If the centres of two circles lie on opposite sides of a common tangent (with distinct points of contact), the tangent is—
If the centres of two circles lie on opposite sides of a common tangent (with distinct points of contact), the tangent is—
- adirect common tangent
- btransverse common tangent
- cparallel tangent
- dperpendicular bisector

When the two centres lie on opposite sides of the common tangent, the tangent passes between the circles, which is the defining property of a transverse (internal) common tangent. The distinct points of contact lie on either side of the crossing line.
