Exercise 16.2
Question 1.

The radius of a circle is 8 cm and the length of one of its chords is 12 cm. Find the distance of the chord from the centre.


Answer:

Given that,

Radius of circle (OA) = 8 cm


Chord (AB) = 12 cm


Draw OC perpendicular to AB


We know that,


The perpendicular from centre to chord bisects the chord


Therefore,


AC = BC =


= 6 cm


Now,


In , by using Pythagoras theorem


AC2 + OC2 = OA2


62 + OC2 = 82


36 + OC2 = 64


OC2 = 64 – 36


OC2 = 28


OC = 5.291 cm




Question 2.

Find the length of a chord which is at a distance of 5 cm from the centre of a circle of radius 10 cm.


Answer:

Given that,

Distance (OC) = 5 cm


Radius of circle (OA) = 10 cm


In by using Pythagoras theorem


AC2 + OC2 = OA2


AC2 + 52 = 102


AC2 = 100 – 25


AC2 = 75


AC = 8.66 cm


We know that,


The perpendicular from centre to chord bisects the chord


Therefore,


AC = BC = 8.66 cm


Then,


Chord AB = 8.66 + 8.66


= 17.32 cm



Question 3.

Find the length of a chord which is at a distance of 4 cm from the centre of the circle of radius 6 cm.


Answer:

Radius of circle (OA) = 6 cm

Distance (OC) = 4 cm


In , by using Pythagoras theorem


AC2 + OC2 = OA2


AC2 + 42 = 62


AC2 = 36 – 16


AC2 = 20


AC = 4.47 cm


We know that,


The perpendicular distance from centre to chord bisects the chord


AC = BC = 4.47 cm


Then,


AB = 4.47 + 4.47


= 8.94 cm



Question 4.

Two chords AB, CD of lengths 5 cm, 11 cm respectively of a circle are parallel. If the distance between AB and CD is 3 cm, find the radius of the circle.


Answer:



Let r be the radius of the given circle and its center be O. Draw OM ⊥ AB and ON⊥ CD.

Since, OM perpendicular AB, ON perpendicular CD.

and AB||CD

Therefore, points M, O and N are collinear.

So, MN = 6cm

Let, OM = x cm.

Then,ON = (6 - x)cm.

Join OA and OC.

Then OA = OC = r

As the perpendicular from the centre to a chord of the circle bisects the chord.

∴ AM = BM = 1/2 AB

= 1/2 x 5

= 2.5cm

CN = DN = 1/2CD

= 1/2 x 11

= 5.5cm
In right triangles OAM and OCN, we have,

OA2 = OM2+ AM2and OC2= ON2 + CN2







From (i) and (ii), we have






⇒ 4x2 + 25 = 144 + 4x2- 48x + 121
⇒ 48x = 240
⇒ x = 240/48

⇒ x = 5
Putting the value of x in euation (i), we get
r2 = 52 + (5/2)2
⇒ r2 = 25 + 25/4
⇒ r2= 125/4
⇒ r = 5√5/2 cm



Question 5.

Give a method to find the centre of a given circle.


Answer:

Steps of construction:

(i) Take three points A, B and C on the given circle


(ii) Join AB and BC


(iii) Draw the perpendicular bisectors of chord AB and BC which intersect each other at O


(iv) Point O will be required circle because we know that perpendicular bisector of chord always passes through centre.




Question 6.

Prove that the line joining the mid-point of a chord to the centre of the circle passes through the mid-point of the corresponding minor arc.


Answer:



Given that,

C is the mid-point of chord AB


To prove: D is the mid-point of arc AB


Proof: In


OA = OB (Radius of circle)


AC = OC (Common)


AC = BC (C is the mid-point of AB)


Then,


(By SSS congruence rule)


∠AOC = ∠BOC (By c.p.c.t)


m (A) = m (B)


A B


Here, D is the mid-point of arc AB.


Question 7.

Prove that a diameter of a circle which bisects a chord of the circle also bisects the angle subtended by the chord at the centre of the circle.


Answer:

Given that,

PQ is a diameter of circle which bisects chord AB to C


To prove: PQ bisects ∠AOB


Proof: In ,


OA = OB (Radius of circle)


OC = OC (Common)


AC = BC (Given)


Then,


(By SSS congruence rule)


∠AOC = ∠BOC (By c.p.c.t)


Hence, PQ bisects ∠AOB.



Question 8.

Given an arc of a circle, show how to complete the circle.


Answer:

Steps of construction:

(i) Take three points A, B and C on the given arc


(ii) Join AB and BC


(iii) Draw the perpendicular bisectors of chord AB and BC which intersect each other at point O. Then, O will be the required centre of the required circle.


(iv) Join OA


(v) With centre O and radius OA, complete the circle




Question 9.

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


Answer:

Suppose two circles intersect in three points A, B and C. Then A, B, C are non-collinear. So, a unique circle passes through these three points. This is contradiction to the face that two given circles are passing through A, B, C. Hence, two circles cannot intersect each other at more than two points.



Question 10.

A line segment AB is length 5 cm. Draw a circle of radius 4 cm passing through A and B. Can you draw a circle of radius 2 cm passing through A and B? Give reason in support of your answer.


Answer:

(i) Draw a line segment AB of 5 cm

(ii) Draw the perpendicular bisector of AB


(iii) With centre A and radius of 4 cm draw an arc which intersects the perpendicular bisector at point O. O will be the required centre.


(iv) Join OA


(v) With centre O and radius OA draw a circle.


No, we cannot draw a circle of radius 2 cm passing through A and B because when we draw an arc of radius 2 cm with centre A, the arc will not intersect the perpendicular bisector and we will not find the centre.




Question 11.

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

Let, AD be one of its medians and G be the centroids of the triangle ABC


Then,


AG: GD = 2: 1


We know that,


In an equilateral triangle centroid coincides with the circumcentre


Therefore,


G is the centre of the circumference with circum radius GA


Also, G is the centre and GD is perpendicular to BC


Therefore,


In right triangle ADB, we have


AB2 = AD2 + DB2


92 = AD2 + DB2


AD = cm


Therefore,


Radius = AG = AD


= 3 cm



Question 12.

Given an arc of a circle, complete the circle.


Answer:

Steps of construction:

(i) Take three points A, B, C on the given arc


(ii) Join AB and BC


(iii) Draw the perpendicular bisectors of chords AB and BC which intersect each other at point O. Then, O will be the required centre of the required circle.


(iv) Join OA


(v) With centre O and radius OA, complete the circle




Question 13.

Draw different pairs of circles. How many points does each pair have in common? What is the maximum number of common points?


Answer:

Each pair of circles have 0, 1 or 2 points in common. The maximum number of points in common is 2.



Question 14.

Suppose you are given a circle. Give a construction to find its centre.


Answer:

Steps of construction:

(i) Take three points A, B and C in the given circle.


(ii) Join AB and BC


(iii) Draw the perpendicular bisector of chord AB and BC which intersect each other at O


(iv) Point O will be the required centre of the circle because we know that, the perpendicular bisector of the chord always passes through the centre




Question 15.

Two chords AB and CD of lengths 5 cm and 11 cm respectively of a circle are parallel to each other and are opposite side of its centre. If the distance between AB and CD is 6 cm, find the radius of the circle.


Answer:

Draw OM perpendicular to AB and ON perpendicular to CD

Join OB and OC


BM = = (Perpendicular from centre bisects the chord)


ND = =


Let,


ON be r so OM will be (6 – x)


In ,


OM2 + MB2 = OB2


(6 – x)2 + ()2 = OB2


36 + x2 – 12x + = OB2 (i)


In


ON2 + ND2 = OD2


x2 + ()2 = OD2


x2 + = OD2 (ii)


We have,


OB = OD (Radii of same circle)


So from (i) and (ii), we get


36 + x2 + 2x + = x2 +


12x = 36 + -


= =


= 12


From (ii), we get


(1)2 + () = OD2


OD2 = 1 +


=


OD =


So, radius of circle is found to be cm



Question 16.

The lengths of two parallel chords of a circle are 6 cm and 8 cm. If the smaller chord is at a distance of 4 cm from the centre, what is the distance of the other chord from the centre?


Answer:

Distance of smaller chord AB from centre of circle = 4 cm

OM = 4 cm


MB = =


= 3 cm


In


OM2 + MB2 = OB2


(4)2 + (3)2 = OB2


16 + 9 = OB2


OB2 = 25


OB = 5 cm


In


OD = OB = 5 cm (Radii of same circle)


ND = =


= 4 cm


ON2 + ND2 = OD2


ON2+ (4)2 = (5)2


ON2 = 25 – 16


= 9


ON = 3


SO, distance of bigger chord from circle is 3 cm.




Exercise 16.3
Question 1.

Three girls Ishita, Isha and Nisha are playing a game by standing on a circle of radius 20 m drawn in a park. Ishita throws a ball to Isha, Isha to Nisha and Nisha to Ishita. If the distance between Ishita and Isha and between Isha and Nisha is 24 m each, what is distance between Ishita and Nisha?


Answer:
Let A be the position of Ishita, B be the position of Isha and C be the position of Nisha
Given AB = BC = 24 m
OA = OB = OC = 20 m [Radii of circle]
Draw perpendiculars OP and OQ on AB and BC respectively
AP = PB = 12 m
In right ΔOPA,
OP2 + AP2 = OA2
OP2 + (12)2 = (20)2
OP2 = 256 sq m
Therefore, OP = 16 m
From the figure, OABC is a kite since OA = OC and AB = BC.
Recall that the diagonals of a kite are perpendicular and the diagonal common to both the isosceles triangles is bisected by another diagonal.
Therefore, ∠ARB = 90° and AR = RC
Area of ΔOAB = x OP x AB
= x 16 x 24 = 192 sq m
Also area of ΔOAB = x OB x AR
Hence, x OB x AR = 192
x 20 x AR = 192
Therefore, AR = 19.2 m
But AC = 2AR = 2(19.2) = 38.4 m
Thus the distance between Ishita and Nisha is 38.4 m

Question 2.

A circular park of radius 40 m is situated in a colony. Three boys Ankur, Amit and Anand are sitting at equal distance on its boundary each having a toy telephone in his hands to talk to each other. Find the length of the string of each phone.


Answer:

Given that,

AB = BC = CA


So, ABC is an equilateral triangle


OA = 40 cm (Radius)


Medians of equilateral triangle pass through the circumference (O) of the equilateral triangle ABC


We also know that,


Median intersects each other at 2: 1 as AD is the median of equilateral triangle ABC, we can write:


=


=


OD = 20 m


Therefore,


AO = OA + OD


= 40 + 20


= 60 m


In


By using Pythagoras theorem


AC2 = AO2 + DC2


AC2 = (60)2 + ()2


AC2 = 3600 +


AC2 = 3600


2 = 4800


m


So, length of string of each phone will be m




Exercise 16.4
Question 1.

In Fig. 16.120, O is the centre of the circle. If ∠APB=50°, find ∠AOB and ∠OAB.



Answer:

∠APB = 50o (Given)

By degree measure theorem,


∠AOB = ∠APB


∠APB = 2 * 50


= 100o


Since,


OA = OB (Radii)


Hence,


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


Let,


∠OAB = x


In Triangle OAB,


∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB = 180o


x + x + 100o = 180o


2x = 80o


x = 40o


∠OAB = ∠OBA = 40o



Question 2.

In Fig. 16.121, it is given that O is the centre of the circle and ∠AOC=150°. Find ∠ABC.



Answer:

We have,

∠AOC = 150o


Therefore,


∠AOC + Reflex ∠AOC = 360o


Reflex ∠AOC = 210o


2 ∠ABC = 210o (By degree measure theorem)


∠ABC = 105o



Question 3.

In Fig. 16.122, O is the centre of the circle. Find ∠BAC.



Answer:

We have,

∠AOB = 80o


∠AOC = 110o


∠AOB + ∠AOC + ∠BOC = 360o (Complete angle)


80o + 110o + ∠BOC = 360o


∠BOC = 170o


By degree measure theorem,


∠BOC = 2 ∠BAC


170o = 2 ∠BAC


∠BAC = 85o



Question 4.

If O is the centre of the circle, find the value of x in each of the following figures :









Answer:

(i) ∠AOC = 135o

Therefore,


∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180o (Linear pair)


135o + ∠BOC = 180o


∠BOC = 45o


By degree measure theorem,


∠BOC = 2 ∠COB


45o = 2x


x = 22 o


(ii) We have,


∠ABC = 40o


∠ACB = 90o (Angle in semi-circle)


In triangle ABC, by angle sum property


∠CAB + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180o


∠CAB + 90o + 40o = 180o


∠CAB = 50o


Now,


∠COB = ∠CAB (Angle on same segment)


x = 50o


(iii) We have,


∠AOC = 120o


BY degree measure theorem,


∠AOC = 2 ∠APC


120o= 2 ∠APC


∠APC = 60o


Therefore,


∠APC + ∠ABC = 180o (Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral)


60o + ∠ABC = 180o


∠ABC = 120o


∠ABC + ∠DBC = 180o (Linear pair)

∠x = ∠3 + ∠3


∠x = ∠3 + ∠4 (i) (Therefore, ∠3 = ∠4)


But,


∠y = ∠3 + ∠1 (By exterior angle property)


∠3 = ∠y - ∠1 (ii)


From (i) and (ii),


∠x = ∠y - ∠1 + ∠4


∠x = ∠y + ∠4 - ∠1


∠x = ∠y + ∠z + ∠1 - ∠1 (By exterior angle property)


∠x = ∠y + ∠z

60o = 2 ∠APB


∠APB = 30o


Now,


∠APB + ∠AQB = 180o (Opposite angle of cyclic quadrilateral)


30o + ∠AQB = 180o

∠OAB = 50°


Therefore,


∠OAB = ∠OBA = 50°


∠AOB = 2 ∠BCA (Angle subtended by any point on circle)


80° = 2 ∠BCA


∠BCA = 40°


Now,


In triangle ABC


∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°


∠A + 30o + 40o = 180°


∠A = 110°


∠CAB = ∠CAO + ∠OAB


110° = ∠CAO + 50°


∠CAO = 60°

∠ADB = ∠ACB = 30° (Angle on the same segment)


Now,


∠BCD = ∠ACB + ∠DCA


= 30° + 80°


= 110°


∠OAB + ∠BCD = 180°


∠OAB + 110° = 180°


∠OAB = 70°


Question 9.

In Fig. 16.196, if O is the circumcentre of Δ ABC, then find the value of ∠OBC + ∠BAC.



Answer:

= 72 + 62


AO2 = 85 (i)


In CON,


CO2 = ON2 + CN2


CO2 = 4 + (ii)


We Know,


AO = CO


AO2 = CO2


85 = 4 +


x2 = 324


x = 18 cm

Since,


Arc AXBYC is the arc equal to half circumference


And,


Angle subtended by half circumference at centre is 180°


Arc AXBYC = Arc AXB + Arc BYC


Arc AXBYC = Arc BYC + Arc BYC


Arc AXBYC = Arc AXBYC


Now,


∠BOC = ∠AOC


∠BOC = * 180°


∠BOC = 120°

AB = AD


ABCD is a parallelogram, then


AD ‖ BC, AB ‖ CD


CDE is a straight line, then


AB ‖ CE


Let,


∠BEC = ∠ABE = x’ (Alternate angle)


We know that,


The angle substended by an arc of a circle at the centre double the angle are angle substended by it at any point on the remaining part of circle


∠BAD = 2 ∠BEC


∠BAD = 2x’


In a rhombus opposite angles are equal to each other


∠BAD = ∠BCD = 2x’


Now, we have to find


=


=


=


Hence,


∠BCD: ∠ABE is 2: 1



Question 15.

In Fig. 16.199, AB is a diameter of the circle such that ∠A=35° and ∠Q=25°, find ∠PBR.



Answer:

In triangle ABQ,

∠ABQ + ∠AQB + ∠BAQ = 180o


∠ABQ + 25o + 35o = 180o


∠ABQ = 120o


∠APB = 90o (Angle in the semi-circle)


In triangle APB,


∠APB + ∠PBA + ∠PAB = 180o


90o + ∠PBA + 35o = 180o


∠PBA = 55o


Now,


∠PBR = ∠PBA + ∠PBR


∠PBR = 55o + (180o – 120o)


∠PBR = 115o


Thus,


∠PBR = 115o

Answer:

We know that,

∠ACB =


∠ACB =


∠ACB = 75o


Since,


ACD is a straight line, so


∠ACB + ∠BCD = 180o


75o + ∠BCD = 180o


∠BCD = 180o – 75o


= 105o


Now,


∠BCD = Reflex ∠BQD


105o = (360o - ∠BQD)


210o = 360o - ∠BQD


∠BQD = 360o – 210o


Therefore,


∠BQD = 150o

Answer:

∠ADE = 95o (Given)

Since,


OA = OB, so


∠OAB = ∠OBA


∠OAB = 30o


∠ADE + ∠ADC = 180o (Linear pair)


95o + ∠ADC = 180o


∠ADC = 85o


We know that,


∠ADC = 2 ∠ADC


∠ADC = 2 * 85o


∠ADC = 170o


Since,


AO = OC (Radii of circle)


∠OAC = ∠OCA (Sides opposite to equal angle) (i)


In triangle OAC,


∠OAC + ∠OCA + ∠AOC = 180o


∠OAC + ∠OAC + 170o = 180o [From (i)]


2 ∠OAC = 10o


∠OAC = 5o


Thus,


∠OAC = 5o
