-Find the length of segment BC formed in the middle circle by a line that goes through point A and is
-tangent to the leftmost circle. The three circles in the
-figure all have radius one and their centers lie on the
-horizontal line. The leftmost and rightmost circles are
-tangent to the circle in the middle. Point A is at
-the rightmost intersection of the rightmost circle and the horizontal line.
