Let $S$ be a circle with centre $O$. A chord $AB$, not a diameter, divides $S$ into two regions $R_1$ and $R_2$ such that $O$ belongs to $R_2$. Let $S_1$ be a circle with centre in $R_1$, touching $AB$ at $X$ and $S$ internally.

Dürer explains art history to his students. The following gothic window is examined.
Where the center of the arc of $BC$ is $A$, and similarly the center of the arc of $AC$ is $B$.
The question is how much is the radius of the circle (radius marked $r$ in the figure).[img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/5/c/28e5ee47005bfde7f925908b519099d5e28d91.png[/img]
