alleryTwo centres are 5 cm apart; circles have radii 3 cm and 4 cm. How many points do they share?
ANo common points
BOne possible point
CThree common points
DTwo possible points
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Two possible points
The centre distance 5 is less than 3+4 and greater than 4-3, so the circles cross twice.
