I'm trying to find the distance between the two black points in this diagram.
I know the radii, $R$ and $r$, of the circles, and I know the coordinates of the circles' centres.
Is the distance: $R +r-d$ where $d=$ the Pythagoras distance between the circles' centres?
(The black circles lie along the line between the two circles' centres, and on their perimeters)
