Suppose that the area between a pair of concentric circles is 49pi. Find the length of a chord in the larger circle that is tangent to the smaller circle.

Of we call the two circles r and R, and the center O, draw the tangent and let P be where it touches circle r, and Q be where it intersects R.
Then the triangle OPQ is a right triangle with one leg r and the hypotenuse R. The other leg is thus sqrt(R^2-r^2)
But, pi*R^2 - pi*r^2 = 49pi.
So, R^2-r^2 = 49, and the length of the tangent chord is 14.
