Question : Two circles of radius 2.4 cm and 4 cm, respectively, have a common tangent. The distance between the centres of the two circles is 6.5 cm. If the common tangent does not intersect the line joining the centres, then find the length of a common tangent to the circles.

Question : Two circles of radii 9 cm and 4 cm, respectively, touch each other externally at point $A. PQ$ is the direct common tangent of those two circles of centres $O_1$ and $O_2$, respectively. The length of $PQ$ is equal to:

Question : 8 cm and 5 cm are the radii of two circles. If the distance between the centres of the two circles is 11 cm, then the length (in cm) of the common tangent of the two circles is:

Question : Two circles with centres A and B touch each other externally, PQ is a direct common tangent which touches the circle at P and Q. If the radii of the circles are 9 cm and 4 cm, respectively, then the length of PQ (in cm) is equal to:
