:-
Let the two circles having centers P and Q touch each other internally at point R.
Here,
QR = 3.5 cm,
PR = 4.8 cm
The two circles touch each other internally.
∴ By theorem of touching circles,
P – Q – R PQ
= PR – QR
= 4.8 – 3.5
= 1.3 cm
[The distance between the centres of circles touching internally is equal to the difference in their radii]
:-
Radius of circle -
a straight line extending from the center of a circle or sphere to the circumference or surface:
The radius of a circle is half the diameter.
