Two concentric circles of radii 5 cm and 3 cm are drawn. Find the length of the chord of the larger circle which touches the smaller circle.

AB = AF = 5cm radius of larger circle
AD = AC = 3cm radius of smaller circle
Pythagoras theorem
AF2 = AD2 + DF2
52 = 32 + DF2
252 = 92 + DF2
DF = 4 units
Length of chord = 2 × DF = 2 × 4 = 8cm
