Concentric circles are circles with a common center. The region between two concentric circles of different radii is called an annulus. Any two circles can be made concentric by inversion by picking the inversion center as one of the limiting points. Given an arbitrary chord BB^' to the larger of two concentric circles centered on O, the distance between inner and outer intersections is equal on both sides (AB=A^'B^'). To prove this, take the perpendicular to BB^' passing through O and crossing at P. By symmetry, it must be true that PA and PA^' are equal. Similarly, PB and PB^' must be equal. Therefore, PB-PA=AB equals PB^'-PA^'=A^'B^'. Incidentally, this is also true for homeoids, but the proof is nontrivial.
