Let  m=tan2θ
    As the circles touch the x-axis. Hence, the equations of the circles becomes 
 (xh)2+(yr)2=r2......................(i)       
    And also we know,   r=htanθ
     And also  x=6,y=4 in equation (i).
 (6rtanθ)2+(4r)2=r236+r2tan2θ12rtanθ+16=0r212rtanθ+52tan2θ=0
    This is a quadratic equation where
   r1×r2=52tan2θ
    But atp 
 52tan2θ=523
 tan2θ=13tanθ13θ=π6m=tanπ3=3m2=3
