To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \sin \left( \frac{\theta}{2} \right) + \cos \left( \frac{\theta}{2} \right) \) for two circles of radii 4 cm and 1 cm that touch each other externally. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Configuration**: - We have two circles: Circle A with radius \( R_1 = 4 \) cm and Circle B with radius \( R_2 = 1 \) cm. - The circles touch each other externally, meaning the distance between their centers is \( R_1 + R_2 = 4 + 1 = 5 \) cm. ...
