Let $n \geq 3$ and let $C_1, C_2, \ldots, C_n$, be circles with radii $r_1, r_2, \ldots, r_n$, respectively. Assume that $C_i$ and $C_{i+1}$ touch externally for $1 \leq i \leq n-1$. It is also given that the $X$-axis and the line $y=2 \sqrt{2} x+10$ are tangential to each of the circles. Then, $r_1, r_2, \ldots, r_n$ are in
