Question:medium
The centre of the circle whose radius is \( 5 \) and which touches the circle \( x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y - 20 = 0 \) at \( (5, 5) \) is:
The centre of the circle whose radius is \( 5 \) and which touches the circle \( x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y - 20 = 0 \) at \( (5, 5) \) is:
Show Hint
If two circles of the same radius touch externally, the point of contact is the midpoint of the line joining their centers.
