If the radius of both the circles are 5 cm, find the length of AB in the diagram shown below.

Open in App

Solution

Length AB = AP + PL + LM + MQ + QB

Radius AP = Radius PL [radii of the same circle]
Radius MQ = Radius QB [radii of the same circle]
Given that the radii of both the circles are same.
So, AP = PL = MQ = QB = 5 cm
Hence, Length AB = 5 + 5 + 15 + 5 + 5 = 35 cm
