      Question

      Two circles have radii of 18 cm and 32 cm, and they touch

      each other externally. What is the length of a common tangent between them?
      A 22.5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 48 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 40 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20√2 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the length of the common tangent be ‘d’ cm

      Therefore, ‘d’ = 2 × √(r 1  × r 2 ) = 2 × √(18 × 32) = 2 × 24 = 48 cm
