Problem

Let $T_1$ be an isosceles triangle with sides of length $8$, $11$, and $11$. Let $T_2$ be an isosceles triangle with sides of length $b$, $1$, and $1$. Suppose that the radius of the incircle of $T_1$ divided by the radius of the circumcircle of $T_1$ is equal to the radius of the incircle of $T_2$ divided by the radius of the circumcircle of $T_2$. Determine the largest possible value of $b$. Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
