Tangent circles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, tangent circles (also known as kissing circles ) are circles that intersect in a single point. There are two types of tangency: internal and external. Many problems and constructions ...

; This is a graph of the 2 tangent circles (in green and red) to the 2 blue circles shown. The locus of the centers of these circles, as the point of tangency to the small circles changes, are shown by the 2 ellipses.

We are most interested in the locus of the centers of the tangent circles. In order to investigate this, we have looked at all the possibilities. Let's begin with externally tangent circles.

The figure below shows two circles, tangent to one another at point A. The diameters CD and EF are parallel. The objectives of this project are to: ... The figure below shows two circles tangent to one another at point A. The centers of the circles are points Oa and Ob, and the diameters CD and EF are parallel.
