Hi,
I'm trying to arrange a set of 9 circles into the largest circle I can.
Think of a necklace of circles. I'm trying to find the diameter of the largest circle that can be made from a set of circles.
The diameters of the individual circles are as follows: 18, 15,14,10,9,8,7,4, and 1.
I'd like to know if there is some kind of formula I can use to calculate this.. even though the number of individual circles, and their dimensions may vary.
I'm trying to make a sculpture, and having this information would be great.
Thanks
Wade
