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.

Ans. I Part: Two circles are said to be congruent if and only if one of them can be superposed on the other so as to cover it exactly.

Let C (O, ) and C (O’, ) be two circles. Let us imagine that the circle C (O’, ) is superposed on C (O, ) so that O’ coincide with O. Then it can easily be seen that C (O’,) will cover C (O,) completely if and only if

Hence we can say that two circles are congruent, if and only if they have equal radii.

II Part: Given: In a circle (O, ), AB and CD are two equal chords, subtend AOB and COB at the centre.

To Prove: AOB = COD

Proof: In AOB and COD,

AB = CD [Given]

AO = CO [Radii of the same circle]

BO = DO [Radii of the same circle]

AOB COD[By SSS axiom]

AOB = COD[By CPCT]

Hence Proved.

Ans. Given: In a circle (O, ), AB and CD subtend two angles at the centre such that AOB = COD

To Prove: AB = CD

Proof: : In AOB and COD,

AO = CO[Radii of the same circle]

BO = DO[Radii of the same circle]

AOB = COD[Given]

AOB COD[By SAS axiom]

AB = CD [By CPCT]

Hence proved.

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

Ans. From the figure, we observe that when different pairs of circles are drawn, each pair have two points (say A and B) in common.

Maximum number of common points are two in number.

Suppose two circles C (O, ) and C (O’, ) intersect each other in three points, say A, B and C.

Then A, B and C are non-collinear points.

We know that:

There is one and only one circle passing through three non-collinear points.

Therefore, a unique circle passes through A, B and C.

O’ coincides with O and

A contradiction to the fact that C (O’, ) C (O, )

Our supposition is wrong.

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

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

Ans. Steps of construction:

(a) Take any three points A, B and C on the circle.

(b) Join AB and BC.

(c) Draw perpendicular bisector say LM of AB.

(d) Draw perpendicular bisector PQ of BC.

(e) Let LM and PQ intersect at the point O.

Then O is the centre of the circle.

Verification:

O lies on the perpendicular bisector of AB.

OA = OB……….(i)

O lies on the perpendicular bisector of BC.

OB = OC……….(ii)

From eq. (i) and (ii), we observe that

OA = OB = OC = (say)

Three non-collinear points A, B and C are at equal distance from the point O inside the circle.

Hence O is the centre of the circle.

5. If two circles intersect at two points, prove that their centres lie on the perpendicular bisector of the common chord.

Ans. Given: Let C (O, ) and C (O’, ) be two circles intersecting at A and B. AB is the common chord.

To prove: OO’ is the perpendicular bisector of the chord AB.

Construction: Join OA, OB, O’A, O’B.

Proof: In triangles OAO’ and OBO’,

OA = OB [Each radius]

O’A = O’B [Each radius]

OO’ = OO’ [Common]

OAO’ OBO’[By SSS congruency]

AOO’ = BOO’[By CPCT]

AOM = BOM

Now in AOB,OA = OB

And AOB = OBA [Proved earlier]

Also AOM = BOM

RemainingAMO = BMO

AMO = BMO = [Linear pair]

OM AB

OO’ AB

Since OM AB

M is the mid-point of AB.

Hence OO’ is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

6. Two circles of radii 5 cm and 3 cm intersect at two points and the distance between their centers is 4 cm. Find the length of the common chord.

Ans. Let two circles with centres O and O’ intersect each other at points A and B. On joining A and B, AB is a common chord.

Radius OA = 5 cm, Radius O’A = 3 cm,

Distance between their centers OO’ = 4 cm

In triangle AOO’,

25 = 16 + 9

25 = 25

Hence AOO’ is a right triangle, right angled at O’.

Since, perpendicular drawn from the center of the circle bisects the chord.

Hence O’ is the mid-point of the chord AB. Also O’ is the centre of the circle II.

Therefore, length of chord AB = Diameter of circle II

Length of chord = 6 cm.

7. 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)

Ans. Given: Line intersects two concentric circles with centre O at points A, B, C and D.

To prove: AB = CD

Construction: Draw OL

Proof: AD is a chord of outer circle and OL AD.

AL = LD ………(i) [Perpendicular drawn from the centre bisects the chord]

Now, BC is a chord of inner circle and OL BC

BL = LC ……(ii) [Perpendicular drawn from the centre bisects the chord]

Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get,

AL – BL = LD – LC

AB = CD

8. A chord of a circle is equal to the radius of the circle. Find the angle subtended by the chord on a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc.

Ans. Let AB be the minor arc of circle.

Chord AB = Radius OA = Radius OB

AOB is an equilateral triangle.

AOB =

Now

AOB + BOA =

+ BOA =

BOA =

D is a point in the minor arc.

BOA = 2BDA

BDA = BOA =

BDA =

Thus angle subtended by major arc, at any point D in the minor arc is

Let E be a point in the major arc

= 2AEB

AOB = 2AEB

AEB = AOB

AEB = =

9. In figure, ABC = ACB = find BDC.

Ans. In triangle ABC,

BAC + ABC + ACB =

BAC +

BAC =

BAC = ……….(i)

Since, A and D are the points in the same segment of the circle.

BDC = BAC

[Angles subtended by the same arc at any points in the alternate segment of a circle are equal]

BDC = [Using (i)]

10. In figure, A, B, C, D are four points on a circle. AC and BD intersect at a point E such that BEC = and ECD = Find BAC.

Ans. Given: BEC = and ECD =

DEC = BEC = [Linear pair]

Now in DEC,

DEC + DCE + EDC = [Angle sum property]

EDC = EDC =

BAC = EDC = [Angles in same segment]

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

Ans. Since AC is a diameter.

B = D = ……….(i)

[Angle in semicircle is right angle]

Similarly A = C = ……….(ii)

Now AC = BD[Diameters of same circle]

[Arcs opposite to equal chords]

AD = BC[Chords opposite to equal arcs] ……….(iii)

Similarly AB = DC……….(iv)

From eq. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we observe that each angles of the quadrilateral is and opposite sides are equal.

Hence ABCD is a rectangle.

12. 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.

Ans. Given: Two circles intersect each other at points A and B. AP and AQ be their respective diameters.

To prove: Point B lies on the third side PQ.

Construction: Join A and B.

Proof: AP is a diameter.

1 =

[Angle in semicircle]

Also AQ is a diameter.

2 =

[Angle in semicircle]

1 + 2 =

PBQ =

PBQ is a line.

Thus point B. i.e. point of intersection of these circles lies on the third side i.e., on PQ.

13. ABC and ADC are two right triangles with common hypotenuse AC. Prove that CAD = ABD.

Ans. We have ABC and ADC two right triangles, right angled at B and D respectively.

ABC = ADC[Each ]

If we draw a circle with AC (the common hypotenuse) as diameter, this circle will definitely passes through of an arc AC, Because B and D are the points in the alternate segment of an arc AC.

Now we have subtending CBD and CAD in the same segment.

CAD = CBD

Hence proved.

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

Ans. Let O be the centre of the circle.

AE = EB = AB = = cm

And CF = FD = CD = = cm

Let OE =

Hence radius of the circle is cm.

15. 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 form the centre?

Ans. Let AB = 6 cm and CD = 8 cm are the chords of circle with centre O.

Join OA and OC.

Since perpendicular from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord.

AE = EB = AB = = 3 cm

And CF = FD = CD = = 4 cm

Perpendicular distance of chord AB from the centre O is OE.

OE = 4 cm

Now in right angled triangle AOE,

[Using Pythagoras theorem]

= 9 + 16 = 25

= 5 cm

Perpendicular distance of chord CD from the center O is OF.

Now in right angled triangle OFC,

[Using Pythagoras theorem]

OF = 3cm

Hence distance of other chord from the centre is 3 cm.

Now, from eq. (i) and (iv),

3 = 5 AE = AD [Sides opposite to equal angles are equal]

In figure (b),

ABCD is a parallelogram.

1 = 3 and 2 = 4

Also ABCD and BC meets them.

1 + 2 = ……….(i)

And ADBC and EC meets them.

5 = 2 ……….(ii) [Corresponding angles]

Since ABCE is a cyclic quadrilateral.

1 + 6 = ……….(iii)

From eq. (i) and (iii),

1 + 2 = 1 + 6

2 = 6

But from eq. (ii),2 = 5

5 = 6

Now in triangle AED,

5 = 6

AE = AD [Sides opposite to equal angles]

Hence in both the cases, AE = AD

=

36. Find the length of AB, CD,AC and BD if two concentric circles with centre O have A,B,C,D as the Point of intersection with line l.

Ans. OMBC

BM=MC……..(i)

OMAD

AM = MD…….(ii)

From (i) and (ii)

AM - BM = MD - MC = 6-4

AB = CD = 2cm

AC = AB+BC

=2+8=10cm

BD=BC+CD

=8+2 = 10cm
