- Let O and O be concentric circles with radii 4 and 6, respectively. A chord AB is drawn in O with 1 2 1 length 2. Extend AB to intersect O in points C and D . Find CD . 2 √ Answer: 2 21 Let O be the common center of O and O , and let M be the midpoint of AB . 1 2 √ √ 2 2 Then OM ⊥ AB , so by the Pythagorean Theorem, OM = 4 − 1 = 15. Thus CD = 2 CM = √ √ 2 2 6 − 15 = 2 21.
