Hey mate ,

let r be 26 cm

and R be 10 cm

A is centre of both circles

AB perpendicular to DC

as radius from centre is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact

Thus In ∆ ABC

R^2 + BC ^2 = r^2

BC^2 = 26^2 - 10^2

BC^2 = 676-100

BC^2 = 576

BC = √576

BC = 24 cm

Similarly, DB = BC

Thus DC = 2BC

DC = 24×2

DC = 48 cm = Chord length

Hope you find it helpful!!!

Do mark it as brainliest!!!
