Number of solutions: ∞
GeoGebra construction
Steps
- Draw a line through the centres of the given circles.
- Draw the intersections on the side of the circles closer together. Draw the midpoint of these two points.
- Draw a hyperbola with foci at the centers of the given circles that passes through the center of the points from step 2.
- Draw the intersection of the line from step one on the far side of one circle. Use the point from step 2 on the other circle. Draw the midpoint between the two points.
- Draw a hyperbola with foci at the centers of the given circles that passes through the center of the points from step 4.
