We have two intersecting circles with centres at O and O’ respectively. Let PQ be the common chord.
∵ In two intersecting circles, the line joining their centres is perpendicular bisector of the common chord.
∴∠OLP = ∠OLQ = 90° and PL = LQ
Now, in right ∆OLP, we have
PL² + OL² = 2
⇒ PL² + (4 – x)2 = 52
⇒ PL² = 52 – (4 – x)2
⇒ PL² = 25 -16 – x2 + 8x
⇒ PL² = 9 – x2 + 8x …(i)
Again, in right ∆O’LP,
PL² = PO‘² – LO‘²
= 32 – x² = 9 – x² …(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
9 – x² + 8x = 9 – x²
⇒ 8x = 0
⇒ x = 0
⇒ L and O’ coincide.
∴ PQ is a diameter of the smaller circle.
⇒ PL = 3 cm
But PL = LQ
∴ LQ = 3 cm
∴ PQ = PL + LQ = 3cm + 3cm = 6cm
Thus, the required length of the common chord = 6 cm.
Therefore
The length of the common chord = 6cm.
