The radius of two circles are 3 cm and 4 cm. The distance between the circles is 10 cm. What is the ratio of the length of direct common tangent to the length of the transverse common tangent? |
$\sqrt{22}:\sqrt{15}$ $\sqrt{33}:\sqrt{17}$ $\sqrt{66}:\sqrt{17}$ $\sqrt{28}:\sqrt{17}$ |
$\sqrt{33}:\sqrt{17}$ |
Radius of first circle , r1 = 3 cm Radius of 2nd circle , r2 = 4 cm Distance between the centers = 10 cm Length of Direct common tangent : Length of Transverse common tangent \(\sqrt {d² - ( r2 - r1)² }\) : \(\sqrt { d² - ( r2 + r1)² }\) \(\sqrt {10² - (4 - 3)² }\) : \(\sqrt { 10² - ( 4 + 3)² }\) \(\sqrt {99 }\) : \(\sqrt { 51 }\) \(\sqrt {33 }\) : \(\sqrt { 17 }\) |
