Problem

In the below figure, there are two concentric circles, with centre O and of radii 5 cm and 3 cm. From an external point P, tangents PA and PB are drawn to these circles. If AP = 12 cm, find the length of BP. ![Diagram showing two concentric circles centered at O. An external point P is shown. Tangents PA and PB are drawn from P to the circles, touching them at A and B respectively. PA is the tangent to the outer circle, and PB is the tangent to the inner circle.](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/homework-question-parsing/marker/20260106T182719Z/64c3a8d364554532b992eab50bdbd095/935eed7aa61f7777f62cfc032e11bee9_img.jpg)
