ANSWER
Let C1,C2 be two circles of radius 13,12 respectively.
Let r1=13 cm and r2=12 cm
Draw a chord AB tangent to C2 at point P.
Join O−A and O−B
OP=12 cm ....... (Radius of smaller circle)
OA=OB=13 cm ....... (Radius of bigger circle)
AB is tangent to C2 and OP perpendicular AB
∴ ∠OPA=∠OPB=90o
Using Pythagoras theorem,
OA2=OP2+AP2
⟹AP2=OA2−OP2
⟹AP2=132−122=169−144=
