circles
If the distance between the centers of two circles
then the two circles are tangent externally
is equal to the sum of their radii (d = r+r')
If the distance between the centers of two circles
then the two circles are tangent internally
is equal to the difference of their radii (d = r - r')

- The 3 medians in a triangle meet at one point called
centroid or center o gravity. This point trisects each
median (2/3 and 1/3).
- The 3 heights in a triangle meet at one point called
orthocenter.
- The 3 angle bisectors in a triangle meet at one point
called incenter. This point is equidistant from the
sides of the triangle and is the center of the incircle
Concurrency theorems:

- The 3  bisectors of the sides of a triangle meet at
one point called circumcenter. This point is
equidistant from the vertices of the triangle and is
the center of the circumcircle (the circle
circumscribed about the triangle).
In case of a right triangle, the circumcenter is the
midpoint of the hypotenuse.
