Question
In Exercises 11 to 22, sketch and describe each locus in the plane. Given that congruent circles O and P have radii of length 4 in. and that the line of centers has length 6 in., find the locus of points that are 1 in. from each circle.
Solution
The first step in solving 7 problem number 20 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Exercises 11 to 22, sketch and describe each locus in the plane. Given that congruent circles O and P have radii of length 4 in. and that the line of centers has length 6 in., find the locus of points that are 1 in. from each circle.
From the textbook chapter Locus and Concurrence you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
