Problem
The number of points equidistant from a circle and two parallel tangents to the circle is:
Solution
The distance between the two parallel tangents is the length of the circle's diameter, so the distance from a point that satisfies the conditions and the two tangents is the length of the circle's radius. From the diagram, there are points that satisfies the conditions.
