The center of a circle of radius 2 inches is at a distance of 10 inches from the center of a circle of radius length 3 inches. To the nearest tenth of an inch, what is the approximate length of a common internal tangent? Use the hint provided in Exercise 38. HINT: use similar triangles to find OD and DP. Then apply the Pythagorean Theorem twice.
A jogger runs along two sides of an open rectangular lot. If the first side of the lot is 200 ft long and the diagonal distance across the lot is 400 ft, what is the measure of the angle formed by the 200-ft and 400-ft dimensions? To the nearest foot, how much farther does the jogger run by travelling the two sides of the block rather than the diagonal distance across the lot?
