    Let the three tangent points of circle A2, start from A, anti-clockwise, be L, M, N.

    Let the three tangent points of circle B2, start from B, anti-clockwise, be P, Q, R

    Let the three tangent points of circle C2, start from C, anti-clockwise, be X, Y, Z.

    Then
    A2B2 = NP = NC1 + PC1 = MC1 + QC1
    B2C2 = RX = RA1 + XA1 = QA1 + YA1
    C2A2 = ZL = ZB1 + LB1 = MB1 + YB1

    Hence, the result follows.
