Problem Statement

MM is midpoint of BCBC.PP is an arbitary point on BCBC. C1C_{1} is tangent to big circle.Suppose radius of C1C_{1} is r1r_{1} Radius of C4C_{4} is equal to radius of C1C_{1} and C4C_{4} is tangent to BCBC at P. C2C_{2} and C3C_{3} are tangent to big circle and line BCBC and circle C4C_{4}. http://aycu01.webshots.com/image/4120/2005120338156776027_rs.jpg Prove : r1+r2+r3=Rr_{1}+r_{2}+r_{3}=R (RR radius of big circle)
