Circle A has a radius of 2 and a center of (6,5). Circle B has a radius of 3 and a center of (2,4). If circle B is translated by <1,1>, does it overlap circle A? If not, what is the minimum distance between points on both circles?

Explanation:
what we have to do here is compare the distance (d)
between the centres to the sum of the radii
∙ if sum of radii>d then circles overlap
∙ if sum of radii<d then no overlap
before calculating d we require to find the new centre
of B after the given translation
under the translation <1,1>
(2,4)→(2+1,4+1)→(3,5)←new centre of B
to calculate d use the distance formula
d=√(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
let (x1,y1)=(6,5) and (x2,y2)=(3,5)
d=√(3−6)2+(5−5)2=√9=3
sum of radii =2+3=5
since sum of radii>d then circles overlap
graph{((x-6)^2+(y-5)^2-4)((x-3)^2+(y-5)^2-9)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
The distance between the centers is
Explanation:
I thought I did this one already.
A is
B's new center is
Distance between centers,
Since the distance between the centers is less than the sum of the two radii, we have overlapping circles.
