3. In the circle with center Q, radii AQ and BQ form a right angle. The two smaller regions are tangent semicircles, as shown. The radius of the circle with center Q is 14 inches. What is the radius of the smaller semicircle? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Triangles ABC and ADC are under the same altitudes....so.....their bases are to each other as their areas...
So.....the base length of ABC is (7/10) of 210 cm = 147 cm = AB
