Topic: Chords of Circle
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.
Solution
Let us consider a circle with center O and two equal chords of a circle AB and CD.
We need to prove that ∠AOB = ∠COD
In △ AOB and COD, we have
AO = CO (Radius of the circle)
BO = DO (Radius of the circle)
AB = CD (Equal chords)
By SSS criterion of congruence, we have
△AOB ≅ △COD

Take two congruent circles, and let their centres be O1 and O2
Let, the chords making equal angles at centres be AB and CD respectively for two circles.
Let the radius of both circles be r.
We know that O1A = O1B = O2C = O2D.
Since, O1A = O1B = O2C = O2D, we get,
∠O1AB = ∠O1BA∠O2CD = ∠O2DC.
So, we get ∠AO1B = ∠CO2D.
So, by SAS congruency, we get triangle AO1B is congruent to triangle CO2D.
∴ AB = CD, which implies that the length of chords are equal.

Topic: Introduction
Draw different pairs of circles. How many points does each pair have in common? What is the maximum number of common points?
Solution
As we can see from the figure, that two circles have two points in common.
Two circles cannot intersect each other at more than two points.
Let us assume that two circles cut each other at three points.
But we already know that through three points only one circle can pass.
So, two circles if intersect each other will intersect at maximum two points.

Let the two circles have centres O and Q and they intersect at two points A and B.
Then, AB is the common chord of the two circles.
OQ is the line joining the centres of the two circles. Let OQ cuts AB at P.
We need to prove OQ is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
Draw line segment OA, OB, QA and QB.
In △OAQ and △OBQ,
OA = OB ....(Radius of the circle)
QA = QB ...(Radius of the circle)
and OQ = OQ ....(common side)
△OAQ ≅ △OBQ ....SSS test of congruence
⇒ ∠AOQ = ∠BOQ ....c.a.c.t. ....(1)
[Since ∠AOQ = ∠AOP and ∠BOP = ∠BOQ]
In triangles AOP and BOP,
OA = OB ....(Radius of the circle)
∠AOP = ∠BOP .....From (1)
OP = OP .....Common side
△AOP ≅ △BOP ....SAS test of congruence,
⇒ AP = BP and ∠APO = ∠BPO
But, ∠APO + ∠BPO = 180o
2∠APO = 180o ⇒ ∠APO = 90o
AP = BP and ∠APO = ∠BPO = 90o
Hence, OQ is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

Topic: Non-intersecting, Intersecting, Touching circles
Two circles of radii 5cm and 3cm intersect at two points and the distance between their centres is 4cm. Find the length of the common chord.
Solution

Let the common chord be AB and P and Q be the centers of the two circles.
∴ AP = 5cm and AQ = 3cm.
PQ = 4cm ....given
Now, segPQ ⊥ chord AB
∴ AR = RB =1
2AB ....perpendicular from center to the chord, bisects the chord
Let PR = xcm, so RQ = (4 − x)cm
In △ARP,
AP2 = AR2 + PR2
AR2 = 52 − x2 ...(1)
In △ARQ,
AQ2 = AR2 + QR2
AR2 = 32 − (4 − x)2 ...(2)
∴ 52 − x2 = 32 − (4 − x)2 ....from (1) & (2)
25 − x2 = 9 − (16 − 8x + x2)
25 − x2 = − 7 + 8x − x2
32 = 8x
∴ x = 4
Substitute in eq(1) we get,
AR2 = 25 − 16 = 9
∴ AR = 3cm.
∴ AB = 2 × AR = 2 × 3
∴ AB = 6 cm.
So, length of common chord AB is 6 cm.

Drop a perpendicular from O to both chords AB and CD
In △OMP and △ONP
As chords are equal, perpendicular from centre would also be equal.
OM = ON
OP is common.
∠OMP = ∠ONP = 90o
△OMP ≅ △ONP (RHS Congruence)
PM = PN ......................(1)
AM = BM (Perpendicular from centre bisects the chord)
Similarly ,CN = DN
As AB = CD
AB − AM = CD − DN
BM = CN .........................(2)
From (1) and (2)
BM − PM = CN − PN
PB = PC
AM = DN(Half the length of equal chords are equal)
AM + PM = DN + PN
AP = PD
Therefore , PB = PC and AP = PD is proved.

Let us consider a circle with centre O and AB and CD be the chords which intersect at M
According to the question, AB = CD.
We need to prove ∠OME = ∠OMF
Drop perpendiculars OE and OF on AB and CD respectively and join OM.
In triangles OEM and OFM ,
OE = OF (equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre)
OM = OM (common side)
∠OEM = ∠OFM (both equal to 90o)
By RHS criterion of congruence,
△OEM ≅ △OFM
⇒ ∠OME = ∠OMF (by C.P.C.T.)
#464039
Topic: Chords of Circle
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)
Solution
We know that, OA = OD and OB = OC.
They are radius of respective circles.
In ΔOBC, we know that OB = OC, so ∠OBC = ∠OCB
∴ ∠OCD = ∠OBA
In ΔOAD, we know that OA = OD, so ∠OAD = ∠ODA
Since, ∠OCD = ∠OBA and ∠OAD = ∠ODA, we get ∠AOB in ΔOAB is equal to ∠COD in ΔOCD.
∴ From SAS congruency, we can say that ΔOAB and ΔOCD are congruent.
So, AB = CD.

Topic: Chords of Circle
Three girls Reshma, Salma and Mandip are playing a game by standing on a circle of radius 5m 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 6m each, what is the distance between Reshma and Mandip?
Solution
Let the three girls Reshma, Salma and Mandip are standing on the circle of radius 5 cm at points R, S and M respectively.
Here, chord RS = chord SM.
∴ center O lies on bisector of ∠RSM i.e. ray OS
Now, RS = SM = 6 m.
Let OA ⊥ chord RM
RA = AM ....perpendicular from center to the chord, bisects the chord.
In △SAR, ∠A = 90o
SR2 = SA2 + RA2 ....Pyhtagoras theorem
⇒ 36 = SA2 + RA2
⇒ RA2 = 36 − SA2 ... (1)
In the △OAR,
RO2 = AO2 + RA2 ....Pythagoras theorem
⇒ 25 = (OS − AS)2 + RA2
⇒ RA2 = 25 − (OS − AS)2
RA2 = 25 − (5 − AS)2 ... (2)
From (1) and (2) , we get
36 − SA2 = 25 − (5 − SA)2
⇒ 11 − SA2 + (5 − SA)2 = 0
⇒ 11 − SA2 + 25 − 10SA + AS2 = 0
⇒ 10SA = 36
⇒ SA = 3.6
Putting SA = 3.6 in (1) we get
RA2 = 3.6 − (3.6)2 = 36 − 12.96
⇒ 36 − 12.96 = 23.04 m
∴ RA = 4.8m
⇒ RM = 2RA = 2 × 4.8 = 9.6 m
Hence, the distance between Reshma and Mandip = 9.6 m

In the figure A, B and C are three points on a circle with centre O such that ∠BOC = 30o and ∠AOB = 60o. If D is a point on the circle other than the arc ABC, find ∠ADC.
Solution
Here,
∠AOC = ∠AOB + ∠BOC
⇒ ∠AOC = 60° + 30°
⇒ ∠AOC = 90°
We know that angle subtended by an arc at centre is double the angle subtended by it any point on the remaining part of the circle.
∠ADC =1
2∠AOC =

Topic: Cyclic Polygons
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.
Solution
Given,
AB is equal to the radius of the circle.
In △OAB,
OA = OB = AB = radius of the circle.
Thus, △OAB is an equilateral triangle.
∠AOC = 60°
Also, ∠ACB =1
2∠AOB =
1
2× 60° = 30°
ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∠ACB + ∠ADB = 180° ∣ Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral
⇒ ∠ADB = 180° − 30° = 150°
Thus, angle subtend by the chord at a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc are 150° and 30° respectively.

In the figure, ∠PQR = 100o, where P, Q and R are points on a circle with centre O. Find ∠OPR.
Solution
Reflex ∠POR = 2 × ∠PQR = 2 × 100° = 200°
∴ ∠POR = 360° − 200° = 160°
In ΔOPR,
OP = OR ...Radii of the circle
∠OPR = ∠ORP
Now,
∠OPR + ∠ORP + ∠POR = 180° ...Sum of the angles in a triangle
⇒ ∠OPR + ∠OPR + 160° = 180°
⇒ 2∠OPR = 180° − 160°
⇒ ∠OPR = 10°

In ΔABC,
∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180° ...Sum of the angles in a triangle
⇒ ∠BAC + 69° + 31° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC = 180° − 100°

∠BAC = ∠CDE ...Angles in the segment of the circle
In ΔCDE,

∠CAD = 70°
∠BAD = ∠BAC + ∠CAD = 30° + 70° = 100°
∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180° ...Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral

⇒ ∠BCD = 80°
In △ABC
AB = BC (given)
∠BCA = ∠CAB ...Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle
∠BCA = 30°

Join OA and OC.
Let the radius of the circle be r cm and O be the centre
Draw OP⊥AB and OQ⊥CD.
We know, OQ⊥CD, OP⊥AB and AB ∥ CD.
Therefore, points P, O and Q are collinear. So, PQ = 6 cm.
Let OP = x.
Then, OQ = (6– x) cm.
And OA = OC = r.
Also, AP = PB = 2.5 cm and CQ = QD = 5.5 cm.
(Perpendicular from the centre to a chord of the circle bisects the chord.)
In right triangles QAP and OCQ, we have
OA2 = OP2 + AP2 and OC2 = OQ2 + CQ2
∴ r2 = x2 + (2.5)2 ..... (1)
and r2 = (6 − x)2 + (5.5)2 ..... (2)
⇒ x2 + (2.5)2 = (6 − x)2 + (5.5)2
⇒ x2 + 6.25 = 36 − 12x + x2 + 30.25
12x = 60
∴ x = 5
Putting x = 5 in (1), we get
r2 = 52 + (2.5)2 = 25 + 6.25 = 31.25
⇒ r2 = 31.25 ⇒ r = 5.6
Hence, the radius of the circle is 5.6 cm

The lengths of two parallel chords of a circle are 6 cm and 8 cm. If the smaller chord is at distance 4 cm from the centre, what is the distance of the other chord from the
centre?
Solution

There are two parallel chords of length 8 cm and 6 cm.
The distance between center and shortest chord (6cm chord) is 4cm.
So, the perpendicular distance from center to shortest chord is 4cm.
The perpendicular line from center to chord divides chord into two equal parts.
So, the radius of circle is √32 + 42 = 5.
Since, the radius is 5.
The distance from center to largest chord is √52 − 42 = 3.

Let the vertex of an angle ABC be located outside a circle and let the sides of the angle intersect equal chords AD and CE with the circle. Prove that ∠ABC is equal to half the
difference of the angles subtended by the chords AC and DE at the centre.
Solution
In △BDC,
∠ADC is the exterior angle
∴ ∠ADC = ∠DBC + ∠DCB .... (1)
(The measure of exterior angle is equal to sum of the remote interior angles)
By inscribed angle theorem,
∠ADC =1
2∠AOC and ∠DCB =

2∠DOE ....... (2)
From (1) and (2), we have
1
2∠AOC = ∠ABC +
1
2∠DOE ...[Since ∠DBC = ∠ABC]
⇒ ∠ABC =1
2(∠AOC − ∠DOE)
Hence, ∠ABC is equal to half the difference of angles subtended by the chords AC and DE at the centre.

Let us consider rhombus ABCD with the two diagonals as AC and BD. Consider O as the point of intersection of diagonals.
Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
We need to prove that circle drawn on AB as diameter will pass through O.
Draw lines MN and XY such that MN ∥ AD and XY ∥ AB such that M and N are mid-points of AB and CD.
AB = DC
⇒1
2AB =

AM = DN (M and N are mid-points of AB and CD)
Similarly, AX = OM
⇒ AN = ON = NB
A circle drawn with N as centre and radius AN passes through A, O and B.
Circle obtained is the required circle.

From the figure,
⇒ ∠ADE + ∠ADC = 180o (Linear pair) ....... (i)
Also, ◻ABCE is a cyclic quadrilateral.
So, ∠AED + ∠ABC = 180o ....... (ii) (opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral sum upto 180o)
∠ADC = ∠ABC ....... (iii) (Opposite angles of a parallellogram are equal)
Using (i), (ii) and (iii),
∠AED + ∠ABC = ∠ADE + ∠ABC
⇒ ∠AED = ∠ADE
Now, In △AED,
∠AED = ∠ADE
⇒ AD = DE (Sides opposite to equal angles)

(i) It is given that AB and CD are the two chords of a circle
Let the point of intersection be O.
Join AB, BC, CD and AD.
In triangles AOB and COD,
∠AOB = ∠COD ...(Vertically opposite angles)
OB = OD ....(O is the mid-point of BD)
OA = OC ....(O is the mid-point of AC)
△AOB ≅ △COD ....SAS test of congruence
∴ AB = CD ....c.s.c.t.
Similarly, we can prove △AOD ≅ △BOC, then we get
AD = BC ....c.s.c.t.
So, ◻ABCD is a parallelogram, since opposite sides are equal in length.
So, opposite angles are equal as well.
So, ∠A = ∠C
Also, for a cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles add up to 180o
So, ∠A + ∠C = 180o
∠A + ∠A = 180o
∠A = 90o
So, BD is the diameter. Similarly, AC is also the diameter.
ii) Since AC and BD are diameters,
∴ ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90o ...Angle inscribed in a semi circle is a right angle
Hence, parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle

AO = CO ....AC and BD bisect each other
BO = DO ....AC and BD bisect each other
∠ABO = ∠COD ...Vertically opposite angles
△AOB ≅ △COD ...[SAS test]
⇒ ∠BAO i.e., ∠BAC = ∠ABO i.e., ∠ABD
⇒ AC ∥ BD
Again, △AOD ≅ △COB ...[SAS test]
⇒ AD ∥ CB
⇒ ABCD is a cyclic parallelogram.
⇒ ∠DAC = ∠DBA.............. (1)
[Opp.angles of a parallelogram are equal]
Also, ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral
Therefore ∠DAC + ∠DBA = 180 ∘ ................ (2)
From (1) and (2), we get
∠DAC = ∠DBA = 90 ∘
Hence, ABCD is a rectangle.

In any triangle ABC, if the angle bisector ∠A and perpendicular bisector of BC intersect, prove that they intersect on the circumcircle of the triangle ABC.
Solution
∠BAE = ∠CAE ....Angles inscribed in the same arc
∴ arc BE = arc CE
∴ chord BE ≅ chord CE ...(1)
In △BDE and △CDE,
BE = CE ....from (1)
BD = CD ...ED is perpendicular bisector of BC
DE = DE ...common side
∴ △BDE ≅ △CDE ...SSS test of congruence
