प्रश्न
Two circles of radii 5.5 cm and 4.2 cm touch each other externally. Find the distance between their centres.
उत्तर
Let the two circles having centres P and R touch each other externally at point Q.
Here, PQ = 5.5 cm, QR = 4.2 cm
The two circles touch each other externally. ...(P−Q−R)
If the circles touch each other externally, distance between their centres is equal to the sum of their radii.
∴ By theorem of touching circles,
∴ PR = PQ + QR
∴ PR = 5.5 + 4.2
∴ PR = 9.7 cm
∴ The distance between the centres of the circles is 9.7 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`]
