Transverse Common Tangents
A common tangent is called a transverse common tangent if the circles lie on opposite sides of it.
In the figure, WX is a transverse common tangent as the circle with centre O lies below it and the circle with P lie above it.
YZ is the other transverse common tangent as the circle with centre O lies above it and the circle with centre P lies below it. A transverse common tangent is possible only when the circles are apart.
