Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
Let $r$ denote the radius of circle $C_1$. Note that quadrilateral $ZYOX$ is cyclic. By Ptolemy's Theorem, we have $11XY=13r+7r$ and $XY=20r/11$. Let $t$ be the measure of angle $YOX$. Since $YO=OX=r$, the law of cosines on triangle $YOX$ gives us $\cos t =-79/121$. Again since $ZYOX$ is cyclic, the measure of angle $YZX=180-t$. We apply the law of cosines to triangle $ZYX$ so that $XY^2=7^2+13^2-2(7)(13)\cos(180-t)$. Since $\cos(180-t)=-\cos t=79/121$ we obtain $XY^2=12000/121$. But $XY^2=400r^2/121$ so that $r=\boxed{(E)\sqrt{30}}$.
设 $r$ 表示圆 $C_1$ 的半径。注意四边形 $ZYOX$ 是圆内接四边形。由托勒密定理,有 $11XY=13r+7r$,因此 $XY=20r/11$。设 $t$ 为角 $YOX$ 的度数。由于 $YO=OX=r$,在三角形 $YOX$ 上应用余弦定理得到 $\cos t =-79/121$。又因为 $ZYOX$ 是圆内接四边形,所以角 $YZX=180-t$。对三角形 $ZYX$ 应用余弦定理,得 $XY^2=7^2+13^2-2(7)(13)\cos(180-t)$。由于 $\cos(180-t)=-\cos t=79/121$,得到 $XY^2=12000/121$。但 $XY^2=400r^2/121$,所以 $r=\boxed{(E)\sqrt{30}}$。
