The Book of Lemmas: Proposition 1
Main Concept
If two internally tangent circles touch at , and if , are parallel diameters in the circles (such that points in the same direction as ), then is a straight line. Alternately, if two externally tangent circles touch at , and if , are parallel diameters in the circles (such that points in the same direction as ), then is a straight line.
Adjust the sliders to change the radius of the inner circle and the angle of the diameters with respect to the horizontal axis. Also, drag the angles on the plot to change them.
