Circles Worksheet

The tangent line touches a circle with center (3, 5) at point (6, 8). The second problem provides a circle with center (2, 1) and a tangent touching at (4, 7). The third problem describes a circle with center (2, 5) where the line joining the center to a point P on the circle bisects the chord AB. The final problem gives a circle with center (3, 4), a tangent at point (5, -2), and seeks the equation of the tangent and chord AB.

The line is a tangent to the circle,

(6, 8) touching at the point (6, 8). The


centre of the circle is (3, 5).

Use this to determine the equation


of the tangent.
(3, 5)

The line is a tangent to the circle


with centre (2, 1), touching at the
point (4, 7).
(4, 7)
Find the equation of the tangent
and hence the co-ordinates of the
point where the tangent intersects
(2, 1) P the x-axis.

The line AB is a chord which is


A bisected by the line joining the
P (6, 8) centre of the circle to the point P.
B
Find the equation of the line AB

(2, 5)
The centre of the circle is (3, 4) and
B there is a tangent at P at the point
(5, -2).

The point B is a point on the circle


and also a point on the chord AB.
A (3, 4)
Find the equation of the tangent
and hence the equation of the
P (5, -2) chord.
