<h2>Answer:</h2>

B. 3

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

A tangent is a line that passes through exactly one point on a circle. For any point on a circle, the radius and tangent line through that point are always perpendicular to each other making a right angle. If two triangles touch each other externally, then there will be 3 lines making right angle with radius of the circles at the point of intersection of circle and tangents. These three tangent lines are shown below. They are the black, blue and green ones.

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image two circles such as circle A externally tangent to circle B. We are asked to find the number of possible common tangents to circles A and B.  

We know that tangent of a circle is a line that touches circle exactly at one place.

We can see both triangles touch each other externally. We know that maximum 3 common tangents can be drawn two two circles, when they touch each other externally.

Therefore, the answer of our given problem is 3 and option B is the correct choice.

Answer:

Circumference: 43.9822971503 or 43.98

Area: 153.9380400259 or 153.94

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically for the circumference you use C= d×π which means that the circumference is equal to the diameter (radius times 2) multiplied by pi! For the area you use the formula A= r^2×π which means the radius squared (radius times itself) multiplied by pi! By the way you can also round pi down to 3.14 to make it easier. Anyway I hope this helps!!

0.2(d-b)=0.3b+5-3+0.1d
Genrish500 [490]
0.2(d-b)=0.3b+5-3+0.1d 
you first distribute the 0.2 to the d and b in the parentheses, you'll then get
0.2d-0.2b=0.3b+5-3+0.1d
now you make sure that the b variables are with each other on the same side of the equal sign. so you subtract 0.3b from both sides to get 
0.2d-0.5b=5-3+0.1d
now do the same thing with the d variables so subtract 0.1d from both sides to get
0.1d-0.5b=5-3
now you can subtract 5-3 which is easy to get 
0.1d-0.5b=2
now you have to figure out what d and b equal. so i'll do b first. all you do is use the equation you have now and pretend that d is 0 so substitute the 0 in with the d variable to get
0.1(0)-0.5b=2
now you divide -0.5b from both sides to get
-0.5b/-0.5= b 2/-0.5= -4
so now you know b = -4
now you do sthe sane thing with b substitute with a 0 to get 
0.1d-0.5(0)=2
then divide 0.1d from both sides to get
0.1d/0.1=b 2/0.1=20
now you know d = 20 
( d=20, b=-4 )
