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

⇒ ∠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.

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

Topic: Sector, Arc and Segment of a Circle

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 =

2× 90o = 445o

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°

Topic: Sector, Arc and Segment of a Circle

In the figure, ∠ABC = 69o, ∠ACB = 31o, find ∠BDC.

Solution

∠BAC = ∠BDC          ...Angles in the segment of the circle

In ΔABC,

∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°       ...Sum of the angles in a triangle

⇒ ∠BAC + 69° + 31° = 180°

⇒ ∠BAC = 180° − 100°

⇒ ∠BAC = 80°

Thus, ∠BDC = 80°

∠BAC = ∠CDE      ...Angles in the segment of the circle

In ΔCDE,

∠CEB = ∠CDE + ∠DCE      ...Exterior angles of the triangle

⇒ 130° = ∠CDE + 20°

⇒ ∠CDE = 110°

Thus, ∠BAC = 110°

Topic: Cyclic Polygons

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

Solution

For chord CD,

∠CBD = ∠CAD      ...Angles in same segment

∠CAD = 70°

∠BAD = ∠BAC + ∠CAD = 30° + 70° = 100°

∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180°     ...Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral

⇒ ∠BCD + 100° = 180°

⇒ ∠BCD = 80°

In △ABC

AB = BC (given)

∠BCA = ∠CAB      ...Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle

∠BCA = 30°

Also, ∠BCD = 80°

∠BCA + ∠ACD = 80°

∠ACD = 50°

∠ECD = 50°

Topic: Cyclic Polygons

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

Solution

Given:

ABCD is a trapezium where non-parallel sides AD and BC are equal.

Construction:

DM and CN are perpendicular drawn on AB from D and C respectively.

To prove:

ABCD is cyclic trapezium.

Proof:

In △DAM and △CBN,

AD = BC       ...Given

∠AMD = ∠BNC      ...Right angles

DM = CN     ...Distance between the parallel lines

△DAM ≅ △CBN by RHS congruence condition.

Now,

∠A = ∠B      ...by CPCT

Also, ∠B + ∠C = 180°      ....Sum of the co-interior angles

⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 180°

Thus, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral as sum of the pair of opposite angles is 180°.

Topic: Non-intersecting, Intersecting, Touching circles

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.

Solution

Given,

Two circles are drawn on the sides AB and AC of the triangle ABC as diameters. The circles intersected at D.

Construction: AD is joined.

To prove: D lies on BC. We have to prove that BDC is a straight line.

Proof:

∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90°        ...Angle in the semi circle

Now,

∠ADB + ∠ADC = 180°

⇒ ∠BDC is straight line.

Thus, D lies on the BC.

Given,

AC is the common hypotenuse. ∠B = ∠D = 90°.

To prove,

∠CAD = ∠CBD

Proof:

Since, ∠ABC and ∠ADC are 90°. 

These angles are in the semi-circle. 

Thus, both the triangles are lying in the semi-circle and AC is the diameter of the circle.

⇒ Points A, B, C and D are concyclic.

Thus, CD is the chord.

⇒ ∠CAD = ∠CBD        ...Angles in the same segment of the circle

Prove that a cyclic parallelogram is a rectangle.

Solution

Given,

ABCD is a cyclic parallelogram.

To prove,

ABCD is a rectangle.

Proof:

∠1 + ∠2 = 180°      ...Opposite angles of a cyclic parallelogram

Also, Opposite angles of a cyclic parallelogram are equal.

Thus,

∠1 = ∠2

⇒ ∠1 + ∠1 = 180°

⇒ ∠1 = 90°

One of the interior angle of the parallelogram is right angled. Thus, ABCD is a rectangle.

Prove that the line of centres of two intersecting circles subtends equal angles at the two points of intersection

Solution

Given:  Two circles with centers A and B, which intersect each other at C and D. 

To prove : ∠ACB = ∠ADB 

Construction : Join AC, AD, BD and BC. 

Proof : In triangles ACB and ADB, we have

AC = AD        ...Radii of the same circle

BC = BD        ...Radii of the same circle

AB = AB        ...Common

Therefore, by SSS criterion of congruence, 

△ACB ≅ △ADB

⇒ ∠ACB = ∠ADB        ...CPCT

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

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.

Topic: Sector, Arc and Segment of a Circle

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 =

1

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

⇒ 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)

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

Also, ∠BDE + ∠CDE = 180 ∘      ...angles in linear pair

Therefore, DE is the right bisector of BC.
