SOLUTION: Two concentric circles have diameters of 672 and 840. Find the length of a chord of the larger circle which is tangent to the smaller circle.

The radius of the smaller circle is 336,while the radius of the bigger circle is 420. The difference between the two (concentric) radii is 84. Hence the length of HALF the chord is to 3 decimal places. Multiply by 2 to get the whole length.
