Onsider two concentric circles, one with radius r1 and the second with radius r2, where r1>r2. Suppose a line t is tangent to the circle with radius r1. How many points are in the intersection of t and the circle with radius r2

Answer:

0

Explanation:

A tangent line is a line that touches the circle's circumference at only one point.

Given two concentric circles one with radius
r_1 and the second with radius
r_2, and
r_1>r_2. SInce
r_2 is inside the smaller circle, there is no way it would intersect with the tangent line t.

Therefore, there are no points of intersection between the tangent line t and
r_2 .
