Externally tangent circles with centers at points and have radii of lengths and , respectively. A line externally tangent to both circles intersects ray at point . What is ?
Solution
Let and be the points of tangency on circles and with line . . Also, let . As and are right angles (a radius is perpendicular to a tangent line at the point of tangency) and both triangles share , . From this we can get a proportion.
