The centers of two circles C_1and C_2 each of unit radius are
at a distance of 6 units from each other. Let P be the mid point of the

line segment joining the centers of C_1and C_2 be a circle touching

circles C_1and C_2 externally. If a common tangent to C_1and C

passing through P is also a common tangent to C_2 and C, then the

radius of the circle C is
