An isosceles triangle with base 6 cms. and base angles $30 ^ { \circ }$ each is inscribed in a circle. A second circle, which is situated outside the triangle, touches the first circle and also touches the base of the triangle at its midpoint. Find its radius.
Radius is $\frac { 3 \sqrt { 3 } } { 2 }$. Use trigonometry.
