Let $S_1, S_2,$ and $S_3$ be three circles of unit radius which touch each other externally. The common tangents to each pair of circles are drawn and extended so that they intersect and form a triangle $ABC$ with circumradius $R$. Then $R$ is equal to

Let $AB$ be a chord of a circle and $C$ divides $AB$ internally in the ratio $3 : 1$. $A$ line through $C$ cuts the circle at $D$ and $E$ such that the minimum distances of $D$ and $E$ from line $AB$ are $3$ and $2$ respectively. If $r$ is the minimum length of $AB$ such that $\alpha$ is the angle between $AB$ and $DE$ for this $r$,then the value of '$r\alpha$' is
