Check my answer please Given: Circle A externally tangent to Circle B. A common internal tangent is []line r []line s [X]segment AB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tell me how is segment AB a tangent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tangent is the one that touches one point of a circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Segment AB is tangent because the end points are the centers or points, of the circles A and B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well tangents are not suppose to be inside of the dircle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

circle*

wait im confused with line s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am only permitted to select one answer. Thats why i chose segment AB. And i am to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I believe line s is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So line S it is then. And thanks! i appreciate it. what would be the common external tangent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
