- 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.arrow_forwardDoes a right circular cylinder such as an aluminum can have a symmetry with respect to at least one plane? b symmetry with respect to at least one line? c symmetry with respect to a point?arrow_forwardWould the theorem of Exercise 7 remain true for a concave quadrilateral like the one shown?arrow_forward
