Triangle ABCABC is right-angled at AA, with AB=AC=5AB=AC=5.

Three circles have centres AA, BB and CC and radii rr, 2r2r and 2 r\sqrt2\,r, respectively, where r>0r>0.

Every point inside or on the boundary of triangle ABCABC is required to lie inside or on at least one of the three circles.

What is the least possible value of r2r^2?

A259\dfrac{25}{9}
B25(3−22)25(3-2\sqrt2)
C55
D254\dfrac{25}{4}
E252\dfrac{25}{2}
F2525
