The radii of the circles are 7 and 11 cm. The distance between their centers is 19 cm. How are the circles located?

Given:
The radius of the first circle is 7 centimeters.
The radius of the second circle is 11 centimeters.
The distance between the centers of the circles is 19 centimeters.

Let’s find what the distance would be between the centers of the circles if the circles touched at one point:
7 + 11 = 18 centimeters.
Let’s find how many centimeters of the circle are removed from each other:
19 – 18 = 1 centimeter.
Answer: the circles are one centimeter apart.
