Problem
In the figure below, semicircles with centers at 
and 
and with radii 2 and 1, respectively, are drawn in the interior of, and sharing bases with, a semicircle with diameter 
. The two smaller semicircles are externally tangent to each other and internally tangent to the largest semicircle. A circle centered at 
is drawn externally tangent to the two smaller semicircles and internally tangent to the largest semicircle. What is the radius of the circle centered at ?
