GeoGebra construction
Steps
- This process is also valid for the case that the contact of the circles is on the opposite side (further from the line g).
- We have circles c and d with centres A and C respectively, circle d touches circle c at point B from the inside. We have a line g which is perpendicular to the line joining the centres of the circles.
- Construct the line of centres f.
- Name the intersection of f and g by D.
- Construct the midpoint of the line |BD| and name it by S.
- Construct the circle e(S; |SB|), which is the solution
