    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
