Let R=the bigger inscribed circle radius.


Let r=the smaller inscribed circle radius.


It implies;


R+r=6√(3)-6=4.4 

R+r=4.4 -------(1).


And the radius of the ascribed semi circle is 6 unit.


Calculating the R and r considering the radius of the ascribed semi circle.


R=√((6-R)²-R²)

Therefore;

R=√(36-12R) ----- (2).


r=√((6-R)²-R²)

Therefore;

r=√(36-12r) ----- (3).


Adding (2) and (3).


R+r=√(36-12R)+√(36-12r)-----(4)


Therefore equating (1) and (4).


√(36-12R)+√(36-12r)=4.4------(5)


At (1).

R=4.4-r -------(6).


Substituting (6) in (5).


√(36-12(4.4-r))+√(36-12r)=4.4

Therefore;

4.4=√(36-52.8-12r)+√(36-12r)

4.4=√(12r-16.8)+√(36-12r)

4.4-√(12r-16.8)=√(36-12r)

(4.4-√(12r-16.8))²=36-12r

19.36-8.8√(12r-16.8)+12r-16.8=36-12r

2.56-8.8√(12r-16.8)=36-24r

24r-33.44=8.8√(12r-16.8)

(24r-33.44)²=8.8²(12r-16.8)

576r²-1605.12r+1118.23=929.28r-1301

576r²-2534.4r+2419.23=0


Using a quadratic equation app to resolve the above quadratic equation, it implies 


r≠2.99997

r=1.40003≈1.4 unit.


Calculating R, using (6).


R=4.4-r, and r=1.4

Therefore;

R=3 unit.


Length QO will be;


√((4.4)²+(3-1.4)²

=√(4.4²+1.6²)

=√(21.92)

QO = 4.68187996429 unit.
