The centres of two circles C(1)andC(2) e...

The centres of two circles `C_(1)andC_(2)` 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 `C_(1)andC_(2)` and C be a circle touching circles `C_(1)andC_(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 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

Suppose that two circles C_(1) and C_(2) in a plane have no points in common. Then

Two circles, each of radius 5 units, touch each other at (1, 2). If the equation of their common tangents is 4x+3y=10 , find the equations of the circles.

lf 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 :-

The centres of the circles are (a, c) and (b, c) and their radical axis is y-axis. The radius of one of the circles is r. The radius of the other circle is

Consider circles C_(1) and C_(2) touching both the axes and passing through (4, 4), then the product of the radii of the two circles is

The number of common tangents to the circles one of which passes through the origin and cuts off intercepts 2 from each of the axes and the other circle has the segment joining the origin and the point (1, 1) as a diameter, is

The radical axis of two circles having centres at C_(1) and C_(2) and radii r_(1) and r_(2) is neither intersecting nor touching any of the circles, if

A circle C_(1) has radius 2 units and a circles C_(2) has radius 3 units. The distance between the centres of C_(1) and C_(2) is 7 units. If two points, one tangent to both circles and the other passing through the centre of both circles, intersect at point P which lies between the centers of C_(1) and C_(2) , then the distance between P and the centre of C_(1) is
