Given: d1, d2 (d2 > d1) be the diameters of two concentric circles and C be the lengths of a chord of a circle which is tangent to the other circle.

To prove : d22 = d12 + c2
Since OQ and OR are radii of two circles with diameters d2 and d1 respectively,therefore,OQ=d22,OR=d12 and PQ = c.
Since PQ is the tangent to the circle,
therefore, OR is perpendicular to PQ.
⇒QR=PQ2=c2
Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔOQR, we have
OQ2 = QR2 + QR2
⇒(d22)2=(d12)2+(c2)2
⇒14(d2)2=14(d1)2+(c)2
⇒d22=d21+c2
Hence proved.
