Two unit circles are externally tangent at B. Let line AB and lineBC be diameters of the two circles. A tangent is drawn from A to the circle with diameter line BC, and a tangent is drawn from C to the circle with diameter AB so that the two tangent lines are parallel. Find the distance between the two lines of tangency

Thank you for the help! Hope you stay safe and have a nice day :)

We can use coordinates.  The equations of the lines are y = 1/3*(x + 2) and y = 1/3*(x - 2), and the distance between these lines is 2*sqrt(10)/5.
