two circles touch each other internally then between their centres is 5cm, if they touch externally then the distance between their centres is 25. Find the radii of the circles. About the author Kaylee
Step-by-step explanation: Let a be the radiud of the first circle and b be the radius of the second so, when the two touch internally, a-b= 5(I) and when they touch externally, a+b=25(ii) so solving the two we get a=15 and b=10 Reply
Answer: Answer. Answer: Distance between their centres is 25 cm or 5 cm . By theorem of touching circles, the centres and point of contact are collinear Reply
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a be the radiud of the first circle
and b be the radius of the second
so, when the two touch internally,
a-b= 5(I)
and when they touch externally,
a+b=25(ii)
so solving the two we get
a=15 and b=10
