Common Tangents: If a line is tangent to two circles in the same plane then the line is called the common tangent. If the two circles are on the same side of the tangent then it is called a direct tangent otherwise if the two circles are on the other side of tangent it is called an indirect tangent,
The number of common tangents for concentric circles is zero. | The number of common tangents for two circles touching internally is one. | The number of common tangents for two intersecting circles is two. |
The number of common tangents for two circles touching externally is three out of which two are direct tangent and the third is an indirect tangent. | The number of common tangents for two non intersecting and not touching circles is four. out of which two are direct and two are inditrect. |
Illustration: Two circles touch externally at P and a common tangent touches them at A and B. Prove that
(i) The common tangent at P bisects AB (ii) AB subtends a right angle at P
Solution : Let the common tangent at P touches the common tangent AB at T AT = PT (1) [ Length of tangent from point T are equal] BT= PT (2) [ Length of tangent from point T are equal] From (1) and (2) We get AT = BT Hence T bisects AB In APT (3) [ angle opposite equal sides are equal] In BPT (4) [ angle opposite equal sides are equal] adding (3) and (4) (5) In [ Angle sum property] [Using Eq (5) ]
Hence AB subtends angle of right angle at P |
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
