A ball of radius one is in a corner touching all three walls. Find the radius of the largest ball that can be fitted into the corner behind the given ball.

----------------------------------------------------

I have managed to figure out that the distance between the centre of the larger ball to the corner is [sqrt(3) - 1], but I don t know where to go from here...

Many thanks in advance :)
