geometry - Numbers of circles around a circle

"When you draw a circle in a plane of radius 1 you can perfectly surround it with 6 other circles of the same radius."



BUT when you draw a circle in a plane of radius 1 and try to perfectly surround the central circle with 7 circles you have to change the radius of the surround circles.




How can I find the radius of the surround circles if I want to use more that 6 circles?



ex :
7 circles of radius 0.4



8 circles of radius 0.2
