The radii of two concentric circles are 6 cm and 10 cm respectively. Find the length of the chord of the bigger circle which is tangent to smaller circle.

From figure, There are two circles with center A and radius AE = 10 cm and AB = 6 cm. In △ABE, ⇒ AE 2 = AB 2 + BE 2 ⇒ 10 2 = 6 2 + BE 2 ⇒ 100 = 36 + BE 2 ⇒ BE 2 = 100 - 36 ⇒ BE 2 = 64 ⇒ BE = = 8 cm. We know that, The perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisect the chord. DE = 2BE = 2 × 8 = 16 cm. Hence, length of chord of bigger circle which is tangent to smaller circle = 16 cm.

The following table shows the marks obtained (out of 100) by different students of class X.
