Question

28. Given two circles whose centers are 17 inches apart. What is the length of the common internal tangent if the radii of the circles are 5 inches and 3 inches respectively?

Two-dimensional figure measured in terms of radius. It is formed by a set of points that are at a constant or fixed distance from a fixed point in the center of the plane. The parts of the circle are circumference, radius, diameter, chord, tangent, secant, arc of a circle, and segment in a circle.
