches the line is parallel to the line. Been a while since i did geometry, but hope that helps at least get the broad strokes across, i think he explains it more in some of his other vids where he uses that principle, think he skimmed over it here due to the time constraint.

A line drawn from the center of a circle to its radius forms a right angle to a tangent line at any point on the circle. So two circles in contact (whether inside or outside) results in the same tangent line at the point of contact. Since the two lines from the two centers to the contact point form right angles at the contact point, both centers and the contact must be on a common straight line through the centers and the contact point.

Good question. The green circle and the large semicircle are touching on the edge. That means the green circle and the large semicircle have the same tangent line at that point. The black line Andy drew is perpendicular to this tangent line of both circles. Since the tangent line is the same among both circles, and the black line is drawn perpendicular to it, it will by definition extend through the center of both the green circle and large semicircle.

Good question , the answer may be above me , however with the algebra solution done , IMHO we can indulge in some reverse engineering abstractly . Notice that units are not mentioned , could be miles or meters , it does not matter , because everything in the problem exist as ratios . So R as 8 gives us the big circle diameter as a ratio of 38/8 to R or 4.5 R . This is after proof , but the answer also exists in terms of R , not solved numerically until we give some unknown an actual value . So that 4.5R diameter can be any one choice from a an infinite range . This includes zero as the scale of the figure zooms away towards zero. Zero is a funny one but it is somewhere .

While that works for solving this particular problem where we only want positive solutions, that won't always work. The way he did it gave us 2 solutions, 0 and 8. For this problem, 0 wasn't a valid solution, but there are lots of problems where you don't want to get rid of that solution. Be careful dividing by variables because that usually removes solutions.

4:16 How do you know that the red portion is half of 36?

He constructed the line from the centre of the semicircle to the centre of the green circle. Distance from the centre of the semicircle to the edge is the radius and so it is half of the diameter.

wen you got to 72R=9R^2 m first tougt was to just divide both sides by R, giving 72=9R, so R=72/9=8

im sorry, can you explain the part where we assume the radius of the large circle is on the same line as the radius as the smaller circle? for most cases this isn't true, so why is it true in this case?

If the circles are tangent (aka 'kissing circles') then it is _always_ true that the centres of the circles and the tangent point are colinear.

This may sound like philosophical bullshit, but your math videos actually help me cope with my executive dysfunction from ADHD - I "just" need to break down every task/problem into small enough parts that I can solve. Everything can be broken down into smaller steps and at some point the step is small enough for me to know the solution. Thank you :-)

How do you prove the hypotenuse is R+18? What if there's a small gap between radius R and semicircle?

If you look at the point of contact between the green circle and the 36circle's circumference, there can be a perpendicular radius of the green circle drawn there. There can also be a perpendicular radius of the 36circle that can be drawn, since both are perpendicular to the same point, they coincide. I got this after a while of thinking and my brain is now tired.
