The answer is four. Wish I could draw a picture.
if you mean common tangents there can be only 2 tangents
Any tangent must contain a point outside the circle. So the answer to the question, as stated, is infinitely many. However, if the question was how many tangents to a circle can be drawn from a point outside the circle, the answer is two.
false
There are infinite circles which can be drawn with 2 defined points.. Because if we have 2 points then we can draw infinite equal intersecting lines in infinite directions, These intersecting lines are the radii of the circles. Like : we have 2 points You can draw infinite isosceles triangles as taking the line joining the points For example (activity) : we have 2 points A, B so let's join A and B which will make line AB and so let's take another point C and place that point in such a way that AC = AB and we observe that there are infinite points which can be placed in such a way like how we marked C. Now draw a circle with center C and radius A, we will observe that the circle also cuts through B and so as we have infinite points like C, so we can have infinite circles ..... And so we conclude that infinite circles with different radii can be drawn through two defined distant points ...
There would be an infinite number of rectangles possible
if you mean common tangents there can be only 2 tangents
Common external tangents and common internal tangents are two types of tangents that can be drawn between two circles. Common external tangents touch each circle at one point without intersecting the line segment joining the circles' centers, while common internal tangents intersect this line segment. The key difference lies in their geometric relationship to the circles: external tangents do not pass between the circles, whereas internal tangents do. Each type can be determined based on the relative positions and sizes of the circles involved.
4================Another opinion:I'll say only two.

Two tangents can be drawn from a point outside a circle to the circle. The answer for other curves depends on the curve.
An infinite amount
If the circles have the same radius then an infinite number, and if they do not, then none.
No tangent No tangent
Only one which is a tangent to that circle.
A compass.

Always one for sure, and never more than one.
