Let a be the radius of the inscribed pink circle.


b = (a+7) units.


c = (7-a) units.


d = (a-2) units.


Calculating a.


It implies;


a ~ (a+7)

(a-2) ~ (7-a)


Cross Multiply.


a(7-a) = (a-2)(a+7)

7a-a² = a²+7a-2a-14

2a²-2a-14 = 0

a²-a-7 = 0

(a-½)² = (7)+(-½)²

(a-½)² = ¼(29)

a = ½±√(¼(29))

a = ½±½√(29)

It implies;

a ≠ ½(1-√(29))

a = ½(1+√(29))

a = 3.19258240357 units.

Again, a is the radius of the inscribed pink circle.


Recall.


b = (a+7) units.

And a = 3.19258240357 units.

b = 3.19258240357+7

b = 10.19258240357 units.


c = (7-a) units.

And a = 3.19258240357 units.

c = 7-3.19258240357

c = 3.80741759643 units.


d = (a-2) units.

And a = 3.19258240357 units.

d = 3.19258240357-2

d = 1.19258240357 units.


Therefore;


e² = a²-d²

e = √(3.19258240357²-1.19258240357²)

e = 2.96147422989 units.


f² = b²-c²

f = √(10.19258240357-3.80741759643)

f = 9.45475051495 units.


Therefore, the required length, length of the rectangle is, let it be g.


g = 2+e+f+7

g = 2+2.96147422989+9.45475051495+7

g = 21.4162247448 units.
