Three points $A,B,C$ are such that $B\in AC$. On one side of $AC$, draw the three semicircles with diameters $AB,BC,CA$. The common interior tangent at $B$ to the first two semicircles meets the third circle $E$. Let $U,V$ be the points of contact of the common exterior tangent to the first two semicircles. Evaluate the ratio $R=\frac{[EUV]}{[EAC]}$ as a function of $r_{1} = \frac{AB}{2}$ and $r_2 = \frac{BC}{2}$, where $[X]$ denotes the area of polygon $X$.
