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 |
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.
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
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.
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
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.
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
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
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.
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.
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.
