Official Solution:
An yellow semicircle and its tangent blue quarter-circle are drawn in a square as shown above. If AB is tangent to both yellow semicircle and blue quarter-circle, what is the length of AB ?
A. \(10\)
B. \(12\)
C. \(14\)
D. \(16\)
E. \(18\)
Join the centers of the circles and the tangency points (recall that the radius of a circle is perpendicular to the tangent line). This would mean that CD is a straight line. Since CD equals to the radius of the semicircle plus the radius of the quarter circle, then \(CD = 6 + 12= 18\)
Draw line segment AE perpendicular to FD.
In a right triangle BGD, \(\angle BDG+\angle GBD =90°\).
In a right triangle CFD, \(\angle BDG+\angle DCF=90°\). So, \(\angle GBD=\angle DCF\).
In a right triangle ABE, \(\angle BAE+\angle GBD=90°\). So, \(\angle BAE=\angle BDG\).
So, two right tringles ABE and DCF are congruent: all angles are equal AND \(AE = DF = side \ of \ the \ square\). Therefore, the hypotenuses of these triangles must be equal: \(AB = CD = 18\)
