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
