Step 2 11.30am 12.20pm (50 Minutes)

Common Tangents: 1) Common tangents are equal of length PQ=RS

Teacher guides the students to: Determine the number of common tangents. b) Determine the properties of common tangent to two circles. c) Solving problems. a)

Students show on the whiteboard how to get the followings to the class using compass and ruler. a) Determine the number of common tangents.

Method: Student-Centered Strategy: 1) Experiment 2) Exploration Learning Aids:

2) The intersection point of the common tangent lies on the line joining the circles. ABT is a straight line.

b) Determine the properties of common tangent to two circles.
