# If the same straight line is a tangent to two or more circles, then it is called a common tangent.
# If the same straight line is a tangent to two or more circles, then it is called a common tangent.
# If the centres of the circles lie on the same side of the common tangent, then the tangent is called a direct common tangent.
# If the centres of the circles lie on the same side of the common tangent, then the tangent is called a direct common tangent.

Note: In general,
The two circles are named as C1 and C2
The distance between the centre of two circles is 'd'
Radius of one circle is taken as 'R' and other as 'r'
The length of tangent is 't'
The teacher can explain the step by step construction of Direct common tangent and with an example.
