How do you construct a transverse common tangent to two circles?

To construct a transverse common tangent to two circles, first draw a line connecting the centers of the two circles. Then, find the points where this line intersects the circles. From each intersection point, draw a line perpendicular to the line connecting the centers; these lines will intersect outside the circles. The lines connecting the intersection points of the tangents to the circles will form the transverse common tangents.
