GIVEN: 2 Concentric circles with centre O. Radius OB of bigger circle = 10cm, Radius OD of smaller circle = 6cm.
EB is tangent to the inner circle at point D. So, OD is perpendicular to EB.( as tangent is perpendicular to the radius segment through the point of contact.)
Construction: Join AD & Join AE.
PROOF: In right triangle ODB
DB² = OB² — OD² ( by pythagoras law)
DB² = 10² — 6² = 100— 36 = 64
=> DB = √64
=> ED = √64( as perpendicular OD from the centre of the circle O, to a chord EB , bisects the chord)
Now in triangle AEB, angle AEB = 90°( as angle on a semi circle is a right angle).
And, OD // AE & OD = 1/2 AE ( as, segment joining rhe mid points of any 2 sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side & also half of it.
So, AE = 16cm
Now, in right triangle AED,
AD² = AE² + ED²
=> AD² = 16² + (8)²
=> AD² = 256 +64
=> AD² = 320
=> AD = √320= 17.89 cm
