The homothetic formula ''x''<sub>0</sub> = {{sfrac|''r''<sub>2</sub>''x''<sub>1</sub> + ''r''<sub>1</sub>''x''<sub>2</sub>|''r''<sub>1</sub> + ''r''<sub>2</sub>}} is used to locate the intersection of common tangents of two given circles. The new pitch between two successive existing pitches is determined by the homothetic centre of the two circles. | ||
