Solution
Radius of bigger circle = 6.3 cm
and of smaller circle = 3.6 cm
Two circles are touching each other at P externally. O and O ' are the centers of the circles. Join
OP and O'P
OP = 6.3 cm, O'P = 3.6 cm
Adding,
OP + O'P = 6.3 + 3.6 = 9.9 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
Radius of bigger circle = 6.3 cm
and of smaller circle = 3.6 cm
Two circles are touching each other at P externally. O and O ' are the centers of the circles. Join
OP and O'P
OP = 6.3 cm, O'P = 3.6 cm
Adding,
OP + O'P = 6.3 + 3.6 = 9.9 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
