What are two possible values for AC in the circle?












0












$begingroup$


Two radii of two concentric circles are $15$ and $7$. $AB$ is a diameter of the larger circle that intersects the smaller circle at $C$ and $D$. Find the two possible values for $AC$. (the questions has no image)



I think one is $8$. I can't figure out the other one.

    When you choose C and D, C can be closer to A or closer to B. If C is closer to A, the answer is 8, but if C e closer to B the answer is 22.
