Length of internal common tangent of two circles (given distance between centers and radius)
Formula
L
length of internal common tangent
d
distance between centers of two circles
R
radius of one circle
r
radius of another circle
Formula description
A line that is tangent to two circles in the same plane is a common tangent. A common internal tangent is a common tangent that intersects the segment that joins the center of the two circles.
