Problem
Two straight pipes (circular cylinders), with radii 
and 
, lie parallel and in contact on a flat floor. The figure below shows a head-on view. What is the sum of the possible radii of a third parallel pipe lying on the same floor and in contact with both?
[asy] size(6cm); draw(circle((0,1),1), linewidth(1.2)); draw((-1,0)--(1.25,0), linewidth(1.2)); draw(circle((1,1/4),1/4), linewidth(1.2)); [/asy]
