Commented by Eulerian last updated on 17/Jan/23

what does d(O_1 , O_2 ) means?

$$\mathrm{what}\:\mathrm{does}\:{d}\left({O}_{\mathrm{1}} ,\:{O}_{\mathrm{2}} \right)\:\mathrm{means}? \\ $$

that means the "distance between O1 and O2"

It means the distance between the centers of the circle

When two circles are internally tangent,    the distance of the centers is R − r, if we    move the inner circle by a bit such that is not   tangent anymore, their centers are going   to be a bit closer, therefore d(O_1 , O_2 ) < R− r

$${When}\:{two}\:{circles}\:{are}\:{internally}\:{tangent},\: \\ $$$$\:{the}\:{distance}\:{of}\:{the}\:{centers}\:{is}\:{R}\:−\:{r},\:{if}\:{we}\: \\ $$$$\:{move}\:{the}\:{inner}\:{circle}\:{by}\:{a}\:{bit}\:{such}\:{that}\:{is}\:{not} \\ $$$$\:{tangent}\:{anymore},\:{their}\:{centers}\:{are}\:{going} \\ $$$$\:{to}\:{be}\:{a}\:{bit}\:{closer},\:{therefore}\:{d}\left({O}_{\mathrm{1}} ,\:{O}_{\mathrm{2}} \right)\:<\:{R}−\:{r} \\ $$$$\: \\ $$

 Intuitively, we know that   θ < 45°   ∴   tan θ < tan 45°         ((d(O_1 , O_2 ))/(R−r)) < 1        d(O_1 , O_2 ) < R−r      ■

$$\:\mathrm{Intuitively},\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{know}\:\mathrm{that} \\ $$$$\:\theta\:<\:\mathrm{45}° \\ $$$$\:\therefore\:\:\:\mathrm{tan}\:\theta\:<\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{45}° \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\frac{{d}\left({O}_{\mathrm{1}} ,\:{O}_{\mathrm{2}} \right)}{{R}−{r}}\:<\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:{d}\left({O}_{\mathrm{1}} ,\:{O}_{\mathrm{2}} \right)\:<\:{R}−{r}\:\:\:\:\:\:\blacksquare \\ $$

euler′s theorem:  d^2 =R^2 −2Rr  d^2 <R^2 −2Rr+r^2 =(R−r)^2   ⇒d<R−r

$${euler}'{s}\:{theorem}: \\ $$$${d}^{\mathrm{2}} ={R}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{Rr} \\ $$$${d}^{\mathrm{2}} <{R}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{Rr}+{r}^{\mathrm{2}} =\left({R}−{r}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{d}<{R}−{r} \\ $$
