CIRCLES( WORKSHEET)
CLASS 10

1.ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC which is circumscribed about a circle as shown in the
figure. Show that BC is bisected at the point of contact.

2.In the given figure, TP and TQ are tangents from T to the circle with centre O and R is any point on
the circle. If AB is a tangent to the circle at R, prove that : TA + AR = TB + BR

3.Two circles with centres X and Y touch externally at P. If tangents AT and BT meet the common
tangent at T, then prove that AT = BT.

4. In the given figure, tangents AC and AB are drawn to a circle from a point A such that <BAC=30°. A
chord BD is drawn parallel to the tangent AC. Find< DBC.

5. PT and QT are two tangents to the circle. If <PTQ = 50 , find <PSQ and <OPQ

6. In the given fig. MA and MB are tangents from M to the circle with centre O. E is a point on the circle.
Prove that MC +CE =MD +DE

7. Prove that the tangents at the extremities of any chord makes equal angles with the chord.
8.If two tangents are drawn to a circle from an external point, then prove that they are equally
inclined to the line segment, joining the centre to that point.
9. In two concentric circles, prove that a chord of larger circle which is tangent to a smaller circle is
bisected at the point of contact.
10. PA and PB are tangents from point P to the circle with centre O as shown in figure. At point M, a
tangent is drawn cutting PA at K and PB at N. Prove that KN=AK+BN.
