      Question

      Find the length of the direct common tangent of two

      circles with radii 8 cm and 5 cm respectively, if the distance between their centres is 11 cm.
      A 2√7 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 5√7 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 4√7 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 17√7 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Direct common tangent = √[(distance between centres)Β² βˆ’ (difference of radii)Β²]

      = √[11Β² βˆ’ (8 βˆ’ 5)Β²]

      = √[121 βˆ’ 9] = √112 = 4√7 cm
