Hello. Can you help me solve for these two questions for my homework 1. In Figure 8, each of the circles withcenters A, B, and C is tangent totheother two. If AB = 10,AC = 14and BC = 18, find the radius of eachcircle.AAFigure 8Figure 92. The radii of the two circles in Figure 9are 3 and 8, and the distance betweentheir centers are 13. Find the length oftheir common external tangent.
