Problem
The two circles pictured have the same center 
. Chord 
is tangent to the inner circle at 
, 
is 
, and chord has length 
. What is the area between the two circles?

Solution
Since 
is isosceles, 
bisects 
. Thus 
. From the Pythagorean Theorem, 
. Thus the area between the two circles is
Note: The length is necessary information, as this tells us the radius of the larger circle. The area of the annulus is 
.
