There is a set of triangles, in each of which the smallest angle does not exceed $36^o$ . A new one is formed from these triangles according to the following rule: the smallest side of the new one is equal to the sum of the smallest sides of these triangles, its middle side is equal to the sum of the middle sides, and the largest is the sum of the largest ones. Prove that the sine of the smallest angle of the resulting triangle is less than $2 \sin 18^o$ .

Two circles are said to be [i]orthogonal[/i] if they intersect in two points, and their tangents at either point of intersection are perpendicular. Two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ with radii $10$ and $13$, respectively, are externally tangent at point $P$. Another circle $\omega_3$ with radius $2\sqrt2$ passes through $P$ and is orthogonal to both $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$. A fourth circle $\omega_4$, orthogonal to $\omega_3$, is externally tangent to $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$. Compute the radius of $\omega_4$.
