Sangaku Math [ ESSENTIAL ]

Distance between centers of (R) and (r) = (R + r) (external tangency): [ \sqrt{(d-R)^2 + (r-R)^2} = R + r ] Simplify: [ (d-R)^2 + (r-R)^2 = (R+r)^2 ] [ (d-R)^2 + R^2 - 2Rr + r^2 = R^2 + 2Rr + r^2 ] [ (d-R)^2 - 2Rr = 2Rr ] [ (d-R)^2 = 4Rr ] [ d - R = 2\sqrt{Rr} \quad (\text{positive since } d > R) ] [ d = R + 2\sqrt{Rr} ]

Interestingly, many Sangaku tablets contain theorems that were discovered independently in the West much later. sangaku math
