AB=10 CM

SO, half of AB=QC=5 CM

radius=CO=13 cm

so by applying pythagoras theorem,

OQ= $\sqrt{13^2-5^2}$

OQ= $\sqrt{169-25}$

OQ=12 cm

CD=24 CM

SO, half of CD=AP=12 CM

radius=AO=13 cm

so by applying pythagoras theorem,

OP= $\sqrt{13^2-12^2}$

OP= $\sqrt{169-144}$

OP=5 cm

ANSWER=(5+12)cm=17cm
