Two circles of radii 4cm and 1cm touch each other externally and theta is the angle contained by their direct common tangents. Find sin θ.

Two circles with radii a and b touch each other externally such that theta is the angle between the direct common tangents, (a > bgeq2) . Then prove that theta=2sin^(-1)((a-b)/(a+b)) .

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
