The centres of two circles C(1) and C(2...

The centres of two circles `C_(1) and C_(2)` each of unit radius are at a distance of 6 unit from each other. Let P be the mid-point of the line segment joining the centres of `C_(1) and C_(2)` and C be a circle touching circles `C_(1) and C_(2)` externally. If a common tangent to `C_(1)` and C passing through P is also a common tangent to `C_(2)` and C, then the radius of the circle C, is

The centres of two circles C1 and C2 each of unit radius are at a distance of 6 units from each other. Let P be the mid point of the line segment joining the centres of C1 and C2 and C be a circle touching circles C1 and C2 externally. If a common tangent to C1 and C passing through P is also a common tangent to C2 and C, then the radius of the circle C is

Circles C_(1) and C_(2) of radii r and R respectively, touch each other as shown in the figure. The lime l, which is parallel to the line joining the centres of C_(2) and C_(2) is tangent to C_(1) at P and intersects C_(2) at A,B.If R^(2)=2r^(2) , then angleAOB equals-

Let C_(1) and C_(2) be externally tangent circles with radius 2 and 3 respectively.Let C_(1) and C_(2) both touch circle C_(3) internally at point A and B respectively.The tangents to C_(3) at A and B meet at T and TA=4, then radius of circle C_(3) is:

C_(1) and C_(2) are circle of unit radius with centers at (0,0) and (1,0), respectively,C_(3) is a circle of unit radius.It passes through the centers of the circles C_(1) and C_(2) and has its center above the x-axis.Find the equation of the common tangent to C_(1)andC_(3) which does not pass through C_(2).

If a circle C passing through (4,0) touches the circle x^(2)+y^(2)+4x-6y-12=0 externally at a point (1,-1), then the radius of the circle C is :
