With the given circles the tangent will never meet the quadrant. You have to decide what is more important for your design, to have a true tangent or to meet a certain point. The tangent meeting point on the lower circle might also be defined by an angular position on the circle instead. In this case you could use Circle - 2 Points, Radius.

And I have just ruined my keyboard by spilling beer over it. Behaves erratically.
Writing this now with an ancient notebook kept as backup.

Good night.
