The circle centered at (2,-1) and with radius 4 intersects the circle centered at (2,-5) and with radius sqrt(10) at two points A and B. Find (AB)2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PR = 4         PQ = 4 - QR

 

(BP)2 - (PQ)2 = (BR)2 - (QR)2

 

42 - (4 - QR)2 = 10 - (QR)2

 

QR = 11/4          (PQ = 23/4)

 

AB = 2{sqrt[(BR)2 - (QR)2]}            

 

(AB)2 = 333/4
