To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning laid out in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem**: We have two concentric circles (circles with a common center). A chord of length 8 cm from the larger circle touches the smaller circle. The radius of the larger circle is given as 5 cm. We need to find the radius of the smaller circle. 2. **Draw the Diagram**: - Draw two concentric circles with a common center O. ...
