Radii of two circles are 6.3 cm and 3.6 cm. State the distance between their centers if -
they touch each other internally.
उत्तर
Radius of bigger circle = 6.3 cm
and of smaller circle = 3.6 cm
Two circles are touching each other at P internally. O and O’ are the centers of the circles. Join OP and O’P
OP = 6.3 cm, O’P = 3.6 cm
OO’ = OP - O’P = 6.3 - 3.6 = 2.7 cm

Two circles with centres O and O' touch each other at point L. Prove that, a tangent through L bisects the common tangent AB of the two circles at point M.
Given: AB is a common tangent of the two circles that touch each other at point L. ML is a tangent through point L.
To prove: M is a mid-point of the tangent AB or MA = MB.
Proof: From the figure,
M is an external point that draws two tangents, MA and ML to the circle with the centre O.
So, `square` = `square` ......(i)
Similarly, M draws two tangents ML and MB to the circle with the centre O'.
So, `square` = `square` ......(ii)
From the equations (i) and (ii),
`square` = `square`
Hence, the tangent at the point L, bisects the common tangent, AB of the two circles at point M.
