Tangents An external tangent of two circles
Draw on the whiteboard what you think an EXTERNAL tangent would look like KEYWORDS
Take the radius of the smaller circle KEYWORDS: External Radius
Add the smaller radius to the bigger circle KEYWORDS: External Radius
For external tangents always subtract the small circles radius from the bigger circles radius. This is so you are now constructing a tangent from a point to a circle KEYWORDS: External Radius
Now that the smaller circle has been reduced to a point, join that point to the centre of the new circle (same) KEYWORDS: External Radius
Bisect line that joins the point to the circle KEYWORDS: External Radius Bisect
Bisect line that joins the point to the circle KEYWORDS: External Radius Bisect
Bisect line that joins the point to the circle KEYWORDS: External Radius Bisect
Construct a semi-circle with the diameter from the centre of the circle to the point P KEYWORDS: External Diameter Radius Bisect
Always construct a triangle in the semi-circle with the diameter as the base and apex where the circle intersects the semi-circle. KEYWORDS: External Diameter Radius Bisect
