All three circles touch each other externally,

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad C_1 C_2=7 \\ & C_2 C_3=9 \text { and } C_3 C_1=8 \\ & \text { Also, } s=\frac{7+8+9}{2}=12 \end{aligned}}

\mathrm{\Delta=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}=\sqrt{12 \times 5 \times 3 \times 4}=12 \sqrt{5}}

\mathrm{r=\frac{\Delta}{s}=\frac{12 \sqrt{5}}{12}=\sqrt{5} \Rightarrow r^2=5}
