For reference: In the figure, find $\frac{r}{PH}$

My progress.

I found that the figure represents the Pappus chain.Pappus Chain

therefore :

The height $h_n$ of the center of the $n_th$ circle above the base diameter $ACB$ equals $n$ times $d_n$. $\therefore PH=4.2r \implies \frac{r}{PH}=\frac{r}{4r}=\frac{1}{4}$

Is this resolution correct? Is there another alternative for the resolution?
