Hide | Show

જવાબ : AB is the diameter
∴∠APB = 90 (angle in a semi circle is a right angle)
By using alternate segment theorem
We have APB = PAT = 30 
Now, in APB
BAP + APB + BAP = 180      (Angle sum property of triangle)
BAP = 180 − 90 − 30 = 60
Now, BAP = APT + PTA        (Exterior angle property)
60 = 30 + PTA
PTA = 60 − 30 = 30
We know that sides opposite to equal angles are equal.
AP = AT
In right triangle ABP
sinABP= AP/BA
sin30°=AT/BA 1/2=AT/BA
BA : AT = 2 : 1

OB2+PB2=OP2

(20)2+PB2=(29)2

400+PB2=841

PB2=841−400=441

PB=√441 =21

OP2=OT2+TP2   [By Pythagoras' theorem:]

OT=√ [OP2−TP2]= √(252−242) =√(625−576)  =√49 =7 cm

The length of the radius is 7 cm.

In right  triangle AOP
AO2 = OP2 + PA2

(6.5)2 = (2.5)2 + PA2
PA2 = 36
PA = 6 cm
Since, the perpendicular drawn from the centre bisect
the chord.
PA = PB = 6 cm
Now, AB = AP + PB = 6 + 6 = 12 cm
Hence, the length of the chord of the larger circle is 12 cm.

AF + FC = 10 cm 

AD + FC = 10 cm                    .....(B)
BE + EC = 8 cm 

BD + FC = 8 cm                   .....(C)
Adding all these we get
AD + BD +
AD + FC + BD + FC = 30
2(AD + BD + FC) = 30
AD + BD + FC = 15 cm           .....(D)
Solving (A) and (D), we get
FC = 3 cm
Solving (B) and (D), we get
BD = 5 cm

જવાબ : Here, OA=OB And  OAAP,  OABP

∴∠OAP=90ᵒ, OBP=90ᵒ

∴∠OAP+OBP= 90ᵒ +90ᵒ =180ᵒ

Sum of opposite angle of a quadrilateral is 180°.

Hence, A,O,B and P are concyclic.

AOB = 130


Now, In isoceles triangle AOB
AOB + OAB + OBA = 180            [Angle sum property of a triangle]
130 +  2OAB = 1800                          [∵∠OAB = OBA ]
OAB = 25


In the adjoining figure, a circle touches all the four sides of a quadrilateral ABCD whose sides are AB = 6 cm, BC = 9 cm and CD = 8 cm. Find the length of AD            [CBSE 2011]

જવાબ : AB + CD = AD + BC  (In quadrilateral circumscribes a circle, sum of opposites sides is equal to the sum of other opposite sides.)
6 + 8 = AD + 9
AD = 5 cm


In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle and TP is the tangent to the circle from an external point T. If PBT = 30 , prove that BA : AT = 2 : 1             [CBSE 2015]

જવાબ : AB is the chord passing through the centre
So, AB is the diameter
∴∠APB = 90ᵒ (angle in a semi circle is a right angle)


By using alternate segment theorem
We have APB = PAT = 30ᵒ 
Now, in APB
BAP + APB + BAP = 180ᵒ      (Angle sum property of triangle)
BAP = 180ᵒ − 90ᵒ − 30ᵒ = 60ᵒ
Now, BAP = APT + PTA        (Exterior angle property)
60ᵒ = 30ᵒ + PTA
PTA = 60ᵒ − 30ᵒ = 30ᵒ
We know that sides opposite to equal angles are equal.
AP = AT
In right triangle ABP
sinABP=AP/BA

sin30°=AT/BA

12=AT/BA

sinABP=AP/BA

sin30°=AT/BA

12=AT/BA
BA : AT = 2 : 1


In the given figure, a circle with centre O, is inscribed in a quadrilateral ABCD such that it touches the side BC, AB, AD and CD at points P, Q, R and S respectively. If AB = 29 cm, AD = 23 cm, B = 90 and DS = 5 cm then find the radius of the circle.           [CBSE 2008, 13]
https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/content_ck_images/images/127050.png

Hide | Show

જવાબ : DS = DR, AR = AQ  (tangent segments to a circle from the same external point are congruent)
Now, AD = 23 cm
AR + RD = 23
AR = 23 − RD
AR = 23 − 5          [ DS = DR = 5]
AR = 18 cm


Again, AB = 29 cm
AQ + QB = 29
QB = 29 − AQ
QB = 29 − 18          [ AR = AQ = 18]
QB = 11 cm
Since all the angles are in a quadrilateral BQOP are right angles and OP = BQ.
Hence, BQOP is a square.
We know that all the sides of square are equal.
Therefore, BQ = PO = 11 cm
Hence, the radius of the circle is 11 cm.

Suppose CD and AB are two parallel tangents of a circle with centre O
OQC = ORA = 90ᵒ  (radius and tangent are perperpendular)
Now, OQC + POQ = 180       (co-interior angles)
POQ = 180 − 90 = 90
Similarly, Now, ORA + POR = 180       (co-interior angles)
POR = 180 − 90 = 90
Now, POR + POQ = 90 + 90 = 180
Since, POR and POQ are linear pair angles whose sum is 180
Hence, QR is a straight line passing through centre O.


PQ is a chord of length 4.8 cm of a circle of radius 3 cm. The tangent at P and Q intersect at a point T as shown in the figure. Find the length of TP       [CBSE 2013C]

Let TR = y and TP = x

 PR = RQ (perpendicular from the centre to the chord bisects it.)
Now, PR + RQ = 4.8
PR + PR = 4.8
PR = 2.4
Now, in right triangle POR
By Using Pyhthagoras theorem, we have
PO
2 = OR2 + PR2
32 = OR2 + (2.4)2
OR2 = 3.24
OR = 1.8
Now, in right triangle TPR
By Using Pyhthagoras theorem, we have
TP
2 = TR2 + PR2
 x2 = y2 + (2.4)2
 x2 = y2 + 5.76          .....(A)
Again, in right triangle TPQ
By Using Pyhthagoras theorem, we have
TO2 = TP2 + PO2

(y + 1.8)2 = x2 + 32
 y2 + 3.6y + 3.24 = x2 + 9
 y2 + 3.6x2 + 5.76          .....(B)
Solving (A) and (B), we get
x = 4 cm and y = 3.2 cm

TP = 4 cm


In the given figure, a triangle ABC is drawn to circumscribe a circle of radius 3 cm such that the segments BD and DC into which BC is divided by the point of contact D are, of lengths 6 cm and 9 cm respectively. If the area of ABC = 54 cm2 then find the lengths of sides of AB and AC.    [CBSE 2011, '15]

We know that tangent segments to a circle from the same external point are congruent.
Now, we have
AE = AF, BD = BE = 6 cm and CD = CF = 9 cm
Now,
Area(ABC)=Area(BOC)+Area(AOB)+Area(AOC)

54= ½ ×BC×OD+  ½ ×AB×OE + ½ ×AC×OF

108=15×3+(6+x)×3+(9+x)×3

36=15+6+x+9+x

36=30+2x

2x=6

x=3 cm
  AB = 6 + 3 = 9cm and AC = 9 + 3 = 12 cm


In the given figure, O is the centre of two concentric circles of radii 4 cm and 6 cm respectively. PA and PB are tangents to the outer and inner circles, respectively. If PA = 10 cm, find the length of PB up to one decimal place.
https://img-nm.mnimgs.com/img/study_content/content_ck_images/images/8(151).png

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Given-  O is the centre of two concentric circles of radii OA=6 cm and OB=4 cm.

OAP=OBP=90ᵒ

From right angled  OAP,  OP2=OA2+PA2

=>OP=√(OA2+PA2 )

=>OP=√(62+102)

=>OP=√136 cm.

From right-angled OAP,  OP2 =OB2 +PB2

 =>PB=√(OP2−OB2)  

 =>PB=√(136−16)

 =>PB=√120 cm

=>PB=10.9 cm.

The length of PB is 10.9 cm.
