Circles
Exercise 9.1
Question 1:
Recall that two circles are congruent if they have the same radii. Prove that equal chords
of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres.
Answer:
A circle is a collection of points which are equidistant from a fixed point. This fixed point
is called as the centre of the circle and this equal distance is called as radius of the
circle. And thus, the shape of a circle depends on its radius. Therefore, it can be
observed that if we try to superimpose two circles of equal radius, then both circles will
cover each other. Therefore, two circles are congruent if they have equal radius.
Consider two congruent circles having centre O and O’ and two chords AB and CD of
equal lengths.
Hence, equal chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres.
Question 2:
Prove that if chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres, then the
chords are equal.
Answer:
Let us consider two congruent circles (circles of same radius) with centres as O and O’.
⇒ AB = CD (By CPCT)
Hence, if chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres, then the
chords are equal.
Exercise 9.2
Question 1:
Two circles of radii 5 cm and 3 cm intersect at two points and the distance between
their centres is 4 cm. Find the length of the common chord.
Answer:
Let the radius of the circle centered at O and O’ be 5 cm and 3 cm respectively.
OA = OB = 5 cm
O’A = O’B = 3 cm
∴ AC = CB
In ΔOAC,
⇒ 52 = AC2 + x2
⇒ 25 − x2 = AC2 … (1)
In ΔO’AC,
⇒ 32 = AC2 + (x − 4)2
⇒ 9 = AC2 + x2 + 16 − 8x
⇒ AC2 = − x2 − 7 + 8x … (2)
25 − x2 = − x2 − 7 + 8x
8x = 32
x=4
Therefore, the common chord will pass through the centre of the smaller circle i.e., O’
and hence, it will be the diameter of the smaller circle.
Question 2:
If two equal chords of a circle intersect within the circle, prove that the segments of one
chord are equal to corresponding segments of the other chord.
Answer:
Let PQ and RS be two equal chords of a given circle and they are intersecting each other
at point T.
OT = OT (Common)
It is given that,
PQ = RS … (2)
⇒ PV = RU … (3)
PV + VT = RU + UT
⇒ PT = RT … (4)
PQ − PT = RS − RT
⇒ QT = ST … (5)
Equations (4) and (5) indicate that the corresponding segments of chords PQ and RS are
congruent to each other.
Question 3:
If two equal chords of a circle intersect within the circle, prove that the line joining the
point of intersection to the centre makes equal angles with the chords.
Answer:
Let PQ and RS are two equal chords of a given circle and they are intersecting each
other at point T.
OT = OT (Common)
Therefore, it is proved that the line joining the point of intersection to the centre makes
equal angles with the chords.
Question 4:
If a line intersects two concentric circles (circles with the same centre) with centre O at
A, B, C and D, prove that AB = CD (see figure 9.12).
Answer:
It can be observed that BC is the chord of the smaller circle and AD is the chord of the
bigger circle.
We know that perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle bisects the chord.
∴ BM = MC … (1)
And, AM = MD … (2)
AM − BM = MD − MC
⇒ AB = CD
Question 5:
Three girls Reshma, Salma and Mandip are playing a game by standing on a circle of
radius 5 m drawn in a park. Reshma throws a ball to Salma, Salma to Mandip, Mandip to
Reshma. If the distance between Reshma and Salma and between Salma and Mandip is
6 m each, what is the distance between Reshma and Mandip?
Answer:
In ΔOAR,
OA2 = (25 − 9) m2 = 16 m2
OA = 4 m
ORSM will be a kite (OR = OM and RS = SM). We know that the diagonals of a kite are
perpendicular and the diagonal common to both the isosceles triangles is bisected by
another diagonal.
Area of ΔORS =
Question 6:
A circular park of radius 20 m is situated in a colony. Three boys Ankur, Syed and David
are sitting at equal distance on its boundary each having a toy telephone in his hands to
talk each other. Find the length of the string of each phone.
Answer:
It is given that AS = SD = DA
OA (radius) = 20 m
Medians of equilateral triangle pass through the circum centre (O) of the equilateral
triangle ASD. We also know that medians intersect each other in the ratio 2: 1. As AB is
the median of equilateral triangle ASD, we can write
∴ AB = OA + OB = (20 + 10) m = 30 m
In ΔABD,
AD2 = (30)2 +
Exercise 9.3
Question 1:
In the given figure, A, B and C are three points on a circle with centre O such that ∠BOC =
30° and ∠AOB = 60°. If D is a point on the circle other than the arc ABC, find ∠ADC.
Answer:
= 60° + 30°
= 90°
We know that angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by
it any point on the remaining part of the circle.
Question 2:
A chord of a circle is equal to the radius of the circle. Find the angle subtended by the
chord at a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc.
Answer:
In ΔOAB,
AB = OA = OB = radius
∴ ∠AOB = 60°
Therefore, angle subtended by this chord at a point on the major arc and the minor arc
are 30° and 150° respectively.
Question 3:
In the given figure, ∠PQR = 100°, where P, Q and R are points on a circle with centre O.
Find ∠OPR.
Answer:
We know that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended
by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
In ΔPOR,
OP = OR (Radii of the same circle)
∠OPR = 10°
Question 4:
Answer:
In ΔABC,
⇒ ∠BAC = 80°
∠BDC = ∠BAC = 80° (Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal)
Question 5:
In the given figure, A, B, C and D are four points on a circle. AC and BD intersect at a
point E such that ∠BEC = 130° and ∠ECD = 20°. Find ∠BAC.
Answer:
In ΔCDE,
⇒ ∠CDE = 110°
⇒ ∠BAC = 110°
Question 6:
Answer:
∠CAD = 70°
∠BCD = 80°
In ΔABC,
AB = BC (Given)
⇒ ∠BCA = 30°
⇒ ∠ACD = 50°
⇒ ∠ECD = 50°
Question 7:
If diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral are diameters of the circle through the vertices of
the quadrilateral, prove that it is a rectangle.
Answer:
Let ABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral having diagonals BD and AC, intersecting each other
at point O.
(Consider BD as a chord)
∠ABC = 90°
Question 8:
Answer:
AD = BC (Given)
Question 9:
Two circles intersect at two points B and C. Through B, two line segments ABD and PBQ
are drawn to intersect the circles at A, D and P, Q respectively (see the given figure).
Prove that ∠ACP = ∠QCD.
Answer:
∠ACP = ∠QCD
Question 10:
If circles are drawn taking two sides of a triangle as diameters, prove that the point of
intersection of these circles lie on the third side.
Answer:
Consider a ΔABC.
Let they intersect each other at D and let D not lie on BC.
Join AD.
Therefore, BDC is a straight line and hence, our assumption was wrong.
Question 11:
ABC and ADC are two right triangles with common hypotenuse AC. Prove that ∠CAD =
∠CBD.
Answer:
In ΔABC,
In ΔADC,
From equations (3) and (4), it can be observed that the sum of the measures of opposite
angles of quadrilateral ABCD is 180°. Therefore, it is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Answer:
∴ ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D
∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠A = 180°
⇒ 2 ∠A = 180°
⇒ ∠A = 90°
Parallelogram ABCD has one of its interior angles as 90°. Therefore, it is a rectangle.
