The minimum distance between any two points P1 and P2 while considering point P1 on one circle and point P2 on the other circle for the given circles' equations

x2+y2-10x-10y+41=0

x2+y2-24x-10y+160=0 is ________

Solution

Given C1(5,5), r1=3 and C2(12,5), r2=3

C1C2=7

Now, C1C2>r1+r2

Thus, P1P2min=7-6=1
