Folks,

What does this basic geometry question have to do with game development?

It has to do with game development if the two circles being connected are a small section of a map and a larger zoomed view of the same map.

If you look at it the other way, I think most of the "game development" questions on this forum boil down to "basic geometry", "basic physics", etc. How is this question any different???

And I was concerned that you'd accuse me of asking about homework

there should be 4 different solutions to that problem.
Actually there''s 15 5 of which are unique (the other 10 are tangents with similar slopes to the 5).
