planned to travel nearby islands by ship. That time his son, Kunal
Observed that the outer frame of the ship looks like a geometrical figure that was
discussed in their Mathematics class, also he observed that it is a combination of
two parallelograms. When he told to his father; then his father drawn a rough
sketch of the ship with some given angles. In the following figure of a ship,
ABDH and CEFG are two parallelograms.

By taking the measurements of different parts of the Rangoli her friend made one
rough sketch of the Rangoli in a copy. Here ABCD and PQRS both are in the
shape of a rhombus. Find the radius of semicircle drawn on each side of rhombus
ABCD.
