Assume that the center of the circles is the origin (0,0),
\n" ); document.write( "The outer circle is,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2By%5E2=6%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"x%5E2%2By%5E2=36\"
\n" ); document.write( "If we make a circle centered at the intersection of the 3 and 4 lines with a radius of 4, it would be,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B%28y-3%29%5E2=4%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"x%5E2%2B%28y%2B3%29%5E2=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "We can find the intersection of the outer circle and the new circle,
\n" ); document.write( "From 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=36-y%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting into 2,
\n" ); document.write( "\"36-y%5E2%2B%28y%2B3%29%5E2=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"36-y%5E2%2By%5E2%2B6y%2B9=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6y%2B45=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6y=-29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-29%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B%28-29%2F6%29%5E2=36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=36-%28-29%2F6%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=1296%2F36-841%2F36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=455%2F36\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-sqrt%28455%29%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "So now find the distance between (\"0\",\"-6\") and (\"-sqrt%28455%29%2F6\",\"-29%2F6\").
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%5E2=%28-sqrt%28455%29%2F6-0%29%5E2%2B%28-29%2F6-%28-6%29%29%5E2\"

\n" ); document.write( "\"D%5E2=504%2F36\"
