Two circles of radii 5.5 cm and 3.3 cm respectively touch each other. What is the distance between their centers ?
पर्याय
4.4 cm
8.8 cm
2.2 cm
8.8 or 2.2 cm
उत्तर
The radii of the two circles are 5.5 cm and 3.3 cm.
If two circles touch each other externally, distance between their centres is equal to the sum of their radii.
∴ Distance between their centres = 5.5 cm + 3.3 cm = 8.8 cm
If two circles touch each other internally, distance between their centres is equal to the difference of their radii.
∴ Distance between their centres = 5.5 cm − 3.3 cm = 2.2 cm
Thus, the distance between their centres is 8.8 cm or 2.2 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 8.8 or 2.2 cm .

In the adjoining figure circles with centres X and Y touch each other at point Z. A secant passing through Z intersects the circles at points A and B respectively. Prove that, radius XA || radius YB. Fill in the blanks and complete the proof.
Construction: Draw segments XZ and YZ.
Proof:
By theorem of touching circles, points X, Z, Y are `square`.
∴ ∠XZA ≅ `square` ...(opposite angles)
Let ∠XZA = ∠BZY = a ...(I)
Now, seg XA ≅ seg XZ ...[Radii of the same circle]
∴∠XAZ = `square` = a ...[isosceles triangle theorem](II)
Similarly,
seg YB ≅ seg YZ ...[Radii of the same circle]
∴∠BZY = `square` = a ...[isosceles triangle theorem](III)
∴ from (I), (II), (III),
∠XAZ = `square`
∴ radius XA || radius YZ ...[`square`]
