If the common tangent to the parabolas y² = 4x and x² = 4y also touches the circle, x² + y² = c², then c is equal to
y² = 4x and x² = 4y
any tangent of y² = 4x is y = mx + 1/m
it also tangent for x² = 4y
1/m = -m² ⇒ m = -1
∴ common tangent is y = -x - 1, it also touches x² + y² = c²
∴ 1 = c² ⋅ (1+1) ⇒ c² = 1/2
