both parabolas have the same shape.  due to symmetry, the center of red  circle lies at ((1/4), ((17)/(36))). say its radius  is r. then its equation is  (x−(1/4))^2 +(y−((17)/(36)))^2 =r^2 .  say it touches the parabola y=(1/4)−x^2   at (ξ, (1/4)−ξ^2 )  (ξ−(1/4))^2 +((1/4)−ξ^2 −((17)/(36)))^2 =r^2   (1/(2ξ))=(((1/4)−ξ^2 −((17)/(36)))/(ξ−(1/4)))  ξ^3 +((13ξ)/(18))−(1/8)=0  ξ=((((29(√(321)))/(3888))+(1/(16))))^(1/3) −((((29(√(321)))/(3888))−(1/(16))))^(1/3)
