Exercise 11a
Question 1.

A chord of length 16 cm is drawn in a circle of radius 10 cm. Find the distance of the chord from the center of the circle.


Answer:

Let AB be a chord of a circle with center O. OCAB, then


AB = 16 cm, and OA = 10 cm.



OCAB


Therefore,


OC bisects AB at C


AC = (1/2) AB


⇒ AC = (1/2) 16


⇒ AC = 8 cm


In triangle OAC,


OA2 = OC2 + AC2


⇒ 102 = OC2 + 82


⇒ 100 = OC2 + 64


⇒ OC2= 36


⇒ OC= 6



Question 2.

Find the length of a chord which is at a distance of 3 cm from the center of a circle of radius 5 cm.


Answer:


Let distance OC = 3 cm


Radius = OA = 5 cm


Draw OCAB


In triangle OCA,


OA2 = OC2 + AC2


⇒ 52 = 32 + AC2


⇒ AC2= 16


⇒ AC = 4 cm __________________ (i)


Now,


AB = 2 AC


⇒ AB = 8 cm [From equation (i)]


Hence, length of a chord = 8 cm.



Question 3.

A chord of a length 30 cm is drawn at a distance of 8 cm from the center of a circle. Find out the radius of the circle.


Answer:


Let distance OC = 8 cm


Chord AB = 30 cm


Draw OCAB


Therefore,


OC bisects AB at C


AC = (1/2) AB


⇒ AC = (1/2) 30


⇒ AC = 15 cm


In triangle OCA,


OA2 = OC2 + AC2


⇒ OA2 = 82 + 152


⇒ OA2= 64 + 225


⇒ OA2= 289


⇒ OA = 17 cm


Hence, radius of the circle = 17 cm.



Question 4.

In a circle of radius 5 cm, and are two parallel chords of lengths 8 cm and 6 cm respectively. calculate the distance between the chords if they are

(i) on the same side of the center

(ii) on the opposite sides of the center.


Answer:

(i)


Let radius OB = OD = 5 cm


Chord AB = 8 cm


Chord CD = 6 cm


BP = (1/2) AB


⇒ BP = (1/2) 8 = 4 cm


DQ = (1/2) CD


⇒ DQ = (1/2) 6 = 3 cm


In triangle OPB,


OP2 = OB2 - BP2


⇒ OP2 = 52 - 42


⇒ OP2= 25 - 16


⇒ OP2= 9


⇒ OP = 3 cm


In triangle OQD,


OQ2 = OD2 - DQ2


⇒ OQ2 = 52 - 32


⇒ OQ2= 25 - 9


⇒ OQ2= 16


⇒ OQ = 4 cm


Now,


PQ = OQ – OP = 4 – 3 = 1


Hence, distance between chords = 1 cm.


(ii)


Let radius OA = OC = 5 cm


Chord AB = 8 cm


Chord CD = 6 cm


AP = (1/2) AB


⇒ AP = (1/2) 8 = 4 cm


CQ = (1/2) CD


⇒ CQ = (1/2) 6 = 3 cm


In triangle OAP,


OP2 = OA2 - AP2


⇒ OP2 = 52 - 42


⇒ OP2= 25 - 16


⇒ OP2= 9


⇒ OP = 3 cm


In triangle OQD,


OQ2 = OC2 - CQ2


⇒ OQ2 = 52 - 32


⇒ OQ2= 25 - 9


⇒ OQ2= 16


⇒ OQ = 4 cm


Now,


PQ = OP + OQ = 3 + 4 = 7


Hence, distance between chords = 7 cm.



Question 5.

Two parallel chords of lengths 30 cm and 16cm are drawn on the opposite sides of the center of a circle of radius 17 cm. Find the distance between the chords.


Answer:

Let radius OA = OC = 17 cm


Chord AB = 30 cm and CD = 16 cm



Draw OL and OM


Therefore,


AP = (1/2) AB


⇒ AP = (1/2) 30 = 15 cm


CQ = (1/2) CD


⇒ CQ = (1/2) 16 = 8 cm


In triangle OAP,


OP2 = OA2 - AP2


⇒ OP2 = 172 - 152


⇒ OP2= 289 - 225


⇒ OP2= 64


⇒ OP = 8 cm


In triangle OQD,


OQ2 = OC2 - CQ2


⇒ OQ2 = 172 - 82


⇒ OQ2= 289 - 64


⇒ OQ2= 225


⇒ OQ = 15 cm


Now,


PQ = OP + OQ = 8 + 15 = 23


Hence, distance between chords = 23 cm.



Question 6.

In the given figure, the diameter of a circle with center is perpendicular to chord If and calculate the radius of the circle.



Answer:


Let radius OA = OC = OD = r


Chord AB = 12 cm


OE = OC – CE


⇒ OE = r – 3


AE = (1/2) AB


⇒ AE = (1/2) 12 = 6 cm


In triangle AOE,


OA2 = AE2 + OE2


⇒ r2 = 62 + (r - 3)2


⇒ r2 = 36 + r2 + 9 - 6r


⇒ 6r = 45


⇒ r = 7.5 cm


Hence, radius of circle = 7.5 cm.



Question 7.

In the given figure, a circle with center is given in which a diameter bisects the chord at a point such that and Find the radius of the circle.



Answer:

Let radius OA = OB = OD = r


DE = 8 cm


OE = OB – BE


⇒ OE = r – 4



In triangle ODE,


OD2 = DE2 + OE2


⇒ r2 = 82 + (r - 4)2


⇒ r2 = 64 + r2 + 16 - 8r


⇒ 8r = 80


⇒ r = 10 cm


Hence, radius of circle = 10 cm.



Question 8.

In the adjoining figure, is perpendicular to the chord of a circle with center If is a diameter, show that and



Answer:

Given ODAB


In triangle ABC,


D is the mid-point of AB


∴ AD = DB


O is the mid-point of BC


∴ OC = OB


We say, AC||OD


(1/2) AC = OD [Mid-point theorem in triangle ABC]


⇒ AC = 2 × OD Proved.



Question 9.

In the given figure, is the center of a circle in which chords and intersect at such that bisects Prove that



Answer:

Proof


In ΔOEP and ΔOFP,


∠OEP = ∠OFP [equal to 90°]


OP = OP [common]


∠OPE = ∠OPF [OP bisects ∠BPD]


Therefore,


ΔOEP = ΔOFP [By angle-side-angle]


∴ OE = OF


AB = CD [Chords are equidistant from the center]


Hence, AB = CD Proved.



Question 10.

Prove that the diameter of a circle perpendicular to one of the two parallel chords of a circle is perpendicular to the other and bisects it.



Answer:

∠PFD = ∠PEB [equal to 90°]


∴PFCD and OFCD


We know that the perpendicular from the center of a circle to chord, bisect the chord.


Therefore,


CF = FD Proved.



Question 11.

Prove that two different circles cannot intersect each other at more than two points.


Answer:

Let two different circles intersect at three distinct points A, B and C.


Then, these points are already non-collinear.


A unique circle can be drawn to pass through these points. This is a contradiction.


Hence, two different circles cannot intersect each other at more than two points.



Question 12.

Two circles of radii 10 cm and 8 cm intersect each other, and the length of the common chord is 12 cm. Find the distance between their centers.



Answer:

Let,


Radius OA = 10 cm and O’A = 8 cm


Chord AB = 12 cm


Now,


AD = (1/2) AB


⇒ AD = (1/2) 12 = 6 cm


In triangle OAD,


OD2 = OA2 - AD2


⇒ OD2 = 102 - 62


⇒ OD2= 100 - 36


⇒ OD2= 64


⇒ OD = 8 cm


In triangle O’AD,


O’D2 = O’A2 - AD2


⇒ O’D2 = 82 - 62


⇒ O’D2= 64 - 36


⇒ O’D2= 28


⇒ O’D = 2 √7 cm


Now,


OO’ = OD + O’D =


Hence, distance between their centers =



Question 13.

Two equal circles intersect in and A straight line through meets the circles in and Prove that



Answer:

Join PQ,


PQ is the common chord of both the circles.


Thus,


arc PCQ = arc PDQ


∴ ∠QAP = ∠QBP


∴ QA = QB Proved.



Question 14.

If a diameter of a circle bisects each of the two chords of a circle then prove that the chords are parallel.


Answer:

Let AB and CD are two chords of a circle with center O.


Diameter POQ bisect s them at L and M.



Then,


OLAB and OMCD


∴ ∠ALM = ∠LMD


∴ AB||CD [Alternate angles]



Question 15.

In the adjoining figure, two circles with centers at and and of radii 5 cm and 3 cm touch each other internally. If the perpendicular bisector of meets the bigger circle in and find the length of



Answer:


Join AP.


Let PQ intersect AB at L,


Then, AB = 5 – 3 = 2 cm


PQ is the perpendicular bisector of AB,


Then,


AL = (1/2) AB


⇒ AL = (1/2) 2 = 1 cm


In triangle APL,


PL2 = PA2 - AL2


⇒ PL2 = 52 - 12


⇒ PL2= 25 - 1


⇒ PL2= 24


⇒ PL = 2 √6 cm


Now,


PQ = 2 PL


⇒ PQ = 2 × 2 √6


⇒ PQ = 4 √6 cm



Question 16.

In the given figure, is a chord of a circle with center and is produced to such that Also, is joined and produced to meet the circle in If and prove that



Answer:

Given, OB = OC


Then, ∠BOC = ∠BCO = y°


External ∠OBA = ∠BOC + ∠BCO = (2y)°


Now,


OA = OB


Then, ∠OAB = ∠OBA = (2y)°


External ∠AOD = ∠OAC + ∠ACO


= ∠OAB + ∠BCO = (3y)°


∴ x° = (3y)°[Given ]



Question 17.

In the adjoining figure, is the center of a circle. If and are chords of the circle such that and prove that



Answer:

Given AB = AC


∴ (1/2)AB = (1/2)AC


OPAB and OQAC


∴ MB = NC


⇒ ∠PMB = ∠QNC [90°]


Equal chords are equidistant from the center.


⇒ OM = ON


OP = OQ


⇒ OP – OM = OQ – ON


⇒ PM = QN


∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔABC [By side-angle-side criterion of congruence]


∴ PB = QC Proved.



Question 18.

In the adjoining figure, is a diameter of a circle with center If and are two chord such that prove that



Answer:


Draw, OPAB and OQCD


In triangle OBP and triangle OQC,


∠OPB = ∠OQC [Angle = 90°]


∠OBP = ∠OCD [Alternate angle]


OB = OC [Radius]


By side-angle-side criterion of congruence


ΔOBP ≅ ΔOQC


∴ OP = OQ


The chords equidistant from the center are equal.


∴ AB = CD Proved.



Question 19.

An equilateral triangle of side 9 cm is inscribed in a circle. Find the radius of the circle.


Answer:


Let ABC be an equilateral triangle of side 9 cm.


And AD be one of its medians.


Then,


ADBC


BD = (1/2) BC


⇒ BD = (1/2) 9 = 4.5 cm


In triangle ADB,


AD2 = AB2 - BD2


⇒ AD2 = 92 – (9/2)2


⇒ AD2 = 81 – (81/4)


⇒ AD = (9√3)/2


In an equilateral triangle the centroid and circumcenter coincide and AO: OD = 2: 1


∴ radius AO = (2/3) AD


= (2/3) (9√3)/2


= 3√3 cm


Hence, radius of circle = 3√3 cm.



Question 20.

In the adjoining figure, and are two equal chords of a circle with center Show that lies on the bisector of



Answer:

In triangle OAB and triangle OAC,


AB = AC [Given]


OB = CO [Radius]


OA = OA [Common]


By side-side-side criterion of congruence


ΔOAB ≅ ΔOAC


∴ ∠OAB = ∠OAC Proved.



Question 21.

In the adjoining figure, is a square. A circle drawn with center cuts the suare in and Prove that



Answer:


In triangle OPX and triangle ORY,


OX = OY [Radius]


∠OPX = ∠ORY [Common]


OP = OR [Sides of square]


By side-angle-side criterion of congruence,


ΔOPX ≅ ΔORY

In triangle EBD,


∠DBE + ∠EDB + ∠BED = 180°


⇒ ∠DBE + 90° + 25° = 180°


⇒ ∠DBE + 115° = 180°


⇒ ∠DBE = 65°


Now,


∠DBC + ∠DBE = 180°[CBE is a straight line]


⇒ ∠DBC + 65° = 180°


⇒ ∠DBC = 115°


(ii)


∠DCB = ∠BAD [Angle in the same segment]


∴∠DCB = 35°


(iii) ∠BDC = 30°


In triangle BCD,


∠BDC + ∠DCB + ∠DBC = 180°


⇒ ∠BDC + 35° + 115° = 180°


⇒ ∠BDC + 150° = 180°


⇒ ∠BDC = 30°

The radius of a circle is 13 cm and the length of one of its chords is 10 cm. The distance of the chord from the centre is
A. 11.5 cm

B. 12 cm

C.

D. 23 cm


Answer:


Given radius(AO) = 13cm


Length of the chord (AB) = 10cm


Draw a perpendicular bisector from center to the chord and name it OC.


AC = BC = 5cm


Now in ∆ AOC,


Using Pythagoras theorem


AO2 = AC2 + OC2


132 = 52 + OC2


OC2 = 132 – 52


OC2 = 169 – 25


OC2 = 144


OC = 12cm


The distance of the chord from the centre is 12cm.


Question 2.

A chord is at a distance of 8 cm from the centre of a circle of radius 17 cm. The length of the chord is
A. 25 cm

B. 12.5 cm

C. 30 cm

Answer:


Given radius(AO) = 17cm


Length of the chord (AB) = x


distance of the chord from the centre is 8cm.


Draw a perpendicular bisector from center to the chord and name it OC.


AC = BC


Now in ∆ AOC


Using Pythagoras theorem


AO2 = AC2 + OC2


172 = AC2 + 82


AC2 = 172 – 82


AC2 = 289 – 64


AC2 = 225


AC = 15cm


BC = 15cm


The length of the chord is AC + BC = 15 + 15 = 30 cm.


Question 3.

In the given figure, BOC is a diameter of a circle and AB = AC. Then, ∠ABC = ?


A. 30o

B. 45o

C. 60o

D. 90o


Answer:

Given: BOC is the diameter of the circle


AB = AC


Here, BAC forms a semicircle.


We know that angle in a semicircle is always 90


BAC = 90


Here ABC = ACB (since angles opposite equal sides are equal in a triangle)


We know that sum of all the angles in the triangle is 180


That is


ABC + ACB + BAC = 180


⇒ 2 × ABC + BAC = 180


⇒ 2 × ABC + 90 = 180


⇒ 2 × ABC = 180 – 90


⇒ 2 ×ABC = 90


ABC = 45


Question 4.

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle and ∠ACB = 30°. Then, ∠AOB = ?


A. 30o

B. 15o

C. 60o

D. 90o


Answer:

Given:


We know that


2 × ACB = AOB (The angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle subtended by the same arc on any point on the remaining part of the circle).


2 × 30 = AOB


AOB = 60.


AOB = 60


Question 5.

B. 50o

C. 80o

D. 100o


Answer:

In Δ AOB OA = OB( radius)


OAB = OBA (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


OBA = 40


By angle sum property


OAB + OBA + AOB = 180°


AOB = 180° – OAB – OBA


AOB = 180° – 40° – 40° = 100°


We know that


2 ×ACB = AOB (The angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle subtended by the same arc on any point on the remaining part of the circle).


2 ×ACB = 100°


ACB =


ACB = 50


Question 6.

In the given figure, AOB is a diameter of a circle with centre O such that AB = 34 cm and CD is a chord of length 30 cm. Then, the distance of CD from AB is


A. 8 cm

B. 15 cm

C. 18 cm

D. 6 cm


Answer:

Given: AB 34 cm and CD = 30 cm


Here OL is the perpendicular bisector to CD


∴ CL = LD = 15 cm


Construction: Join OD(radius)


OD = 17cm


Now in Δ ODL


By Pythagoras theorem


OD2 = OL2 + LD2


172 = OL2 + 152


OL2 = 172 + 152


OL2 = 289—225


OL2 = 64


OL = 8


∴The distance of from is = OL = 8cm

∴ ∠ COD = 80°


Question 8.

In the given figure, CD is the diameter of a circle with centre O and CD is perpendicular to chord AB. If AB = 12 cm and CE = 3 cm, then radius of the circle is


A. 6 cm

B. 9 cm

C. 7.5 cm

D. 8 cm


Answer:

Given: AB = 12cm, CE = 3cm


AB = AE + EB


AE = EB (OC is perpendicular bisector to AB)


∴ AE = 6 cm


Let CD = 2x (diameter)


AO = OC = x (radius)


In Δ AOE


AO2 = AE2 + OE2


x2 = 62 + (OC – EC)2


x2 = 62 + (x – 3)2


x2 = 62 + x2 + 32 – 2(x)(3)


x2 = 36+ x2 + 9 – 6x


6x = 36+ 9 + x2 – x2


6x = 45


x = = 7.5


∴ Radius = x = 7.5 cm


Question 9.

D. 8 cm


Answer:

Given: CE = ED = 8 cm and EB = 4 cm


Construction: Join OC (OC is radius)


Let AB = 2x (diameter)


OB = OC = x (radius)


In Δ COE


CO2 = CE2 + OE2


x2 = 82 + (OB – EB)2


x2 = 82 + (x – 4)2


x2 = 82 + x2 + 42 – 2(x)(4)


x2 = 64+ x2 + 16 – 8x


8x = 64+ 16 + x2 – x2


8x = 80


x = = 10


∴ Radius = x = 10 cm

Answer:

Given: AB||CD and AB = 10cm


Construction: Drop perpendiculars OE and OF on to AB and CD respectively.


Now,


Consider ΔBOE and ΔCOF


Here,


OB = OC (radius)


∠OEB = ∠OFC (right angle)


∠COF = ∠BOE (vertically opposite angles)


∴ By AAS congruency ΔBOE ΔCOF


∴ OE = OF (by congruent parts of congruent triangles)


Chords equidistant from center are equal in length


That is CD = AB = 10cm


∴ CD = 10cm


Question 11.

In the given figure, AB is a chord of a circle with centre O and AB is produced to C such that BC = OB. Also, CO is joined and produced to meet the circle in D. If ∠AOC = 25° ∠ACD = 25°, then ∠AOD = ?


A. 50o

B. 75o

C. 90o

D. 100o


Answer:

Given: BC = OB and ∠ACD = 25°


Here in Δ OBC


∠BOC = ∠BCO (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


∴ ∠BOC = 25°


By angle sum property


∠BOC + ∠BCO + ∠OBC = 180°


25° + 25° + ∠OBC = 180°


50° + ∠OBC = 180°


∠OBC = 180° – 50°


∴ ∠OBC = 130°


Here


∠ABC = ∠ABO + ∠OBC = 180°


∠ABO + 130° = 180°


∠ABO = 180° – 130°


∴ ∠ABO = 50°


Now, in ΔAOB


OB = OA (radius)


∠ABO = ∠BAO = 50° (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


By angle sum property


∠ABO + ∠BAO + ∠AOB = 180°


50° + 50° + ∠AOB = 180°


∠AOB = 180° – (50° + 50°) = 180° – 100° = 80°


∴ ∠AOB = 80°


Here


∠DOC = ∠AOD + ∠AOB + ∠BOC = 180°


∠AOD + 80° + 25° = 180°


∠AOD + 105° = 180°


∠AOD = 180° – 105°


∠AOD = 75°


∴ ∠AOD = 75°

D. 7.5 cm


Answer:

Given: and OD = 6cm


Here OB is radius


Let OB = x cm


In ΔBOD, By Pythagoras theorem


OB2 = BD2 + OD2


x2 = BD2 + 62


x2 = BD2 + 36


BD2 = x2 – 36


Now consider Δ ABC


Here BC = 2x


By Pythagoras theorem


BC2 = AB2 + AC2


(2x)2 = 4(x2 – 36)+ AC2


4x2 = 4x2 –144 + AC2


AC2 = 144


AC = 12 cm


∴ AC = 12 cm

Area (ΔABC) = 3× area (ΔOBC)


= × 9 × OD


OD =


Now, in ΔODC


By Pythagoras theorem


OC2 = OD2 + DC2


OC2 = 2 + 2


OC2 = + = = 27


OC =

∠POQ= 2∠PBQ .... (2)

From (1) and (2),

∠PAQ = ∠PBQ

Hence proved

We know that ∠BAC = ∠BDC = 60° ( angles in the same segment drawn from same chord are


equal).


Now consider ΔBCD


By angle sum property


∠DBC + ∠BDC + ∠BCD = 180°


50° + 60° + ∠BCD = 180°


∠BCD = 180° – 50° – 60°


∠BCD = 70°

∠BCA + ∠BAC + ∠ABC = 180°


30° + 90° + ∠ABC = 180°


∠ABC = 180° – 30° – 90°


∠ABC = 60°


Here,


∠ABC = ∠ADC (angles in the same segment)

Now, by angle sum property


∠OAC + ∠OCA + ∠AOC = 180°


50° + 50° + ∠AOC = 180°


∠AOC = 180° – 50° – 50°


∠AOC = 80°


Now angle ∠BOD = ∠AOC = 80° (vertically opposite angles)


Now, consider ΔBOD


Here,


OB = OD (radius)


∠OBD = ∠ODB (angles opposite to equal angles are equal)


Let ∠ODB = x


By angle sum property


∠ODB + ∠OBD + ∠BOD = 180°


x + x + 80° = 180°


2x = 180° – 80°


2x = 100°


x = 50°


∴ ∠ODB = 50°

∠AOB + 20° + 20° = 180°


∠AOB = 180° – 20° – 20°


∠AOB = 140°


Similarly, in ΔAOC


OA = OC (radius)


∠OCA = ∠OAC = 30° (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


By angle sum property


∠AOC + ∠OCA + ∠OAC = 180°


∠AOC + 30° + 30° = 180°


∠AOC = 180° – 30° – 30°


∠AOC = 120°


Here,


∠CAB = ∠OAB + ∠OAC = 50°


Here,


2CAB = BOC (The angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle subtended by the same arc on any point on the remaining part of the circle).

2x = 80°


x = 40°


Similarly, in ΔAOC


OA = OC (radius)


Let ∠OCA = ∠OAC = y (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

∠AOB + 20° + 20° = 180°


∠AOB = 180° – 20° – 20°


∠AOB = 140°


Now, Consider Δ BOC


OC = OB (radius)


∠OCB = ∠OBC (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


∴ ∠ OBA = 50°


Now, by angle sum property

∠ABC = 60°


Here,


∠ACB = 90° (angle in semicircle)


Now, consider ΔABC


By angle sum property


∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°


∠BAC + 60° + 90° = 180°


∠BAC = 180° – 60° – 90°


∠BAC = 30°


Question 28.

Answer:

Given: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, AB||DC and ∠BAD = 100°


Here,


∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180° (opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)


100° + ∠BCD = 180°


∠BCD = 180° – 100°


∠BCD = 80°


Here, AB||DC and BC is the transversal


∠ABC + ∠BCD = 180° (interior angles along the transversal are supplementary)


∠ABC + 80° = 180°


∠ABC = 180° – 80° = 100°


∴ ∠ABC = 100°

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle and ∠AOC = 130°. Then, ∠ABC = ?


A. 50o

B. 65o

C. 115o

D. 130o


Answer:

Given: ∠AOC = 130°


Here,


(Exterior ∠AOC) = 360° – (interior ∠AOC)


(Exterior ∠AOC) = 360° – 130°


(Exterior ∠AOC) = 230°


We know that,


(Exterior ∠AOC) = 2 × ∠ABC


230° = 2 × ∠ABC


∠ABC = = 115°


∴ ∠ABC = 115°


Question 30.

B. 60o

C. 45o

D. 50o


Answer:

Given: CD||AB and ∠BAD = 30°


Consider ΔABD


∠ADB = 90° (angle in semicircle)


Now, by angle sum property


∠ABD + ∠BAD + ∠ADB = 180°


∠ABD + 30° + 90° = 180°


∠ABD = 180° – 30° – 90°


∠ABD = 60°


Here,


∠ABD + ∠ACD = 180° (opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)


60° + ∠ACD = 180°


∠BCD = 180° – 60°


∠BCD = 120°


Here, CD||AB and AC is the transversal


∠CAB + ∠ACD = 180° (interior angles along the transversal are supplementary)


∠CAB + 120° = 180°


∠ABC = 180° – 120° = 60°


∠ABC = 60°


∠ABC = ∠CAD + ∠DAB


60° = ∠CAD + 30°


∠CAD = 60° – 30° = 30°


∴ ∠CAD = 30°


Question 31.

Answer:

Given: ∠AOC = 100°


Here,


(Exterior ∠AOC) = 360° – (interior ∠AOC)


(Exterior ∠AOC) = 360° – 100°


(Exterior ∠AOC) = 260°


We know that,


(Exterior ∠AOC) = 2 × ∠ADC


260° = 2 × ∠ABC


∠ABC = = 130°


∴ ∠ABC = 130°


Here,


∠ABD = ∠ABC + ∠CBD


180° = 130° + ∠CBD


∠CBD = 180° – 130° = 50°


∴ ∠CBD = 50°

Answer:

Given: ∠OAB = 50°


Consider ΔAOB


Here,


OA = OB (radius)


∠OAB = ∠OBA = 50° (In a triangle, angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


By angle sum property


∠AOB + ∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180°


∠AOB + 50° + 50° = 180°


∠AOB = 180° – 50° – 50°


∠AOB = 80°


Here,


∠AOD = ∠AOB + ∠BOD


180° = 80° + ∠BOD


∠BOD = 180° – 80° = 100°


∴ ∠BOD = 100°


Question 33.

In the given figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which BC = CD and ∠CBD = 35°. Then, ∠BAD = ?

Answer:

Given: CB = CD and ∠CBD = 35°


Consider ΔBCD


Here,


CB = CD (given)


∠CBD = ∠CDB = 35° (In a triangle, angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


By angle sum property


∠BCD + ∠CBD + ∠CDB = 180°


∠BCD + 35° + 35° = 180°


∠BCD = 180° – 35° – 35° = 110°


We know that,


In a cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles are supplementary


∴ ∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180°


110° + ∠BAD = 180°


∠BAD = 180° – 110° = 70°


∴ ∠BAD = 70°

Answer:

Given: ΔABS is equilateral


In ΔABC


∠BAC = 60° (All angles in equilateral triangle are equal to 60°)


We know that,


In a cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles are supplementary


∴ ∠BAC + ∠BDC = 180°


60° + ∠BDC = 180°


∠BDC = 180° – 60° = 120°


∴ ∠BDC = 120°


Question 35.

In the given figure, sides AB and AD of quad. ABCD are produced to E and F respectively. If ∠CBE = 100°, then ∠CDF = ?


A. 100o

B. 80o

C. 130o

D. 90o


Answer:

Given: ∠CBE = 100°


Here,


∠ABE = ∠ABC + ∠CBE


180° = ∠ABC + 100°


∠ABC = 180° – 100° = 80°


We know that,


In a cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles are supplementary


∴ ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180°


80° + ∠ADC = 180°


∠ADC = 180° – 80° = 100°


Here,


∠ADF = ∠ADC + ∠CDF


180° = 100° + ∠CDF


∠CDF = 180° – 100° = 80°


∴ ∠CDF = 80°


Question 36.

Answer:

Given: ∠AOB = 140°


Here,


(Exterior ∠AOB) = 360° – (interior ∠AOB)


(Exterior ∠AOB) = 360° – 140°


(Exterior ∠AOB) = 220°


We know that,


(Exterior ∠AOB) = 2 × ∠ACB


220° = 2 × ∠ACB


∠ACB = = 110°


∴ ∠ACB = 110°


Question 37.

A. 50o

B. 65o

C. 115o

D. 155o


Answer:

Given: ∠AOB = 130°


Here,


(Exterior ∠AOB) = 360° – (interior ∠AOB)


(Exterior ∠AOB) = 360° – 130°


(Exterior ∠AOB) = 230°


We know that,


(Exterior ∠AOB) = 2 × ∠ACB


230° = 2 × ∠ACB


∠ACB = = 115°


∴ ∠ACB = 115°


Question 38.

In the given figure, ABCD and ABEF are two cyclic quadrilaterals. If ∠BCD = 110°, then ∠BEF = ?


A. 55o

B. 70o

D. 110o


Answer:

Given: ABCD, ABEF are two cyclic quadrilaterals and ∠BCD = 110°


In Quadrilateral ABCD


We know that,


In a cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles are supplementary


∴ ∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180°


110° + ∠BAD = 180°


∠BAD = 180° – 110° = 70°


Similarly in Quadrilateral ABEF


∴ ∠BAD + ∠BEF = 180°


70° + ∠BEF = 180°


∠BEF = 180° – 70° = 110°


∴ ∠BEF = 110°

B. 85o

C. 105o

D. 75o


Answer:

Given: is a cyclic quadrilateral, CF||AB, and


Here, CF|| AB


Hence BC is transversal


∴ ∠ABC = ∠BCF = 85° (Alternate interior angles)


Here,


∠DCB + ∠BCF + ∠ECF = ∠DCE


∠DCB + 85° + 20° = 180°


∠DCB = 180° – 85° – 20° = 75°


We know that,


In a cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles are supplementary


∴ ∠DCB + ∠BAD = 180°


75° + ∠BAD = 180°


∠BAD = 180° – 75° = 105°


∴ ∠BAD = 105°


Question 40.

Answer:

Given: AB = 11cm, BE = 3cm and DE = 3.5cm


Construction: Join AC


Here,


AE: CE = DE: BE


AE×BE = DE×CE


(AB + BE)×BE = DE×(CD + DE)


(11 + 3)×3 = 3.5×(CD + 3.5)


14×3 = 3.5×(CD + 3.5)


3.5×(CD + 3.5) = 42


(CD + 3.5) = = 12


CD = 12—3.5 = 8.5


∴ CD = 8.5


Question 41.

25 = 25


∴ ΔABP is right angled triangle


PQ = 2×BP


PQ = 2×3 = 6cm


∴PQ = 6cm


Question 42.

In the given figure, ∠AOB = 90° and ∠ABC = 30°. Then, ∠CAO = ?


A. 30o

B. 45o

C. 60o

D. 90o


Answer:

Given: and


Construction: join CD


We know that,


∠AOB = 2 × ∠ACB


90° = 2 × ∠ACB


∠ACB = = 45°


Similarly,


∠COA = 2 × ∠CBA


∠COA = 2 × 30


∠COA = 60°


Here,


∠COD + ∠COA = ∠AOD


∠COD + 60° = 180°


∠COD = 180° – 60° = 120°


Again


∠COD = 2 × ∠CAO


∠CAO = = 60°


∴∠CAO = 60°


Question 43.

Which is true?


A. I and II

B. I and III

C. II and III

D. II only


Answer:

Let us check for II statement



Construction: Let B and C be the centers of two circles having radii 10cm and 17 cm respectively and let AD be the common chord cutting BC at E.


Here,


AE = ED = 8cm


Now, in ΔABE


BE2 = AB2 – AE2


BE2 = (10)2 – (8)2


BE2 = 100– 64 = 36


BE = 6cm


Now, in ΔAEC


EC2 = AC2 – AE2


EC2 = (17)2 – (8)2


EC2 = 289– 64 = 225


EC = 25cm


Here,


BC = BE + EC = 6 + 15 = 21cm


But, it is given BC = 23cm


∴ Statement II is false

Question 46.

The question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). For selecting the correct answer:

A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

C. Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

D. Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.


Answer:


Assertion (A):


Construction: Draw a Δ ABC in which AB = AC, Let O be the midpoint of AB and with O as centre and OA as radius draw a circle, meeting BC at D


Now, In Δ ABD


∠ ADB = 90° (angle in semicircle)


Also, ∠ ADB + ∠ ADC = 180°


90° + ∠ ADC = 180°


∠ ADC = 180° – 90°


∠ ADC = 90°


Consider Δ ADB and Δ ADC


Here,


AB = AC (given)


AD = AD (common)


∠ ADB = ∠ ADC ( 90° )


∴ By SAS congruency, Δ ADB Δ ADC


So, BD = DC(C.P.C.T)


Thus, the given circle bisects the base. So, Assertion (A) is true


Reason (R) :


Let ∠ BAC be an angle in a semicircle with centre O and diameter BOC


Now, the angle subtended by arc BOC at the centre is ∠ BOC = 2× 90°


∠ BOC = 2× ∠ BAC = 2× 90°


So, ∠ BAC = 90° (right angle)


So, reason (R) is true


Clearly, reason (R) gives assertion (A)


Hence, correct choice is A


Question 47.

The question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). For selecting the correct answer:

A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

C. Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

D. Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.


Answer:


Assertion (A) :


Let O be the centre of the circle and AB be the chord


Construction: Draw, L is the midpoint of AB


Here,


OA = 10cm


AL = AB = 8cm


In ΔOAL,


OL2 = OA 2 – AL2


OL2 = (10)2 – (8) 2


OL2 = 100 – 64


OL = = 6cm


Thus, Assertion (A) is true.


Clearly, reason (R) given Assertion (A).


Hence, the correct choice is A.


Question 48.

The question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). For selecting the correct answer:

A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

C. Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

D. Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.


Answer:


Clearly, reason (R) is true.


Assertion (A) :


OA = 13cm


OL = 12cm


In ΔOAL,


AL2 = OA2 – OL2


AL2 = (13)2 – (12)2


AL2 = 169 – 144


OL = = 5cm


Now, AB = 2 × AL = 2 × 5 = 10cm


Thus, Assertion (A) is true


∴ Reason (R) and Assertion (A) are both true but reason (R) does not gives Assertion (A).


Hence, correct choice is B


Question 49.

The question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). For selecting the correct answer:

A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).

C. Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.

D. Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.


Answer:

Assertion (A) :


Here, in ΔABC


By angle sum property


∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠CAB = 180°


70° + 30° + ∠CAB = 180°


∠CAB = 180° – 70° – 30° = 80°


∠CAB = ∠BDC = 80° (angles in same segment)


But given that ∠BDC = 70°


∴ Assertion(A) is wrong.


Reason (R) :


∠ ADC = ∠ AOC = × 130° = 65°


∠ ABC + ∠ ADC = 180°


∠ ABC + 65° = 180°


∠ABC = 180° – 65° = 115°


Reason (R) is true


Assertion (A) :


∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠BAC = 180°


70° + 30° + ∠BAC = 180°


∠BAC = 180° – 70° – 30°


∠ BAC = 80°


∴ ∠BDC = ∠BAC = 80° (angles in the same segment)


This is false.


Thus, Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.


Hence, correct choice is D

∠POR + ∠OPR + ∠ORP = 180°


90° + 2×∠OPR = 180°


2×∠OPR = 180°—90°


2×∠OPR = 90°


∠OPR = 45°


Similarly in Δ POQ


∠OPQ = ∠OQP (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


By angle sum property


∠POQ + ∠OPQ + ∠OQP = 180°


110° + 2×∠OQP = 180°


2×∠OQP = 180°–110°


2×∠OQP = 70°


∠OQP = 35°


∠QPR = ∠QPO + ∠OPR = 45° + 35° = 80°

∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°


∠BAC + 50° + 90° = 180°


∠BAC = 180°–50°–90° = 40°

C. 60o

D. 90o


Answer:

Given: and


We know that,


∠AOB = 2× ∠ACB


∠AOB = ∠ACB


×90° = ∠ACB


∠ACB = 45°


Now, consider ΔABC


By angle sum property


∠ACB + ∠ABC + ∠CAB = 180°


45° + 30° + ∠CAB = 180°


∠CAB = 180° — 45° — 30° = 105°


Consider ΔAOB


Here,


OA = OB (radius)


Let OA = OB = x


By angle sum property


∠AOB + ∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180°


90° + x + x = 180°


2x = 180° – 90° = 90°


x = 45°


Now,


∠CAB = ∠BAO + ∠CAO = 105°


∠CAO = 105° – 45° = 60°


∴ ∠CAO = 60°


Question 3.

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle. If ∠OAB = 40°, then ∠ACB = ?


A. 40o

B. 50o

C. 60o

D. 70o


Answer:

Given: ∠OAB = 40°


Consider ΔAOB


Here,


OA = OB (radius)


∠OBA = ∠OAB = 40° (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


By angle sum property


∠OBA + ∠OAB + ∠AOB = 180°


40° + 40° + ∠AOB = 180°


∠AOB = 180° — 40° — 40° = 100°


We know that,


∠AOB = 2× ∠ACB


∠AOB = ∠ACB


×100° = ∠ACB


∠ACB = 50°


∴∠ACB = 50°


Question 4.

In the given figure, ∠DAB = 60° and ∠ABD = 50°, then ∠ACB = ?


A. 50o

B. 60o

C. 70o

D. 80o


Answer:

Given: ∠DAB = 60° and ∠ABD = 50°


In ΔABD


By angle sum property


∠DAB + ∠ABD + ∠ADB = 180°


60° + 50° + ∠ADB = 180°


110° + ∠ADB = 180°


∠ADB = 180° – 110° = 70°


Here,


∠ADB = ∠ACB = 70° (angles in same segment)


∴∠ACB = 70°


Question 5.

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle, BC is a diameter and ∠BAO = 60°. Then, ∠ADC = ?


A. 30o

B. 45o

C. 60o

D. 120o


Answer:

Given:


Consider ΔAOB


Here,


OA = OB (radius)


∠OBA = ∠OAB = 60° (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


By angle sum property


∠OBA + ∠OAB + ∠AOB = 180°


60° + 60° + ∠AOB = 180°


∠AOB = 180° — 60° — 60° = 60°


Here,


∠BOC = ∠BOA + ∠AOC = 180°


60° + ∠AOC = 180°


∠AOC = 180° – 60° = 120°


We know that,


∠AOC = 2× ∠ADC


∠AOC = ∠ADC


×120° = ∠ADC


∠ADC = 60°


∴∠ADC = 60°


Question 6.

Find the length of a chord which is at a distance of 9 cm from the centre of a circle of radius 15 cm.


Answer:


Given radius(AO) = 15cm


Length of the chord (AB) = x


distance of the chord from the centre is 9cm.


Draw a perpendicular bisector from center to the chord and name it OC.


AC = BC


Now in ∆ AOC


Using Pythagoras theorem


AO2 = AC2 + OC2


152 = AC2 + 92


AC2 = 152 – 92


AC2 = 225 – 81


AC2 = 144


AC = 12cm


BC = 12cm


The length of the chord is AC + BC = 12 + 12 = 24 cm.



Question 7.

Prove that equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre.


Answer:


Given: AB = CD


Construction: Drop perpendiculars OX and OY on to AB and CD respectively and join OA and OD.


Here, OX AB (perpendicular from center to chord divides it into two equal halves)


AX = BX = – – (1)


OY CD (perpendicular from center to chords divides it into equal halves


CY = DY = – – (2)


Now, given that


AB = CD


=


AX = DY (from –1 and –2 ) – – (3)


In ΔAOX and ΔDOY


∠OXA = ∠OYD (right angle)


OA = OD (radius)


AX = DY (from –3 )


∴ BY RHS congruency


ΔAOXΔDOY


OX = OY (by C.P.C.T)


Hence proved.



Question 8.

Prove that an angle in a semicircle is a right angle.


Answer:


We know that,


∠POQ = 2∠PAQ


= ∠PAQ


= ∠PAQ


90° = ∠PAQ


∠PAQ = 90°


Hence proved



Question 9.

Prove that a diameter is the largest chord in a circle.


Answer:

We know that,


A chord nearer to the center is longer than the chord which is far from the center


∴ Diameter is the longest chord in the circle (because it passes through the center and other chords are far from the center)



Question 10.

A circle with centre O is given in which ∠OBA = 30° and ∠OCA = 40°. Find ∠BOC.



Answer:

Given: and


Consider ΔOAB


Here,


OA = OB (radius)


∠OBA = ∠OAB = 30° (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


Similarly, in ΔAOC


OA = OC (radius)


∠OCA = ∠OAC = 40° (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


Here,


∠CAB = ∠OAB + ∠OAC = 30° + 40° = 70°


Here,


CAB = BOC (The angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice the angle subtended by the same arc on any point on the remaining part of the circle).


CAB = BOC


2×70° = BOC


BOC = 140°.


BOC = 140



Question 11.

In the given figure, AOC is a diameter of a circle with centre O and arc arc BYC. Find ∠BOC.



Answer:

Given: arc


Here,


2×AXB = BYC


∴ 2×∠AOB = ∠BOC


∠AOB = ∠BOC –1


Here,


∠AOC = ∠AOB + ∠BOC = 180°


∠BOC + ∠BOC = 180° (from –1)


∠BOC = 180°


∠BOC = ×180° = 120°




Question 12.

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle and ∠ABC = 45°. Prove that OA ⊥ OC.



Answer:

Given: ∠ABC = 45°


We know that ,


∠ AOC = 2×∠ABC


∠ AOC = 2×45 = 90°


∴ ∠AOC = 90°


Therefore


Hence proved.



Question 13.

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle, ∠ADC = 130° and chord BC = chord BE. Find ∠CBE.



Answer:

Given: ∠ADC = 130° , BC = BE


We know that,


(exterior ∠AFC ) = (2×∠ADC)


(exterior ∠AFC ) = (2×130)


(exterior ∠AFC ) = 260


∠AFC = 360° – (exterior ∠AFC) = 360°–260° = 100°


∠AFB = ∠AFC + ∠CFB = 180°


∠AFC + ∠CFB = 180°


100° + ∠CFB = 180°


∠CFB = 180° – 100° = 80°


In quadrilateral ABCD


∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180° (opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)


130° + ∠ABC = 180°


∠ABC = 180° – 130° = 50°


In ΔBCF


By angle sum property


∠CBF + ∠CFB + ∠BCF = 180°


50° + 80° + ∠BCF = 180°


∠BCF = 180° – 50° – 80° = 50°


Now,


∠CFE = ∠CFB + ∠BFE = 180°


∠CFB + ∠BFE = 180°


80° + ∠BFE = 180°


∠BFE = 180° – 80° = 100°


Here,


In ΔBCE


BC = BE (given)


∠BCE = ∠BEC = 50° (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


By angle sum property


∠BCE + ∠BEC + ∠CBE = 180°


50° + 50° + ∠CBE = 180°


∠CBE = 180° – 50° – 50° = 100°




Question 14.

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle, ∠ACB = 40°. Find ∠OAB.



Answer:

Given: ∠ACB = 40°


We know that ,


∠ AOB = 2×∠ACB


∠ AOB = 2×40 = 80°


∴ ∠AOB = 80°


In ΔAOB


OA = OB (radius)


∠OAB = ∠OBA (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


Let ∠OAB = ∠OBA = x


By angle sum property


∠AOB + ∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180°


80 + x + x = 180°


80 + 2x = 180°


2x = 180° – 80° = 100°


x = = 50°




Question 15.

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle, ∠OAB = 30° and ∠OCB = 55°. Find ∠BOC and ∠AOC.



Answer:

Given: and


Here,


In ΔAOB


OA = OB (radius)


∠OAB = ∠OBA (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


∴ ∠ OBA = 30°


Now, by angle sum property


∠AOB + ∠OBA + ∠OAB = 180°


∠AOB + 30° + 30° = 180°


∠AOB = 180° – 30° – 30°


∠AOB = 120°


Now, Consider Δ BOC


OC = OB (radius)


∠OCB = ∠OBC (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)


∴ ∠ OBA = 55°


Now, by angle sum property


∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180°


∠BOC + 55° + 55° = 180°


∠BOC = 180° – 55° – 55° = 70°


∴ ∠BOC = 70°


Here,


∠AOB = ∠AOC + ∠BOC


120° = ∠AOC + 70°


∠AOC = 120° – 70°


∠AOC = 50°


∴ ∠AOC = 50°




Question 16.

In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle, BD = OD and CD ⊥ AB. Find ∠CAB.



Answer:

Given: and


In ΔOBD


OB = OD = DB


∴ Δ OBD is equilateral


∴ ∠ODB = ∠DBO = ∠BOD = 60°


Consider ΔDEB and ∠BEC


Here,


BE = BE (common)


∠CEB = ∠DEB (right angle)


CE = DE ( OE is perpendicular bisector)


∴ By SAS congruency



ΔDEB ∠BEC


∴∠DEB = ∠EBC (C.P.C.T)


∴∠EBC = 60°


Now, in ΔABC


∠EBC = 60°


∠ACB = 90° (angle in semicircle)


By angle sum property


∠EBC + ∠ACB + ∠CAB = 180°


60° + 90° + ∠CAB = 180°


∠CAB = 180° – 60° – 90° = 30°


∴∠CAB = 30°



Question 17.

In the given figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. A circle passing through A and B meets AD and BC in the points E and F respectively. Prove that EF || DC.



Answer:

Here,


In cyclic Quadrilateral ABFE


∠ABF + ∠AEF = 180° (opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary) –1


In cyclic Quadrilateral ABCD


∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180° (opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary) –2


From –1 and –2


∠ABF + ∠AEF = ∠ABC + ∠ADC


∠AEF = ∠ADC (∠ABF = ∠ABC)


Since these are corresponding angles


We can say that EF || DC


∴ EF||DC


Hence proved.



Question 18.

In the given figure, AOB is a diameter of the circle and C, D, E are any three points on the semicircle. Find the value of ∠ACD + ∠BED.



Answer:


Construction: Join AE


Consider cyclic quadrilateral ACDEA


Here,


∠ACD + ∠DEA = 180° (opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)


Also,


∠AEB = 90° (angle in semicircle)


∴∠ACD + ∠DEA + ∠AEB = 180° + 90°


∠ACD + ∠BED = 270° (∠DEA + ∠AEB = ∠BED)


∴∠ACD + ∠BED = 270°


Hence proved.



Question 19.

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle and ∠BCO = 30°. Find x and y.



Answer:

Given:


In ΔEOC


By angle sum property


∠EOC + ∠OEC + ∠OCE = 180°


∠EOC + 90° + 30° = 180°


∠EOC = 180° – 90° – 30° = 60°


∠EOC = 60°


Here,


∠EOD = ∠EOC + ∠COD = 90°


∠EOC + ∠COD = 90°


60° + ∠COD = 90°


∠COD = 90° – 60° = 30°


Now,


∠ AOC = ∠AOD + ∠COD = 90° + 30° = 120°


We know that ,


∠ COD = 2×∠CBD


∠ COD = ∠CBD


∠CBD = × 120° = 60°


Consider ΔABE


By angle sum property


∠AEB + ∠ABE + ∠BAE = 180°


90° + 60° + ∠BAE = 180°


∠BAE = 180° – 90° – 60° = 30°


∴ x = 30°


We know that ,


∠ AOC = 2×∠ABC


∠ AOC = ∠ABC


∠ABC = × 30° = 15°


∴y = 15°




Question 20.

PQ and RQ are the chords of a circle equidistant from the centre. Prove that the diameter passing through Q bisects ∠PQR and ∠PSR.



Answer:

Given: chords PQ and RQ are equidistant from center.


Here consider ΔPQS and ΔRQS


Here,


QS = QS (common)


∠QPS = ∠QRS (right angle)


PQ = QS (chords equidistant from center are equal in length)


∴ By RHS congruency ΔPQS ΔRQS


∴ ∠RQS = ∠SQP and ∠RSQ = ∠QSP (by C.P.C.T)


Therefore we can say that diameter passing through Q bisects and



Question 21.

Prove that there is one and only one circle passing through three non – collinear points.


Answer:


Given: Three non collinear points P, Q and R


Construction: Join PQ and QR.


Draw perpendicular bisectors AB of PQ and CD of QR. Let the perpendicular bisectors intersect at the point O.


Now join OP, OQ and OR.


A circle is obtained passing through the points P, Q and R.


Proof:


We know that,


Every point on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment is equidistant from its ends


points.


Thus, OP = OQ (Since, O lies on the perpendicular bisector of PQ)


and OQ = OR. (Since, O lies on the perpendicular bisector of QR)


So, OP = OQ = OR.


Let OP = OQ = OR = r.


Now, draw a circle C(O, r) with O as centre and r as radius.


Then, circle C(O, r) passes through the points P, Q and R.


Next, we prove this circle is the only circle passing through the points P, Q and R.


If possible, suppose there is a another circle C(O′, t) which passes through the points P, Q, R.


Then, O′ will lie on the perpendicular bisectors AB and CD.


But O was the intersection point of the perpendicular bisectors AB and CD.


So, O ′ must coincide with the point O. (Since, two lines cannot intersect at more than one point)


As, O′P = t and OP = r; and O ′ coincides with O, we get t = r .


Therefore, C(O, r) and C(O, t) are congruent.


Thus, there is one and only one circle passing through three the given non – collinear points.



Question 22.

In the give figure, OPQR is a square. A circle drawn with centre O cuts the square in x and y. Prove that QX = XY.



Answer:

Construction: Join OX and OY


In Δ OPX and ΔORY,


OX = OY (radii of the same circle)


OP = OR (sides of the square)


∴ΔOPX Δ ORY (RHS rule)


∴ PX = RY (CPCT)—1


OPQR is a square


∴ PQ = RQ


∴ PX + QX = RY + QY


QX = QY (from –1)


Hence proved



Question 23.

In the given figure, AB and AC we two equal chords of a circle with centre O. Show that O lies on the bisectors of ∠BAC.



Answer:

Given: AB = AC


Construction: join OA, OB and OC


Proof:


Consider ΔAOB and ΔAOC


Here,


OC = OB (radius)


OA = OA (common)


AB = AC (given)


∴ By SSS congruency


ΔAOB ΔAOC


∴ ∠OAC = ∠OAB (by C.P.C.T)


Hence, we can say that OA is the bisector of ∠BAC, that is O lies on the bisector of ∠BAC.
