Exercise 10.3

Q1.Draw different pair of circles. How many points does each pair have in common? What is the maximum number of common points?

Ans.Drawing circles of different types of pairs as following

It can be observed that three types of the possible pairs of the circles can be drawn which are shown by (i),(ii) and (iii)

(i) has no common points,(ii) has one common point and (iii) has two common points

Thus a pair of circles can have the maximum number of 2 common points.

Q2. Suppose you are given a circle, give a construction to find its centre.

Ans.Construction for finding the centre of the circle

Step 1: Drawing two chords AB and BC such that one is the common  point between them

Step 2:Drawing a perpendicular bisection of both chords AB and BC, both the perpendicular bisection of the chords intersect at a point located at the interior of the circle, this point O is the centre of the circle.

Q3.If two circles intersect at two points, prove that their centre lies on the perpendicular bisector of the common chord.

Ans.

GIVEN: Two circles with centre O and O’ and common chord AB,M is the point of intersection of the chord and the line OO’.

 TO PROVE: OO’ is the perpendicular bisector of the common chord AB

Construction: Joining O to O’,A to O,O to  B,A to O’ and B to O’

PROOF:In ΔOAO’ and ΔOBO’

OA = OB (radii of same circle)

O’A = O’B(radii of same circle)

OO’ = O’O(common)

ΔOAO’ ≅ ΔOBO’ (by SSS rule)

∠AOM = ∠BOM (by CPCT)

In ΔOAM and ΔOBM

OA = OB (radii of same circle)

OM = MO(common)

∠AOM = ∠BOM (proved above)

AM = BM (by CPCT)………(i)

∠AMO = ∠BMO (by CPCT)

∠AMO + ∠BMO =180 (linear pair)

∠AMO +∠AMO =180

2∠AMO = 180

∠AMO = 90°……………(ii)

Equation (i) and (ii) shows that O and O’ lies on the perpendicular bisector of the common chord AB

Exercise 10.4

Q1.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.

Ans. We are given two circles of centres O and O’ with radii 5 cm and 3 cm intersected at two points A and B.

Also given the distance between their centre OO’ = 4 cm

Let’s find out the length of the common chord

According to Heron’s formula the area of ΔAOO’

S = (a+b+c)/2 = (5+4+3)/2 = 6

…(i)

If two circles intersect at two points then the line joining the centres of the circles is the perpendicular bisector of the common chord of both circles.

Area of ΔAOO’ = 1/2(OO’×AM) = 1/2(4×AM)..(ii)

Therefore from both of the equations (i) and (ii)

1/2(4×AM) = 6

2AM = 6⇒ AM = 3 cm

Hence  AB = 2AM = 2×3 = 6 cm

Q2.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.

Ans.

GIVEN: A circle with centre O, two equal chords AB and CD intersecting to each other at E.

TO PROVE: AE = DE and BE =CE

CONSTRUCTION: Drawing OM⊥AB and ON⊥CD and Joining  O to E

PROOF: Considering ΔOME and ΔONE

OM = ON (distance of equal chords from the centre)

∠OME = ∠ONE=90° (OM⊥AB and ON⊥CD)

OE = OE (common)

ΔOME ≅ΔONE (RHS principle)

ME = NE (by CPCT)……..(i)

It is given to us that

AB = CD

AB/2 = CD/2

Since perpendicular from centre to a chord bisects the chord

AM = DN……….(ii)

Adding both the equation (i) and equation (ii)

AM + ME = DN + NE

AE = DE,Hence proved

Subtracting both sided from AB

BE=AB -AE  and  CE= CD -DE= AB-AE

∴ BE = CE,Hence proved

Q3.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.

Ans.

GIVEN: A circle with centre O, two equal chords AB and CD intersecting to each other at E.

TO PROVE: ∠OEM =∠OEN

CONSTRUCTION: Drawing OM⊥AB and ON⊥CD and Joining  O to E

PROOF:In ΔOME and ΔONE

OM = ON (distance of equal chords from the centre)

∠OME = ∠ONE=90° (OM⊥AB and ON⊥CD)

OE = OE (common)

ΔOME ≅ΔONE (RHS principle)

∠OEM =∠OEN (by CPCT rule),Hence proved

Q4.If a line intersects two concentric circles (circles with the same centres) with centre O at A, B, C and D prove that AB = CD (see figure).

Ans.

GIVEN: Two concentric circles with centre O, a line intersects both circles at A, B, C and D

TO PROVE: AB = CD

CONSTRUCTION: Drawing OM⊥ BC

PROOF: Since perpendicular from centre to a chord   bisects the chord

OM⊥ BC (constructed)

∴BM = CM……..(i)

A, B, M,C and D lie on the same line

∴ OM⊥ AD

Since perpendicular from centre to a chord   bisects the chord

∴AM = DM………(ii)

Subtracting equation (i) from equation (ii)

AM -BM = DM-CM

AB = CD, Hence proved

Q5.Three girls Reshma, Salma and Mandeep 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 Mandeep, Mandeep to Reshma. If the distance between Reshma and Salma and between Salma and Mandeep is 6m each, what is the distance between Reshma and Mandeep?

Ans.It is given to us that three girls Reshma(R), Salma(S) and Mandeep(M) are located on a circle of radius 5 m such that RS =SM = 6m

In ΔORN and ΔOMN

∠ROS = ∠MOS (equal chords of a circle subtends equal angles to the centre)

OR = OM(radii of the same circle)

ON = ON(common)

ΔORN ≅ ΔOMN (SAS rule)

RN = MN (by CPCT)

∴RM = 2RN……(i)

∠ONR = ∠ONM(by CPCT

∠ONR + ∠ONM = 180° (linear pair)

2∠ONR = 180°

∠ONR = 90°

∴ RN ⊥OS

Area of the ΔROS =1/2(OS ×RN) = 5/2(RN)…..(ii)

Drawing OT⊥RS

∴TR =RS/2 =6/2 =3 m (perpendicular drawn from centre to chord bisects the chord)

OT =√(OR²-TR²) = √(5²-3²) =√(25-9) =√16 = 4 m (since OR =radius =5 m)

Area of the ΔROS =1/2(RS ×OT) = 1/2(6×4)=12 …..(iii)

From equation (ii) and equation (iii)

5/2(RN) = 12

RN = 24/5 = 4.8 m

From equation (i)

RM = 2 ×4.8 = 9.6 m

Hence the distance between Reshma and Mandeep is 9.6 m.

Q6.A circular park of radius 20 m is situated in a colony. Three boys Ankur, Syed and David are sitting at equal distances 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.

Ans.We are given that three boys,Ankur(A),Syed(S) and David (D) are positioned on a circular park with radius 20 m such that AS = DS = AD

Drawing DM⊥ AS

∴AM = SM (Perpendicular drawn from the centre to the chord bisects the chord)

Since equilateral Δ ASD circumscribed by the circle with centre O,therefore O will also be the centroid of the circle.

We know the centroid of the circle divides the median into the ratio of 2:1

Let the length of the median DM is = x

Since DO:MO = 2: 1

Let the DO = 2k and MO = k

DO =20,therefore k = 10

MO =10 m

SM = √(OS²-MO²) = √(20²-10²) =√(400-100)=√(300) =10√3 m

Hence AS = 2SM =2×10√3 m=20√3 m

Therefore,the length of each string is 20√3 m

Exercise 10.5

Q1. In 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.

Ans.It is given to us a circle with centre O

From the figure we have

∠AOB = 60° and ∠BOC = 30°

∴ ∠AOC = ∠AOB+ ∠BOC =  60° + 30° = 90°

Since angle subtended by an arc at the circle is half of the angle subtended by it at the centre

∠ADC = 1/2(∠AOC) = 1/2(90° ) = 45°

Q2.A chord of 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.

Ans.

We are given a circle with centre O in which

The chord AC = Radius of the circle

OA and OC are the radii of the circle

∴ AC = OA = OC

Since ΔAOC is the equilateral triangle, therefore each angle is 60°

∠AOC =60°

The angle on the minor arc is ∠ABC and the angle subtended by the given chord AC at the centre is ∠AOC

We know the angle subtended by an arc at the circle is half of the angle subtended by it at the centre.

Here the angle subtended by an arc ABC at the centre is reflex ∠AOC

reflex ∠AOC = 360° – 60° = 300°

∠ABC = 1/2(reflex∠AOC) = 300°/2 = 150°

On the same way, since the angle subtended by an arc at the circle is half of the angle subtended by it at the centre.

Therefore,

∠ADC = 1/2(∠AOC) = 60°/2 = 30°

Hence, the angle subtended by the chord at a point on the minor arc is 150° and at a point on the major arc is 60°

Q3.In figure ∠PQR = 100°,where P,Q and R are points on a circle with centre O. Find ∠OPR.

We are given ∠PQR = 100°, where P,Q and R are points on a circle

The angle subtended by a chord at the circle is half of the angle subtended by it at the centre.

The angle subtended by the chord PR  at the centre is reflex ∠POR and at the circle is ∠PQR=100°

reflex ∠POR = 2∠PQR = 2×100 =200°

∴∠POR = 360°-reflex ∠POR = 360°-200° = 160°

In ΔPOR

PO = OR (radii of the circle)

∠OPR = ∠ORP (opposite angles of equal sides in a triangle)

According to the angle sum property of the triangle

∠OPR + ∠ORP +∠POR = 180°

∠OPR + ∠OPR +160°= 180°

2∠OPR = 180°- 160° =20°

∠OPR = 20°/2 = 10°

Therefore the required value of ∠OPR is 10°

Q4.In figure ∠ABC =69°,∠ACB =31°,find ∠BDC.

In the figure,we are given ∠ABC =69° and ∠ACB =31°

Applying the angle sum property of the triangle

∠BAC +∠ABC +∠ACB =180°

∠BAC + 69° +31° = 180°

∠BAC + 100° = 180°

∠BAC = 180° – 100° =80°

Since,the angles made on the same segment are equal

∴∠BDC=∠BAC  =80°

Q5. In figure A,B,C and D are four points on a circle .AC and BD intersects at point E  such that ∠ BEC =130° and ∠ECD =20°.Find ∠BAC .

Ans.It is given to us that A, B, C and D are four points on a circle.AC and BD intersect at point E  such that ∠ BEC =130° and ∠ECD =20°

∠DEC +∠BEC= 180° (∠DEC and ∠BEC are linear pair)

∠DEC +130°=180°

∠DEC= 180° – 130°= 50°

According to angle sum property of the triangle

∠DEC +∠EDC+∠ECD =180°

50°+∠EDC +20° = 180°

∠EDC = 180°- 70° = 110°

Since ∠EDC =∠BAC (angles made on the same segment)

Therefore ∠BAC = 110°

Q6.ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral whose diagonals intersects at a point E .If ∠DBC =70°,∠BAC =30°,find ∠BCD.Further ,if AB =BC ,find ∠ECD.

Ans. It is given to us that ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral whose diagonals intersects at a point E such that ∠DBC =70°,∠BAC =30°

From the figure it is clear that

∠BDC = ∠BAC (angles made on the same segment by the same chord BC)

∠BDC = 30°

∠DBC = ∠DAC (angles made on the same segment by the same chord DC)

∠DAC = 70°

∠DAB = ∠DAC +∠BAC =  70°+ 30° =100°

Since in a cyclic quadrilateral sum of opposite angles is 180°

∠DAB  + ∠BCD = 180°

100° + ∠BCD  = 180°

∠BCD = 180° – 100°

∠BCD=80°

If AB =BC then in ΔABC,we have

∠BAC = ∠ACB =30° (equal angles to opposite equal sides)

It is also clear from the figure

∠ECD = ∠DCB – ∠ACB

∠ECD = 80° – 30°

∠ECD = 50°

Q7.If diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral are diameters of the circle through the vertices of the quadrilateral, prove that it is a rectangle.

Ans.

GIVEN: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral and its diagonal AC and BD are the diameters of the circle.

TO PROVE: ABCD is a rectangle

PROOF: Since it is given to us that  diagonals of cyclic quadrilateral ABCD are diameter of the circle

Therefore

∠BAD = 90°(angles made on a semicircle)

∠ABC = 90°(angles made on a semicircle)

∠BCD = 90°(angles made on a semicircle)

∠ADC = 90°(angles made on a semicircle)

Each angle ∠BAD,∠ABC ,∠BCD and ∠ADC is a right angle, therefore cyclic quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.

Q8. If the non-parallel sides of a trapezium are equal, prove that it is cyclic.

Ans.

GIVEN: ABCD is a trapizium in which AB is parallel to DC

AD = BC

TO PROVE: ABCD is a cyclic

CONSTRUCTION: Drawing AE ⊥ AB and BF ⊥ AB

PROOF: In ΔADE and ΔBCF

AD = BC (given)

∠AED = ∠BEC (each 90°)

Since AE ⊥ AB and BF ⊥ AB and AB parallel to DC

∴ AE ⊥ DC and BF ⊥ DC

Hence ABCD is a rectangle

∴ AE = BF (opposite sides of rectangle)

Therfore

ΔADE ≅ ΔBCF (RHS rule)

∠D = ∠C (by CPCT)

∠A + ∠D = 180° (sum of cointerior angles)

∠A =  180°- ∠D ….(i)

Since ∠C = ∠D ……(ii) (proved above)

Adding equation (i) and equation (ii)

∠A + ∠C = 180°- ∠D  + ∠D = 180°

Therefore ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral 

Q9. 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 Fig. 10.40). Prove that ∠ ACP = ∠ QCD.

Ans.

GIVEN:Two circles intersects at two points B and C and two line segments ABD and PBQ two line segments intersects the circles at A, D  and P,Q respectively

TO PROVE: ∠ ACP = ∠ QCD

PROOF: In circle PBCA

∠ACP = ∠ABP …(i)(angles made on same segment )

∠ABP = ∠DBQ ….(ii)(vertically opposite angle where ABD and PBQ are the lines)

∠DBQ = ∠QCD …..(iii)(angles made on same segment )

From equation (i),(ii) and (iii),we have

∠ACP = ∠ABP  = ∠DBQ =∠QCD

∴∠ACP =∠QCD, Hence proved
