| Circle <math>C_1</math> and <math>C_2</math> each have radius <math>1</math>, and the distance between their centers is <math>\frac{1}{2}</math>. Circle <math>C_3</math> is the largest circle internally tangent to both <math>C_1</math> and <math>C_2</math>. Circle <math>C_4</math> is internally tangent to both <math>C_1</math> and <math>C_2</math> and externally tangent to <math>C_3</math>. What is the radius of <math>C_4</math>?

| Connect the centers of <math>C_1</math> and <math>C_4</math>, and the centers of <math>C_3</math> and <math>C_4</math>. Let the radius of <math>C_4</math> be <math>r</math>. Then, from the auxillary lines, we get <math>(\frac{1}{4})^2 + (\frac{3}{4}+r)^2 = (1-r)^2</math>. Solving, we get <math>r = \boxed{\frac{3}{28}}</math>
