TABLE OF CONTENTS

Part a. Step 1. Given information:

The figure is given.

Step 2. Concept use.

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

Step 3.  Applying the concept.    

Now, we apply our concept that is-

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

Given figure has two internal tangents as shown below.

Therefore, the answer is 2.

Part b. Step 1. Given information:

The figure is given.

Step 2. Concept use.

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

Step 3.  Applying the concept.    

Now, we apply our concept that is-

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

Given figure has two internal tangents as shown below.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

Part  c. Step 1. Given information:

The figure is given.

Step 2. Concept use.

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

Step 3.  Applying the concept.    

Now, we apply our concept that is-

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

Given figure has no internal tangents.

Therefore, the answer is 0.

Part  d. Step 1. Given information:

The figure is given.

Step 2. Concept use.

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

Step 3.  Applying the concept.    

Now, we apply our concept that is-

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

The figure has no internal tangents.

Therefore, the answer is 0.

Part e. Step 1. Given information:

Step 2. Concept use.

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

Step 3.  Applying the concept.    

Now, we apply our concept that is-

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

The figure has no internal tangents.

Therefore, the answer is 0.

Part f. Step 1. Given information:

The figure is given.

Step 2. Concept use.

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

Step 3.  Applying the concept.    

Now, we apply our concept that is-

A tangent is internal tangent if the intersection of tangent and line joining centres of two circles is empty.

The figure has no common tangent.

Therefore, the answer is 0.
