    This result is easily inferred from the result of Problem 1375 ( Antonio I await your publishing of my proof of this) according to which the difference of the radii of 2 opposite excircles is equal to h, the height of the altitude from B of isosceles Tr. ABC

    See sketch for positions of points H, P, Q
    Per the result of problem 1375 we have O3Q= r3 and O1P=r4
    So r3-r2= h= r1-r4 and r1+r2=r3+r4
