it intersects the segment joining the centers of two circles
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.
They are the common tangents to the circles.
If the circles have the same radius then an infinite number, and if they do not, then none.
A common tangent is a line which is tangent to two (or more) curves.
From the definition of tangent, it can ONLY have one point in common called the tangent point.

You join the centres of the two circles. Divide this line in the ratio of the two radii. Draw the tangent from this point to either circle and extend it to touch the other circle.

Tangent, in geometry, is used to describe when figures have only one point in common. In Trig. tangent is applied to triangles.
Common Tangents Some common tangents of two circles can be drawn.You can find that the number of them varies by the condition of the distance and radii of two circles.Using the applet of Common Tangents, try to explore this relation to the common tangents. Using the applet of Common Tangents In this applet you can explore the number of common tangents, dragging to change the radii or to move the circles.The button of@"Init"@is for replacing the figure in the initial state.If you click the button of@"Auto",@the circles are moving automatically, and then you can enjoy their performance.
the length of thr direct common tangent will be 2*{1/2 power of (r1*r2)} the answer will be 8 units in this case...
They are circles that have a common centre
Concentric circles are circles with the same common centre.
tangent
If they have a common centre, they are concentriccircles.
