Problem Statement

There are 3 lines r,sr, s and tt on a plane. The lines rr and ss intersect perpendicularly at point AA. the line tt intersects the line rr at point BB and the line ss at point CC. There exist exactly 4 circumferences on the plane that are simultaneously tangent to all those 3 lines.
Prove that the radius of one of those circumferences is equal to the sum of the radius of the other three circumferences.
