Tangents are drawn from any point on the hyperbola $${{{x^2}} \over 9} - {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1$$ to the circle $${x^2} + {y^2} = 9$$.Find the locus of mid-point of the chord of contact.

Find the equation of the common tangent in $${1^{st}}$$ quadrant to the circle $${x^2} + {y^2} = 16$$ and the ellipse $${{{x^2}} \over {25}} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1$$. Also find the length of the intercept of the tangent between the coordinate axes.

The area of the triangle formed by intersection of a line parallel to $$x$$-axis and passing through $$P (h, k)$$ with the lines $$y = x $$ and $$x + y = 2$$ is $$4{h^2}$$. Find the locus of the point $$P$$.

Circles with radii 3, 4 and 5 touch each other externally. It P is the point of intersection of tangents to these circles at their points of contact, find the distance of P from the points of contact.
