External tangents are drawn on the same side of the two circles with centers at different points and are not intersecting.

External tangents are drawn on the same side of the two circles with centers at different points and are not intersecting. Correct Answer True

We can draw common tangents to two circles with different centers, and are not intersecting each other. Extern tangents are such tangents which are drawn on the same side of two circles.

Two circles touch each other at point X. Two common tangents of the circles meet at point P and none of the tangents passes through X. These tangents touch the larger circle at points B and C. If the radius of the larger circle is 15 cm and CP = 20 cm, then what is the radius (in cm) of the smaller circle?
A = Area of the largest circle drawn inside a square of side 1 cm. B = Sum of areas of 4 identical (largest possible) circles drawn inside a square of side 1 cm.

Which of the following is TRUE about A, B, C and D?
There is a square with four circles drawn such that the four corners of the square are the centers of the four circles. What is the ratio of the area of the square to the area enclosed between the circumferences of the circles? The radius of the circle is given as 7 units and the side of the square is equal to the diameter of the circles.
