Question 1.
(i) In the given figure 3 x CP = PD = 9 cm and AP = 4.5 cm. Find BP.

(ii) In the given figure, 5 x PA = 3 x AB = 30 cm and PC = 4 cm. Find CD.

(iii) In the given figure, tangent PT = 12.5 cm and PA = 10 cm; find AB.

Solution:

Question 2.
In the figure given below, diameter AB and chord CD of a circle meet at P. PT is a tangent to the circle at T. CD = 7.8 cm, PD = 5 cm, PB = 4 cm. Find:
(i) AB.
(ii) the length of tangent PT. (2014)

Solution:
PT is tangent and PDC is secant out to the circle
∴ PT² = PC x PD
PT² = (5 + 7.8) x 5 = 12.8 x 5
PT² = 64 ⇒ PT = 8 cm
In ΔOTP
PT² + OT² = OP²
8²+x² = (x + 4)²
⇒ 64 +x² = x² + 16 + 8x
64- 16 = 8x
⇒ 48 = 8x
x = $$\frac { 48 }{ 8 }$$ = 6 cm
AB = 2 x 6 = 12 cm

Question 3.
In the following figure, PQ is the tangent to the circle at A, DB is the diameter and O is the centre of the circle. If ∠ ADB = 30° and ∠ CBD = 60°, calculate
(i) ∠ QAB
(iii) ∠ CDB.

Solution:
(i) PAQ is a tangent and AB is the chord, ∠ QAB = ∠ ADB (Angles in the alternate segment)
= 30°
(ii) OA = OD (Radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ OAD = ∠ ODA = 30°
But OA ⊥ PQ
∴ ∠ PAD = ∠ OAP – ∠OAD = 90° – 30° = 60°
(iii) BD is diameter
∴ ∠ BCD = 90° (Angle in semi circle)
Now in ∆ BCD,
∠ CDB + ∠ CBD + ∠ BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠ CDB + 60° + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠ CDB = 180°- (60° + 90°) = 180° – 150° = 30°

Question 4.
If PQ is a tangent to the circle at R; calculate:
(i) ∠ PRS
(ii) ∠ ROT.

Given O is the centre of the circle and angle TRQ = 30°.
Solution:

PQ is tangent and OR is the radius
∴ OR ⊥ PQ
∴ ∠ORT = 90° =
∠TRQ = 90° – 30° = 60°
But in ∆ OTR, OT = OR (Radii of the circle)
∴ ∠ OTR = 60° or ∠STR = 60°
But ∠PRS = ∠STR (Angles in the alternate segment) = 60°
In ∆ ORT, ∠ OTR = 60°, ∠ TOR = 60°
∴ ∠ROT= 180°-(60°+ 60°)= 180°-120° = 60°

Question 5.
AB is the diameter and AC is a chord of a circle with centre O such that angle BAC = 30°. The tangent to the circle at C intersect AB produced in D. Show that BC = BD.
Solution:

Given: In a circle, O is the centre,
AB is the diameter, a chord AC such that ∠ BAC = 30°
and a tangent from C, meets AB in D on producing. BC is joined.
To Prove: BC = BD
Construction: Join OC
Proof : ∠ BCD = ∠ BAC =30°(Angle in alternate segment)
Arc BC subtends ∠ DOC at the centre of the circle and ∠ BAC at the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠ BOC = 2 ∠ BAC = 2 x 30° = 60°
Now in ∆ OCD,
∠ BOC or ∠ DOC = 60° (Proved)
∠ OCD = 90° (∵ OC ⊥ CD)
∴ ∠ DOC + ∠ ODC = 90°
⇒ 60° + ∠ ODC = 90°
∴ ∠ ODC = 90°- 60° = 30°
Now in ∆BCD,
∵∠ ODC or ∠ BDC = ∠ BCD (Each = 30°)
∴ BC = BD Q.E.D.

Question 6.
Tangent at P to the circumcircle of triangle PQR is drawn. If this tangent is parallel to side QR, show that ∆PQR is isosceles.
Solution:

In a circumcircle of ∆PQR, a tangent TPS is drawn through P which is parallel to QR
To prove : ∆PQR is an isosceles triangle.
Proof:
∵ TS $$\parallel$$ QR
∠TPQ = ∠PQR (Alternate angles) ….(i)
∵ TS is tangent and PQ is the chord of the circle
∴ ∠TPQ = ∠RP (Angles in the alternate segment) ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
∠PQR = ∠QRP
∴ PQ = PR (Opposite sides of equal angles)
∴ ∆PQR is an isosceles triangle
Hence proved

Question 7.
Two circles with centres O and O’ are drawn to intersect each other at points A and B. Centre O of one circle lies on the circumference of the other circle and CD is drawn tangent to the circle with centre O’ at A. Prove that OA bisects angle BAC.

Solution:

Given: Two circles with centre O and O’ intersect each other at A and B, O lies on the circumference, of the other circle. CD is a tangent at A to the second circle. AB, OA are joined.
To Prove: OA bisects ∠ BAC.
Construction: Join OB, O’A, O’B and OO’
Proof: CD is the tangent and AO is the chord
∠ OAC = ∠ OBA …(i)
(Angles in alt. segment)
In ∆ OAB, OA = OB (Radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ OAB = ∠ OBA ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
∠ OAC = ∠ OAB
∴ OA is the bisector of ∠ BAC Q.E.D.

Question 8.
Two circles touch each other internally at a point P. A chord AB of the bigger circle intersects the other circle in C and D. Prove that: ∠ CPA = ∠DPB.

Solution:
Given:Two circles touch each other internally at P. A chord AB of the bigger circle intersects the smaller circle at C and D. AP, BP, CP and DP are joined.
To Prove: ∠ CPA = ∠ DPB
Construction: Draw a tangent TS at P to the circles given.
Proof:
∵ TPS is the tangent, PD is the chord.
∴ ∠ PAB = ∠ BPS …(i) ( Angles in alt. segment)
Similarly we can prove that
∠ PCD = ∠ DPS …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we gel
∠ PCD – ∠ PAB = ∠ DPS – ∠ BPS
But in ∆ PAC,
Ext. ∠ PCD = ∠ PAB + ∠ CPA
∴ ∠ PAB + ∠ CPA – ∠ PAB = ∠ DPS – ∠ BPS
∠ CPA = ∠ DPB           Q.E.D.

Question 9.
In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, the diagonal AC bisects the angle BCD. Prove that the diagonal BD is parallel to the tangent to the circle at point A.
Solution:

Given: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral and diagonal AC bisects ∠ BCD. AT A. a tangent TAS is drawn. BD is joined.
To Prove: TS || BD.
Proof: ∠ ADB = ∠ ACB …….(i) (Angles in the same segment)
Similarly ∠ ABD = ∠ ACD ……..(ii)
But ∠ ACB = ∠ ACD (AC is the bisector of ∠ BCD)
∴ ∠ ADB = ∠ ABD |From (i) and (ii)]
TAS is a tangent and AB is chord
∴ ∠ BAS = ∠ ADB (Angles in all segment)
But ∠ ADB = ∠ ABD (Proved)
∴ ∠ BAS = ∠ ABD
But these are alternate angles.
∴ TS || BD.      Q.E.D.

Question 10.
In the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral with BC = CD. TC is tangent to the circle at point C and DC is produced to point G. If ∠ BCG = 108° and O is the centre of the circle,
Find:
(i) angle BCT
(ii) angle DOC

Solution:

Join OC, OD and AC.
(i) ∠ BCG + ∠ BCD = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 108° + ∠ BCD = 180°
(∵∠ BCG = 108° given)
∴∠ BCD = 180° – 108° = 72°
BC = CD (given)
∴ ∠ DCP = ∠ BCT
But ∠ BCT + ∠ BCD + ∠ DCP = 180°
∴∠ BCT + ∠ BCT + 72° = 180°
(∵∠ DCP = ∠ BCT)
2 ∠ BCT = 180° – 72° = 108°
∴∠ BCT = $$\frac { { 108 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }$$ = 54°
(ii) PCT is the tangent and CA is chord
∴ ∠ CAD = ∠ BCT = 54°
But arc DC subtends ∠ DOC at the centre and
∠ CAD at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠ DOC = 2 ∠ CAD = 2 x 54° = 108°.

Question 11.
Two circles intersect each other at points A and B. A straight line PAQ cuts the circles at P and Q. If the tangents at P and Q intersect at point T; show that the points P, B, Q and T arc concyclic.
Solution:
Given: Two circles intersect each other at point A and B. PAQ is a line which intersects circles at P, A and Q. At P and Q, tangents are drawn to the circles which meet at T.
To Prove: P, B, Q, T are concyclic.

Construction: Join AB, BP and BQ.
Proof: TP is the tangent and PA. a chord
∴ ∠ TPA = ∠ ABP
(angles in alt. segment)
Similarly we can prove that
∠ TQA = ∠ ABQ …,(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
∠ TPA + ∠ TQA = ∠ ABP + ∠ ABQ
But in ∆ PTQ,
∠ TPA + ∠ TQA + ∠ PTQ = 180°
⇒ ∠ TPA + ∠ TQA = 180° – ∠ PTQ
⇒ ∠ PBQ = 180°- ∠ PTQ
⇒ ∠ PBQ + ∠PTQ = 180°
But there are the opposite angles of the quadrilateral
∴ Quad. PBQT is a cyclic
Hence P, B. Q and T are concyclic     Q.E.D.

Question 12.
In the figure; PA is a tangent to the circle. PBC is secant and AD bisects angle BAC.
Show that triangle PAD is an isosceles triangle. Also shaw that:

Solution:
Given: In a circle PA is the tangent, PBC is the secant and AD is the bisector of ∠BAC which meets the secant at D.
To Prove:
(i) ∆ PAD is an isosceles triangle.
(ii) ∠CAD = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ [(∠PBA – ∠PAB)]
Proof:
(i) PA is the tangent and AB is chord.
∠PAB = ∠C ….(i)
(Angles in the alt. segment)
AD is the bisector is ∠BAC
∴ ∠1 = ∠2 ….(ii)
Ext. ∠ADP = ∠C + ∠1
= ∠PAB + ∠2 = ∠PAD
∴ ∆ PAD is an isosceles triangle.
(ii) In A ABC,
Ext. ∠PBA = ∠C + ∠BAC
∴∠BAC = ∠PBA – ∠C
⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 = ∠PBA – ∠PAB [from (i)]
⇒ 2 ∠1 = ∠PBA – ∠PAB
⇒ ∠1 = – [∠PBA – ∠PAB]
⇒ ∠CAD = – [∠PBA – ∠PAB] Q.E.D.

Question 13.
Two circles intersect each other at points A and B. Their common tangent touches the circles v at points P and Q as shown in the figure . Show that the angles PAQ and PBQ arc supplementary. [2000]

Solution:
Given: Two circles intersect each other at A and
B. A common tangent touches the circles at P and
Q. PA. PB, QA and QB are joined.
To Prove: ∠ PAQ + ∠ PBQ = 180°
or ∠ PAQ and ∠ PBQ are supplementary.
Construction: Join AB.
Proof: PQ is the tangent and AB is the chord
∴ ∠ QPA = ∠ PBA (alternate segment) ,…(i)
Similarly we can prove that
∠ PQA = ∠ QBA ,…(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
∠ QPA + ∠ PQA = ∠ PBA + ∠ QBA
But ∠ QPA + ∠ PQA = 180° – ∠ PAQ ,…(iii) (In ∆ PAQ)
and ∠ PBA + ∠ QBA = ∠ PBQ ,…(iv)
from (iii) and (iv)
∠ PBQ = 180° – ∠ PAQ
⇒ ∠ PBQ + ∠ PAQ = 180°
= ∠ PAQ + ∠ PBQ = 180°
Hence ∠ PAQ and ∠ PBQ arc supplementary Q.E.D.

Question 14.
In the figure, chords AE and BC intersect each other at point D.
(i) If ∠ CDE = 90°.
AB = 5 cm, BD = 4 cm and CD 9 cm;
Find DE.
(ii) If AD = BD, show that AE = BC.

Solution:

Question 15.
Circles with centres P and Q intersect at points A and B as shown in the figure. CBD is a line segment and EBM is tangent to the circle, with centre Q, at point B. If the circles arc congruent; show that CE = BD.

Solution:

Given: Two circles with centre P and Q intersect each other at A and B. CBD is a line segment and EBM is tangent to the circle with centre Q, at B. Radii of the cirlces are equal.
To Prove: CE = BD
Proof: EBM is the tangent and BD is the chord
∴ ∠ DBM = ∠ BAD (Anglesi in alt. segment)
But ∠ DBM = ∠ CBE (Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ∠ BAD = ∠ CBE
∵ In the same circle or congruent circles, if angles are equal, then chords opposite to them are also equal.
∴ CE = BD Q.E.D.

Question 16.
In the following figure O is the centre of ti.e circle and AB is a tangent to it at point B. ∠BDC = 65°, Find ∠BAO

Solution:
Given: ∠BDC = 65° and AB is tangent to circle with centre O.
⇒ OB ⊥ AB
In ∆BDC
∠DBC + ∠BDC + ∠B CD = 180°
90° + 65° + ∠BCD =180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 25°
∵ OE = OC = radius
⇒ ∠OEC = ∠OCE
⇒ ∠OEC = 25°
Also, ∠BOE = ∠OEC + ∠OCE
[Exterior angle = sum of opposite interior angles in a ∆]
⇒ ∠BOE = 25°+ 25°
⇒∠BOE = 50°
⇒ ∠BOA = 50°
In ∆AOB
∠AOB + ∠BAO + ∠OBA = 180°
50° + ∠BAO + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAO = 40°

Solution:
AB is the diameter and AC is the chord
∴ AB = 20 cm and AC = 12 cm
Draw OL ⊥ AC
∵ OL ⊥ AC and hence it bisects AC, O is the center of the circle.

Question 6.
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which BC is parallel to AD, angle ADC = 110° and angle BAC = 50°. Find angle DAC and angle DCA.
Solution:

∠ ADC = 110°, ∠ BAC = 50°
∠B + ∠D= 180° (Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
⇒∠B + 110°= 180°
∴ ∠ B or ∠ ABC = 180° – 110° – 70″
Now. in ∆ ABC,
∠ BAC + ∠ ABC – ∠ ACB = 180°
⇒ 50° + 70° + ∠ ACB – 180°

OL ⊥ AC and hence it bisects AC, O is the center of the circle.
OL ⊥ AC and hence it bisects AC, O is the center of the circle.
∴ ∠ DAC = ∠ ACB (Alternate angles)
= 60°
∠ DAC + ∠ ADC + ∠ DCA -= 180°
60°+ 110° + ∠ DCA = 180°
170° + ∠ DCA – 180°
∴ ∠ DCA = 180″ – 170° = 10°

Question 7.
In the given figure, C and D arc points on the semi-circle described on AB as diameter. Given angle BAD = 70° and angle DBC = 30°. calculate angle BDC.

Solution:
∴ ABCD is a cyclic quad.
∠ BAD ∠ BCD 180 (Sum of opposite angles)
⇒ 70° + ∠ BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠ BCD = 180°- 70° = 110°
Now in ∆ BCD,
∠ BCD + ∠ DBC + ∠ BDC = 180°
⇒ 30°+ 110° + ∠ BDC = 180°
⇒ 140°+ ∠ BDC = 180°
∴ ∠ BDC = 180°- 140° = 40°

∴ ∠ ADB = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
Now in right angled ∆s ABD and ACD,
Hypotenuse AB = AC (given)
∴ ∆ ABD ≅ ∆ ACD (RHS postulate)
BD = DC (C.P.C.T.)
Hence the circle bisects base BC at D. Q.ED.

Question 11.
In the flgure; AB is the chord of a circle with centre O and DOC is a line segment such that BC = DO. If ∠ C = 20°, find angle AOD.

Solution:

Join OB
In ∆ OBC, BC = OD = OB (radii of the circle)
∴ ∠ BOC = ∠ BCO = 20°
and Ext. ∠ ABO = ∠ BCO + ∠ BOC
= 20°+ 20° = 40° ….(i)
In ∆ OAB, OA = OB (radii of the circle)
∴ ∠ OAB = ∠ OBA = 40° [from (i)]
∠ AOB = 180°- ∠ OAB – ∠ OBA
= 180°-40°-40°= 100°
∵ DOC is a line
∴ ∠ AOD + ∠ AOB + ∠ BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠ AOD + 100° + 20° = 180°
⇒ ∠ AOD + 120° = 180°
∴ ∠ AOD = 180° – 120° = 60°

Question 12.

D and d are the diameters of circumcircle and incircle of ∆ ABC.
To Prove: AB +BC + CA = 2D + d.
Construction: Join OL, OM and ON.
Proof: In circumcircle of ∆ ABC,
∠ B = 90° (given)
∴ AB is the diameter of circumcircle i.e. AB = D.
Let radius of incircle = r
∴ OL = OM = ON = r
Now from B, BL, BM are the tangents to the incircle
∴ BL = OM = r
Similarly we can prove that:
AM = AN and CL = CN = R (radius)
(Tagents from the point outside the circle)
Now AB + BC + CA = AM + BM + BL + CL + CA
= AN + r + r + CN + CA
= AN + CN + 2r + CA
= AC + AC + 2r = 2 AC + 2r = 2D + d Q.E.D.

Solution:
(i) PQ is the tangent and CD is the chord
∴ ∠ DCQ = ∠ DBC (angles in the alternate segment)
∴ ∠ DBC = 40° (∵ ∠ DCQ = 40°)
(ii) ∠ DCQ + ∠ DCB + ∠ BCP = 180°
⇒ 40° + 900 + ∠ BCP = 180°(∵ ∠ DCB = 90°)
⇒ 130°+ ∠ BCP = 180°
∵ ∠ BCP =180° -130° = 50°
(iii) In Δ ABD, ∠ BAD = 90° (Angle in a semi circle) and ∠ ABD = 60°

Proof: BCD is the tangent and OC is the radius
∴ OC ⊥ BD
⇒ ∠ OCD = 90°
⇒ ∠ OCA + ∠ ACD = 90° ….(i)
But in ∆ OCA
OA = OC (radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ OCA = ∠ OAC [from (i)]
∠OAC + ∠ACD = 90°

AC = AE (given)
∠ ACD = ∠ AEB (Angles in the same segment)
∠ A = ∠ A (Common)
∆ ADC ≅ ∆ ABE (ASA postulate)
But AC = AE (given)
∴ AC – AB = AE – AD
⇒ BC = DE
Now in ∆ BPC and ∆ DPE,
BC = DE (proved)
∠ C = ∠ E (Angles in the same segment)
∠ CBP = ∠ CDE (Angles in the same segment)
∴ ∆ BPC ≅ ∆ DPE (S.A.S. postulate)
∴ BP=DP (C.P.C.T.)
CP = PE (C.P.C.T.) Q.E.D.

P is any point on the circle. PA and PB are joined.
To find:

(iii) ∠APB
Proof:
(i) In ∆ OAC and ∆OBC,
OC=OC (common)
OA = OB (radius of the circle)
CA = CB (tangents to the circle)
∴ ∆OAC ≅ ∆OBC (SSS axion)
∴ ∠ACO = ∠BCO = 30°
(ii) ∴ ∠ACB = 30° + 30° = 60°
∴ ∠AOB + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB+ 60° =180°
∴ ∠AOB = 180° – 60° = 120°
(iii) Arc AB, subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠APB is in the remaining part of the circle

Solution:

Join PB
∠ BPQ + ∠ BCQ = 180°
⇒ ∠ BPQ + 140° = 180°
∴ ∠ BPQ = 180° – 140° = 40°
Now, in ∆ PBQ,
∠ PBQ + ∠ BPQ + ∠ BQP = 180°
⇒ 90° + 40° + ∠ BQP = 180°
(∠ PBQ = 90° angle in a semicircle)
⇒ 130° + ∠ BQP = 180°
∴ ∠ BQP = 180° – 130°= 50°
∠ PQB + ∠ PAB = 180°
⇒ 50° + ∠ PAB = 180°
∴ ∠ PAB = 180° – 50° = 130°
(ii) Now, in ∆ PAB,
∠ PAB + ∠ APB + ∠ ABP = 180°
⇒ 130° + ∠ APB + ∠ ABP = 180°
⇒ ∠ APB + ∠ ABP = 180° – 130° = 50°
But ∠ APB = ∠ ABP = 25°
∴ (PA = AB)
∠ BAQ = ∠ BPQ = 40°
(Angles in the same segment)
Now, in ∆ ABQ,
∠ AQB + ∠ QAB + ∠ ABQ = 180°
⇒ ∠ AQB + 40° + 115° = 180°
⇒ ∠ AQB + 155° = 180°
⇒ ∠ AQB = 180° – 155° = 25°
(iii) Arc AQ subtends ∠ AOQ at the centre and ∠APQ at the remaining part of the circle,
∠ AOQ = 2 ∠ APQ = 2 x 65° = 130°
Now, in ∆ AOQ,
∠ OAQ = ∠ OQA
(∵ OA = OQ radii of the same circle)
But ∠ OAQ + ∠ OQA + ∠ AOQ = 180°
⇒ ∠ OAQ + ∠ OAQ + 130° = 180°
2 ∠ OAQ = 180° – 130° = 50°
∴ ∠ OAQ = 25°
∵ ∠ OAQ = ∠ AQB (each = 25°)
But these are alternate angles.
∴ AO || BQ.

∴ ∠ PAB = ∠ ABC (Alternate angles) ….(i)
∴ ∠ PAB = ∠ ADQ (from (i) and (ii))
(ii) Arc AB subtends ∠ AOB at the centre and ∠ADB at the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠ AOB = 2 ∠ ADB
= 2 ∠ PAB (In the alt. segment)
= 2 ∠ ADQ [proved in (i)]
(iii) ∵ ∠ BAP = ∠ ADB
(Angles in the alt. segment)
Bui ∠ BAP = ∠ ADQ (Proved in (i))

To Prove: A. Q, B and T on a circle.
Construction: Join PQ.
Proof: AT is the tangent and AP is chord
∴ ∠ TAP = ∠ AQP (Angles in all. segment) …(i)
Similarly ∠ TBP = ∠ BQP ….(ii)
∠ TAP + ∠ TBP = ∠ AQP + ∠ BQP = ∠ AQB …..(iii)
Now, in ∆ TAB,
∠ ATB + ∠ TAP + ∠ TBP = 180°
⇒ ∠ ATB + ∠ AQB = 180° (from (iii)
∴ AQBT is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Hence A, Q, B and T lie on the same circle. Q.E.D.

Solution:

Let CD = x
∴ chords AB and CD intersect each other at outside the circle.
∴ AX.XB = CX.XD
⇒(4+6)x6 = (x + 5)x5
⇒ 10 x 6 = 5x + 25
⇒ 60 = 5x + 25
⇒ 5x = 60 – 25 = 35
∴ x = $$\frac { 35 }{ 5 }$$ = 7
CD = 7 cm

Question 31.

Hence, TP = 8 cm.

Question 32.
In the following figure, a circle is inscribed in the quadrilateral ABCD. If BC = 38 cm. QB = 27 cm, DC = 25 cm and that AD is perpendicular to DC, find the radius of the circle. (1990)

Solution:
A circle with centre is inscribed (see the fig.)
in a quadrilateral ABCD. BC = 38 cm, QB = 27cm,
DC = 25 cm and AD ⊥ BC.
Join OP and QS.
∵ OP and OS are the radii of the circle
∴ OP ⊥ AD and OS ⊥ CD
∴ OPDS is a square
∴ OP = OS – DP = DS.
Let length of radius of the circle = r
then DP = DS = r
∴ CS = 25 – r
∵ EQ = BR = 27 cm (tangents to the circle from B)
∴ CR = BC – BR = 38 – 27 = 11 cm
Similarly CR = CS
∴ 25 – r = 11 ⇒ r = 25 – 11 = 14
∴ Radius of the circle = 14 cm

Question 33.
In the given figure, XY is the diameter of the circle and PQ is a tangent to the circle at Y.

If ∠AXB = 50° and ∠ABX = 70°, find ∠BAY and ∠APY.
Solution:
In the above figure,
XY is a diameter of the circle PQ is tangent to the circle at Y.
∠AXB = 50° and ∠ABX = 70°
(i) In ∆AXB,
∠XAB + ∠ABX + ∠AXB = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ ∠XAB + 70° + 50° = 180°
⇒ ∠XAB + 120° =180°
⇒ ∠XAB = 180° – 120° = 60°
But, ∠XAY = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
∴ ∠BAY = ∠XAY-∠XAB=90°- 60° = 30°
(ii) Similarly ∠XBY=90°(Angle in a semicircle) and ∠CXB = 70°
∴ ∠PBY = ∠XBY-∠XBA =90° – 70° = 20°
∵ ∠BYA = 180° – ∠AXB ( ∵ ∠BYA + ∠AYB = 180°) = 180°- 50° = 130°
∠PYA =∠ABY (Angles in the alternate segment) = ∠PBY = 20°
and ∠PYB = ∠PYA + ∠AYB
= 20° + 130° = 150°
∴ ∠APY = 180°-(∠PYA + ∠ABY)
= 180° -(150° +20°) =180° – 170° = 10°

find :
(i) ∠CBA
(ii) ∠CQB
Solution:

In ∆ ABC,
we have ∠ ACB = 90°
[Angle in a semicircle is 90°]
(i) Also ∠ CBA + ∠ CAB + ∠ ACB = 180° [Angle sum property of a ∆ ]
⇒ ∠ CBA =180°- ∠ CAB – ∠ ACB = 180°-34°-90° = 180°-124° = 56°
(ii) CQ is a tangent at C and CB is a chord of the circle.
⇒ ∴ ∠ QCB = ∠ BAC = 34° [Angles in the alternate segments]
∠ CBQ =180°- ∠ ABC [Linear pair]
⇒ ∠ CBQ = 180°- 56° = 124° [From (i)]
In ∆ BCQ, we have
⇒ ∠ CQB = 180° – (∠ QCB + ∠ CBQ) [Angle sum property of a ∆ ]
= 180° -(34° + 124°) = 180°- 158° = 22°
Hence, ∠CQB = 22°

Question 36.
In the given figure, A O is the centre of the circle. The tangents at B and D intersect each other at point P.

If AB is parallel to CD and ∠ ABC = 55
find :

(ii) ∠ BPD
Solution:

In the given figure,
O is the centre of the circle AB || CD,
∠ ABC = 55° tangents at B and D are drawn which meet at P.
∵ AB || CD
∴ ∠ ABC = ∠ BCD (Alternate angles)
∴ ∠ ABC = 55° (Given)
(i) Now arc BD subtands ∠ BOD at the centre and ∠ BCD at the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠BOD = 2∠BCD = 2 x 55° = 110°
∠OBP = ∠ODP = 90° (∵ BP and DP are tangents)
∴ ∠BOD + ∠BPD = 180°
⇒ 110° +∠BPD =180°
⇒ ∠BPD =180°-110°= 70°
Hence, ∠BOD = 110° and ∠BPD = 70°

Solution:
Given: Two concentric circles with centre O AB and CD are two cords of outer circle which touch the inner circle at P and Q respectively
To prove: AB = CD
Construction : Join OA, OC, OP and OQ
Proof: ∵ OP and OQ are the radii of the inner circle and AB and CD are tangents
∴ OP ⊥ AB and OQ ⊥ CD
and P and Q are the midpoints of AB and CD Now in right AOAP and OCQ,
Side OP = OQ (radii of the inner circle)
Hyp. OA = OC (radii of the outer circle)
∴ ∆OAP = ∆OCQ (R.H.S. axiom)
∴ AP = CQ (c.p.c.t.)
But AP = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ AB and CQ = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ CD
∴ AB = CD Hence proved.

Question 40.
In the figure, given below, O is the centre of the circumcircle of triangle XYZ. Tangents at X and Y intersect at point T. Given ∠XTY = 80° and ∠XOZ = 140°, calculate the value of ∠ZXY.

Solution:
In the figure, a circle with centre O, is the circumcircle of ∆XYZ.
∠XOZ =140° (given)
Tangents from X and Y to the circle meet at T such that ∠XTY = 80°
∵ ∠XTY = 80°
∴ ∠XOY= 180°-80°= 100°
But ∠XOY + ∠YOZ + ∠XOZ = 360° (Angles at a point)
⇒ 100°+∠YOZ+ 140o = 360o
⇒ 240o+∠YOZ =360°
⇒ ∠YOZ =360°- 240°
⇒∠YOZ =120°
Now arc YZ subtends ∠YOZ at the centre and ∠YXZ at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠YOZ = 2 ∠YXZ
⇒ ∠YXZ= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠YOZ ⇒ ∠YXZ = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 120° = 60°

Chords AE and BC interesect each other at D at right angle i.e., ∠CDE = 90°, AB is joined AB = 5cm, BD = 4 cm, CD = 9 cm
Now we have to find AE.
Let DE=xm
Now in right ∆ABD,
AB= AD2 + BD2 (Pythagoras Theorem)
⇒ 25 = AD2 + 16
⇒ AD2 = 25-16 = 9 = (3)2
∵ Chords AE and BC intersect eachothcr at D inside the circle
∴ AD x DE = BD x DC
⇒ 3 x x = 4 x 9
⇒ x= $$\frac { 4×9 }{ 3 }$$ = 12cm;
∴ AE=AD + DE = 3 + 12 = 15 cm

Question 42.
In the given circle with centre O, ∠ABC = 100°, ∠ACD = 40° and CT is a tangent to the circle at C. Find ∠ADC and ∠DCT.

Solution:
∴ ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180°
∠ADC = 180°- 100° = 80°
∠ACD + ∠CDA + ∠D AC =180°
40° + 80° +∠D AC = 180°
∠D AC = 180° – 80° – 40° = 60°
Now ∠DAC = 60°
⇒ ∠DCT = 60° [angle in alt. segment]

Question 43.
In the figure given below, O is the centre of the circle and SP is a tangent. If ∠SRT = 65°, find the values of x,y and z. (2015)

Solution:
In the given figure,
O is the centre of the circle.
SP is tangent ∠SRT =65°.
To find the values of x, y and z
(i) In ∆STR,
∠S = 90° (∵ OS is radius and ST is tangent)
∴ ∠T + ∠R = 90°
⇒ x + 65° = 90°
⇒ x = 90° – 65° = 25°
(ii) Arc CQ subtends ∠SOQ at the centre and
∠STQ at the remaining part of the circle.
∠y = ∠QOS = 2∠T = 2∠x = 2 x 25° = 50°
(iii) In ∆OSP,
∠S = 90°
∴ ∠SOQ or ∠SOP + ∠P = 90°
⇒ y+z=90o
⇒ 50° + z = 90°
⇒ z = 90°-50° = 40°
Hence x = 25°, y = 50° and z = 40°

∴ Volume = π(R2 – r2) x h
= π(R + r)(R-r) x h
= π(10 + 9.75)(10-9.75) x 15 cm3
= πx 19.75 x 0.25 x 15 cm3    ………(ii)
Comparing (i) and (ii), we get
∴ π x 19.75 x 0.25 x 15 = π x
x = 19.75 x 0.25 x 15 cm
= 74.0625 = 74.06 cm

Solution:
Diameter of base of a cylindrical container =42 cm
∴ Radius = $$\frac { 42 }{ 2 }$$ = 21 cm
Size of rectangular solid = 22cmx 14cmx 10.5 cm
∴ Volume of solid = 3234 cm3
∴ Height of water level raise in the container

Question 9.

Solution:
Internal radius of cylindrical container (r) = 10cm
Water upto height (h) = 7 cm
∴ Area of wet surface by the water of the container = 2πrh
= π x 19.75 x 0.25 x 15 cm3                       …(ii)
Comparing (i) and (ii), we get
∴ π x 19.75 x 0.25 x 15 = πx
x = 19.75×0.25x 15 cm
= 74.0625
= 74.06 cm

Question 10.

Solution:
Length of open pipe (h) = 50 cm
External diameter=20 cm
and internal diameter = 6 cm
∴ External radius (R) = $$\frac { 20 }{ 2 }$$ = 10 cm
and internal radius (r) = $$\frac { 6 }{ 2 }$$ = 3 cm
∴ Total surface area of the open pipe

Question 11.
The height and the radius of the base of a cylinder are in the ratio 3:1. If its volume is 1029 πcm3; find its total surface area.
Solution:
Ratio in height and radius of cylinder = 3:1
Let height = 3x
∴ Volume = πr2h = π x 3x x x2 = 3πx3
∴ 3πt3= 1029π

∴ x = 7
∴ Height = 7 x 3=21 cm
Now total surface area = 2πr2 + 2 πrh
= 2 πr (r + h)
= 2 x $$\frac { 22 }{ 7 }$$ x 7(7 + 21)
=44 x 28 = 1232 cm2

Question 12.
The radius of a solid right circular cylinder increases by 20% and its height decreases by 20%. Find the percentage change in its volume.
Solution:
Let radius of the cylinder (r) = 100 cm
and height (h) = 100 cm
∴ Volume = πr2h =π( 100)2 x 100 cm3 = 1000000π cm3
Now radius (R) = 100 + 20 = 120 cm
and new height (h) = 100 – 20 = 80 cm
∴ Volume = π(120)2 x 80
= π x 14400 x 80cm3= 152000π cm3
Percentage change (increase) in the volume

Question 13.
The radius of a solid right circular cylinder decreases by 20% and its height increases by 10%. Find the percentage change in its:
(i) volume
(ii) curved surface area
Solution:
Let radius of the cylinder = 100 cm
and height = 100 cm
∴ Volume = πr2h
= πx 100 x 100 x 100 cm3
= 1000000πcm3
and Curved surface area = 2πrh
= 2 x π x 100 x 100 cm2
=20000π cm2
Decreased radius = 100 – 20 = 80 cm
and increased height = 100 + 10 = 110 cm
∴ Increased volume = π x 80 x 80 x 110 cm3 = 704000π cm3
and increased curved surface =2 x π x 80 x 110 cm2 = 17600πcm2
⇒  Decrease in volume = 1000000π – 704000π = 296000π cm3

Solution:
Volume of water to fill a cylindrical vessel = 3080 cm3
Volume of water to fill it upto 5 cm below = 2310 cm2
Volume of water for 5 cm height =3080- 2310 = 770cm3

Question 16.
Find the volume of the largest cylinder formed when a rectangular piece of paper 44 cm by 33 cm is rolled along it:

Solution:
Sum of outer and inner surface area of a hollow cylinder = 1056 cm2
Volume of metal used =1056 cm3
Height of cylinder (h) = 21 cm
Height = 21 cm
We are given
Outer surface + Inner surface = 1056 cm2
Volume = πR2h – πr2h =1056 cm3
Now, 2πRh + 2πrh =1056

Solution:
Difference in outer and inner curved surface of a hollow cylinder = 352 cm2
Height (h) = 28 cm
Volume of material used = 704 cm3
∴ 2πRh-2πrh = 352
2πh(R-r) = 352

Solution:
Height of cylinder (6) = 24 cm
Radius (r)= $$\frac { 40 }{ 2 }$$ = 20 cm
∴ Volume of water filled in it = πr2h
= π x 20 x 20 x 24 cm3
= 9600π cm3
Radius of small cylindrical bottle = $$\frac { 8 }{ 2 }$$ = 4 cm
and height (6) = 10 cm
∴  Volume of one small bottle = πr2h
π x 4 x 4 x 10 cm3 = 160π cm3
∴ Number of small bottles

Question 24.
Two solid cylinders, one with diameter 60 cm and height 30 cm and the other with radius 30 cm and height 60 cm, are melted and recasted into a third solid cylinder of height 10 cm. Find the diameter of the cylinder formed.
Solution:
Diameter of first cylinder = 60 cm
∴ Radius (R)= $$\frac { 60 }{ 2 }$$ =30 cm
and height (h) = 30 cm
Radius of second cylinder = 30 cm
and height = 60 cm
Volume of first cylinder = πR2h
= π30 x 30 x 30 cm3 = 27000π cm3
and volume of second cylinder = π x 30 x 30 x 60 cm3 = 54000πcm3
Total volume of both cylinders
= 27000π+ 54000π cm3
= 81000π cm3
Volume of third cylinder = 81000π cm3
Height of third cylinder = 10 cm

Solution:
Total surface area of an opened hollow cylinder = 3575 cm2
Area of ring of its base = 357.5 cm2
Height = 14 cm
Let R and r be the outer and inner radius of the ring.
∴ π(R2 – r2) = 357.5

Find the volume and the total surface area of the whole solid [Take π=3.14]

Solution:
Side of the cube = 40 cm
Radius of cylinder = 20 cm
Height (h) = 50 cm
Volume of cube = (40)3 = 64000 cm3
and volume of cylinder = πr2h
= 3.14 x 20 x 20 x 50 cm3
=314×200 = 62800 cm3
∴ Total volume = 64000 + 62800 =126800cm3
Total surface area = (6a2 + 2πrh)
= 6 x 40 x 40 + 2 x 3.14 x 20 x 50 =9600+6280
= 15880 cm2

Question 27.
Two right circular solid cylinders have radii in the ratio 3: 5 and heights in the ratio 2:3. Find the ratio between their:
(i) curved surface areas.
(ii) volumes.
Solution:
The ratio is the radii of two right circular solid cylinder = 3:5
and ratio in their heights = 2:3
(i) Let radius of first cylinder = 3x
and height = 2y
∴ Curved surface area = 2πrh
= 2π(3x) (2y) = 12 πxy
and radius of second cylinder = 5x
and height = 3y
∴  Curved surface = 2πrh
= 2π x 5x 3y
= 30πxy
∴ Ratio in their curved surface
= 12πxy : 30πxy
= 2 :5
(ii) Volume of first cylinder = πr2h
= π(3x)2 x 2y = 18πx2y
and volume of second cylinder = π(5x)2 x 3y
= 75πx2y
∴ Ratio = 18πx2y : 75πx2y
= 6:25

Question 28.
A closed cylindrical tank, made of thin iron sheet, has diameter = 8.4 m and height 5.4 m. How much metal sheet, to the nearest m2, is used in making this tank, if $$\frac { 1 }{ 15 }$$ of the sheet actually used was wasted in making the tank ?
Solution:
Diameter of a closed cylindrical tank=8.4 cm
∴ Radius (r) = $$\frac { 8.4 }{ 2 }$$ = 4.2 m
and height (h) = 5.4 m
∴ Total surface area = 2πr(r + h)
= 2 x $$\frac { 22 }{ 7 }$$ x 4.2(4.2+ 5.4) m2
=26.4 x 9.6 m2=253.44 m2
Area of sheet used in wastage
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 15 }$$ of 253.44= 16.896 m2
Total sheet required = 16.896 +253.44 m2
= 270.336 m2
=270.34 m2 (approx)

OP= OT2+PT2
⇒  (10)2 =(8)2+PT2
⇒  100 = 64+PT2
⇒ PT2 = 100-64 = 36
∴ PT = $$\sqrt{36}$$ = 6 cm

Question 2.
In the given figure O is the centre of the circle and AB is a tangent at B. If AB = 15 cm and AC = 7.5 cm, calculate the radius of the circle.

Solution:

∠OBA = 90° (Radius through the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent)
⇒  OB2 = OA2 – AB2 ⇒ r2 = (r + 7.5)2 – 152
⇒ r2 = r2 + 56.25 + 15r – 225 168.75
⇒   15r= 168.75
⇒  r =$$\frac { 168.75 }{ 75 }$$ ⇒ r=11.25
Hence, radius of the circle = 11.25 cm

∴  QA=QP ….(i)
Similarly, QP and QB are the tangents to the circle with centre O’
∴ QP=QB   ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
QA=QB                           Q.ED.

Solution:
Given: A circle touches the sides AB, BC, CD and DA of quad. ABCD at P,Q,R and S respectively.

To Prove: AB + CD = BC + AD

∴ AP = AS     ….(i)
Similarly, we can prove that,
BP=BQ               ….(ii)
CR=CQ             …(iii)
DR=DS          ….(iv)
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + DS + BQ + CQ
AB + CD = AD + BC
Hence AB + CD = BC + AD.     Q.E.D.

Solution:
Given: In the figure, sides of Δ ABC touch a circle at P, Q, R.
To Prove:
(i) AP + BQ + CR = BP + CQ + AR
(ii) AP + BQ + CR = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ Perimeter of Δ ABC.
Proof :
∵  From B, BQ and BP are the tangents to the circle.
∴ BQ = BP   ….(i)
Similarly we can prove that
AP= AR    ……… (ii)
and CR = CQ  …..(iii)
AP + BQ + CR = BP + CQ + AR ….(iv)
Adding AP + BQ + CR both sides,
2(AP + BQ + CR) = AP + PQ + CQ + QB + AR+CR.
⇒  2 (AP + BQ + CR) = AB + BC + CA
∴ AP + BQ + CR = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ (AB + BC + CA)
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ Perimeter of Δ ABC.            Q.E.D.

Question 11.
Radii of two circles are 6.3 cm and 3.6 cm. State the distance between their centres if
(i) they touch each other externally,
(ii) they touch each other internally.
Solution:
Radius of bigger circle = 6.3 cm

and raduis of smaller circle = 3.6 cm.
(i) Two circles touch each other at P externally. 0 and O’ are the centres of the circles.
Join OP and OP’
OP = 3.6 cm, O’P = 6.3 cm.
OO’ = OP + O’P = 3.6 + 6.3 = 9.9 cm
(ii) If the circles touch each other internally at P.
OP = 3.6 cm and O’P = 6.3 cm.

∴ OO’ = O’P – OP
= 6.3 – 3.6 = 2.7 cm

Question 12.
From a point P outside a circle, with centre O, tangents PA and PB are drawn. Prove that:
(i) ∠AOP = ∠BOP,
(ii) OP is the ⊥ bisector of chord AB.
Solution:
Given:  A circle with centre 0. A point P out side the circle. From P, PA and PB are the tangents to the circle, OP and AB are joined.

To prove:
(i) ∠AOP = ∠BOP
(ii) OP is the perpendicular bisector of chord AB.
Proof : In ∆ AOP and ∆ BOP,
AP = BP (Tangents from P to the circle.)
OP = OP (Common)
OA = OB (Radii of the same circle)
∴ ∆ AOP s ∆ BOP (SSS postulate)
∴∠AOP = ∠BOP (C.P.C.T.)
Now in ∆ OAM and ∆ OBM,
OA = OB (Radii of the same circle)
OM = OM (Common)
∠AOM = ∠BOM (Proved ∠AOP = ∠BOP)
∴ ∆ OAM = ∆ OBM (S.A.S. Postulate)
∴ AM = MB (C.P.C.T.)
and ∠OMA = ∠OMB (C.P.C.T.)
But ∠OMA + ∠OMB = 180° (Linear pair)
∴ ∠OMA = ∠OMB = 90°
Hence OM or OP is the perpendicular bisector of AB. Q.E.D.

Question 13.
In the given figure, two circles touch each other externally at point P, AB is the direct common tangent of these circles. Prove that:
(i) tangent at point P bisects AB.
(ii) Angle APB = 90°

Solution:
Given : Two circles with centre O and O’ touch each other at P externally. AB is the direct common tangent touching the circles at A and B respectively.

AP, BP are joined. TPT’ is the common tangent to the circles.
To Prove : (i) TPT’ bisects AB (ii) ∠APB = 90°
Proof :
∵ TA and TP arc the tangents to the circle
∴ TA = TP …(i)
Similarly TP. = TB ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
TA = TB
∴ TPT’ is the bisector of AB.
Now in ∆ ATP
TA = TP
∴ ∠TAP = ∠TPA
Similarly in A BTP.
∠TBP = ∠TPB
∠TAP + ∠TBP = ∠APB
But ∠TAP + ∠TBP + ∠APB = 180°
∴ ∠APB = ∠TAP + ∠TBP = 90°. Q.E.D.

Question 20.
In quadrilateral ABCD; angle D = 90°, BC = 38 cm and DC = 25 cm. A circle is inscribed in this quadrilateral which touches AB at point Q such that QB = 27 cm. Find the radius of the circle. |1990]
Solution:
BQ and BR arc the tangenls from B to the circle.

∴ BR = BQ = 27 cm.
∴ RC = 38-27 = 11 cm.
Since CR and CS are the tangents from C to the circle
∴ CS = CR= 11 cm.
∴ DS = 25 – 11 = 14 cm.
DS and DP are the tangents to the circle
∴ DS = DP
∴ ∠ PDS = 90° (given)
and OP ⊥ AD, OS ⊥ DC
∴ Radius = DS = 14 cm

Question 21.
In the given, PT touches the circle with centre O at point R. Diameter SQ is produced to meet the tangent TR at P.
Given ∠ SPR = x° and ∠ QRP = y°;
Prove that
(i) ∠ ORS = y°
(ii) Write an expression connecting x and y. [1992]

Solution:
∠ QRP = ∠ OSR = y (Angles in the alternate segment)

But OS = OR (radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ ORS = ∠ OSR = y°
∴ OQ = OR (radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ OQR = ∠ ORQ = 90° – y° ….(i) (OR ⊥ PT)
But in ∆ PQR,
Ext. ∠ OQR = x° + y° ….(ii)
from (i) and (ii)
x° + y° = 90° – y°
⇒ x° + 2y° = 90°

Solution:

Join OC
∴ PA and PC are the tangents
∴ OA ⊥ PA and OC ⊥ PC
∴ ∠ BAC = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$∠BOC
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 120° = 60°
