Answer:
YOUR ANSWER MATE- 8CM
Explanation:
Let O be the centre of the concentric circle of radii 5 cm and 3 cm respectively. Let AB be a chord of the larger circle touching the smaller circle at P.
Then
AP=PB and OP⊥AB
Applying Pythagoras theorem in △OPA, we have
OA2=OP2+AP2
⇒25=9+AP2
⇒AP2=16⇒AP=4 cm
∴AB=2AP=8 cm
