To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the configuration We have two circles with centers A and B. The radius of the larger circle (center A) is 5 cm, and the radius of the smaller circle (center B) is 3 cm. The circles touch each other internally. ### Step 2: Find the distance AB Since the circles touch each other internally, the distance between the centers A and B can be calculated as: \[ AB = OA - OB \] ...
