A circle of radius r is the smallest circle that cuts both the circles x² + y² = 1 and x² + y² + 8x + 8y - 33 = 0 orthogonally. Find the value of r².

  1. 7
  2. 5
  3. 2
  4. 10

Correct answer: 7

Solution

The orthogonality conditions force C = 1 and G + F = -4. The radius is minimized when G = F = -2, giving r² = G² + F² - C = 4 + 4 - 1 = 7.
