Question 1024216: Let y be a circle with center A and radius of length r. Let y' be another Circle with center A' and radius of length r', and let d be the distance from A to A' (seeFigure3.43). There is a hypothesis about the numbers r, r', and d that ensures that the circles y and y' intersect in two distinct points. Figure out what this hypothesis is. (Hint: It's statement that certain
Numbers obtained from r, r', and d are less than certain others.)·
What hypothesis on r, r', and d ensures that y and y' intersect in only one point, i.e., that the circles are tangent to each other?(See Figure
3.44.)

Ensures that the circles intersect in two distinct points.



Ensures that the circles are tangent.
