Question
Consider two concentric circles having radii 17 cm and
15 cm. What is the length (in cm) of the chord, of the bigger circle, which is a tangent to the smaller circle?Solution
Given: Radius of circles r1= 15 cm r2= 17 cm Property of tangent - A tangent is perpendicular to the center of the circle. Property of chord - A perpendicular line drawn from the center of the circle to the chord of the circle always divide the chord in half. 
Applying the property of chord and tangent: We find that- 172 = 152+(x/2)2 289 = 225 +x2 /4 289 – 225 =x2 /4 x2 =256 x=16 Therefore, length of the chord = 16 cm.
