Here, ABCD is a rhombus; we have to prove the four circles described on the four sides of any rhombus ABCD pass through the point of intersection of its diagonals AC and BD.

Let the diagonals AC and BD intersect at O.

We know that the diagonals of a rhombus intersect at right angle.

To prove: Perpendicular bisector of side AB, BC, CD and DA are concurrent i.e, passes through the same point.

Proof:

We know that the perpendicular bisector of every chord of a circle always passes through the centre.

We know that the angle formed in the semicircle is 90°.

Since, ABCD is a rectangle, So

Therefore, AC and BD are diameter of the circle.

In the given figure, two circles intersect at A and B. The centre of the smaller circle is O and it lies on the circumference of the larger circle. If ∠APB = 70°, find ∠ACB.

Consider the smaller circle whose centre is given as ‘O’.

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of the circle is double the angle subtended by the arc in the remaining part of the circle.

So, here we have

Now consider the larger circle and the points ‘A’, ‘C’, ‘B’ and ‘O’ along its circumference. ‘ACBO’ form a cyclic quadrilateral.

In a cyclic quadrilateral it is known that the opposite angles are supplementary, meaning that the opposite angles add up to 180°.

Hence ,the measure of is.

#### Question 2:

In the given figure, two congruent circles with centres O and O' intersect at A and B. If ∠AOB = 50°, then find ∠APB.

Since both the circles are congruent, they will have equal radii. Let their radii be ‘r’.

So, from the given figure we have,

Now, since all the sides of the quadrilateral OBO’A are equal it has to be a rhombus.

One of the properties of a rhombus is that the opposite angles are equal to each other.

So, since it is given that, we can say that the angle opposite it, that is to say that should also have the same value.

Hence we get

Now, consider the first circle with the centre ‘O’ alone. ‘AB’ forms a chord and it subtends an angle of 50° with its centre, that is.

A property of a circle is that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre of the circle is double the angle subtended by the arc in the remaining part of the circle.

Hence the measure of is

#### Question 3:

In the given figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which ∠BAD = 75°, ∠ABD = 58° and ∠ADC = 77°, AC and BD intersect at P. Then, find ∠DPC.

Here we have a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD. The centre of this circle is given as ‘O’.

Since in a cyclic quadrilateral the opposite angles are supplementary, here

Whenever a chord is drawn in a circle two segments are formed. One is called the minor segment while the other is called the major segment. The angle that the chord forms with any point on the circumference of a particular segment is always the same.

Here, ‘CD’ is a chord and ‘A’ and ‘B’ are two points along the circumference on the major segment formed by the chord ‘CD’.

So,

Now,

In any triangle the sum of the interior angles need to be equal to .

Consider the triangle ΔABP,

$\angle PAB+\angle ABP+\angle APB=180°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\angle APB=180°-30°-58°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\angle APB=92°$

From the figure, since ‘AC’ and ‘BD’ intersect at ‘P’ we have,

Hence the measure of is.

Consider the given circle with the centre ‘O’. Let the radius of this circle be ‘r’. ‘AB’ forms a chord and it subtends an angle of 80° with its centre, that is.

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of the circle is double the angle subtended by the arc in the remaining part of the circle.

So, here we have

In any triangle the sum of the interior angles need to be equal to 180°.

Consider the triangle

Since,  , we have. So the above equation now changes to

Considering the triangle ΔABC now,

Hence, the measure of is.

#### Question 5:

In the given figure, A is the centre of the circle. ABCD is a parallelogram and CDE is a straight line. Find ∠BCD : ∠ABE.

It is given that ‘ABCD’ is a parallelogram. But since ‘A’ is the centre of the circle, the lengths of ‘AB’ and ‘AD’ will both be equal to the radius of the circle.

So, we have.

Whenever a parallelogram has two adjacent sides equal then it is a rhombus.

So ‘ABCD’ is a rhombus.

Let.

We know that in a circle the angle subtended by an arc at the centre of the circle is double the angle subtended by the arc in the remaining part of the circle.

By this property we have

In a rhombus the opposite angles are always equal to each other.

So,

Since the sum of all the internal angles in any triangle sums up to in triangle , we have

In the rhombus ‘ABCD’ since one pair of opposite angles are ‘’ the other pair of opposite angles have to be

From the figure we see that,

So now we can write the required ratio as,

Hence the ratio between the given two angles is .

#### Question 6:

In the given figure, AB is a diameter of the circle such that ∠A = 35° and ∠Q = 25°, find ∠PBR.

Let us first consider the triangle ΔABQ.

It is known that in a triangle the sum of all the interior angles add up to 180°.

So here in our triangle ΔABQ we have,

By a property of the circle we know that an angle formed in a semi-circle will be 90°..

In the given circle since ‘AB’ is the diameter of the circle the angle which is formed in a semi-circle will have to be 90°.

So, we have

Now considering the triangle we have,

From the given figure it can be seen that,

Now, we can also say that,

Hence the measure of the angle is 115°.

#### Question 7:

In the given figure, P and Q are centres of two circles intersecting at B and C. ACD is a straight line. Then, ∠BQD =

Consider the circle with the centre ‘P’.

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of the circle is double the angle subtended by the arc in the remaining part of the circle.

So, here we have

Since ‘ACD’ is a straight line, we have

Now let us consider the circle with centre ‘Q’. Here let ‘E’ be any point on the circumference along the major arc ‘BD’. Now ‘CBED’ forms a cyclic quadrilateral.

In a cyclic quadrilateral it is known that the opposite angles are supplementary, meaning that the opposite angles add up to 180°.

So here,

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of the circle is double the angle subtended by the arc in the remaining part of the circle.

So, now we have

Hence, the measure of is .

#### Question 8:

In the given figure, if O is the circumcentre of ∠ABC, then find the value of ∠OBC + ∠BAC.

Since, O is the circumcentre of $△ABC$, So, O would be centre of the circle passing through points A, B and C.

We need to find OAC

We are given the following figure

⇒ ∠ADC = 180 ° − 95° = 85°

This means

⇒ ∠OBC = OCB = 65°

In ΔOBC

Since ÐBAC and ÐBOC are formed on the same base which is chord.

So

Consider ΔBOA which is isosceles triangle.

OAB = 30°

We will represent the given data in the figure

In the diagram AB is the given chord of 16 cm length and OM is the perpendicular distance from the centre to AB.

We will associate the given information in the following figure.

Since AO = r (radius of circle)

AM = (given)

Extended OM to D where MD =

Consider the triangles AOM and triangle AMD

So by SSS property

So AD = AO = r and OD=OM+MD=r

Hence ΔAOD is equilateral triangle

We are given the chord of length 14 cm and perpendicular distance from the centre to the chord is 6 cm. We are asked to find the length of another chord at a distance of 2 cm from the centre.

We have the following figure

We are given AB = 14 cm, OD = 6 cm, MO = 2 cm, PQ = ?

(a) 5 cm

(b) greater than 5 cm

(c) greater than or equal to 5 cm

(d) less than 5 cm

(b) greater than 5 cm

We are given length of a chord to be 10 cm and we have to give information about the radius of the circle.

We are given that an equilateral
ΔABC is inscribed in a circle with centre O. We need to find BOC

We have the following corresponding figure:

We are given AB = BC = AC

Since the sides AB, BC, and AC are these equal chords of the circle.

So, the angle subtended by these chords at the centre will be equal.

Hence

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

(a) rhombus

(b) rectangle

(c) parallelogram

(d) square

(d) square

The given information in the form of the following figure is as follows:

Since, four sides of the quadrilateral ACBD are four chords which subtend equal angles at the centre. Therefore,

(Since AB and CD are perpendicular diameters)

So sides AC, BC, BD and AD are equal, as equal chords subtend equal angle at the centre.

So , AC = CB = BD = DA    …… (1)

We know that diameters subtend an angle of measure 90° on the circle.

So,  …… (2)

From (1) and (2) we can say that is a square.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

We are given that the chord is equal to its radius.

We have to find the angle subtended by this chord at the minor arc.

We have the corresponding figure as follows:

We are given that

AO = OB = AB

So , $△$AOB is an equilateral triangle.

Therefore, we have

AOB = 60°

Since, the angle subtended by any chord at the centre is twice of the angle subtended at any point on the circle.

Take a point P on the minor arc.

So, opposite angles are supplementary. That is

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

(a) 60°

(b) 75°

(c) 90°

(d) 135°

(b) 75°

To solve this problem we need to know that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre of the circle is double the angle subtended by the arc in the remaining part of the circle.

Here we are given that ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ are three points on a circle with centre ‘O’ such that and .

From the figure we see that,

Now, as seen earlier, the angle made by the arc ‘AC’ with the centre of the circle will be twice the angle it makes in any point in the remaining part of the circle.

Since the point ‘C’ lies on the remaining part of the circle, the angle the arc ‘AC’ makes with this point has to be half of the angle ‘AC’ makes with the centre.Therefore we have,

Hence the correct answer is option (b).

(c) ∠APB + ∠AQB = 90°

(d) ∠APB + ∠AQB = 180°

(b)  APB + AQB = 180° or APB = AQB

We are given AB is a chord of the circle; P and Q are two points on the circle different from A and B.

We have following figure.

Case 1: Consider P and Q are on the same side of AB

We know that angle in the same segment are equal.

Hence, APB = AQB

Case 2: Now consider P and Q are on the opposite sides of AB

In this case we have the following figure:

Therefore,

APB + AQB = 180°    (Sum of the pair of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.)

Therefore, APB = AQB or APB + AQB = 180°

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Now according to figure A, B, C are the vertices of ΔABC

In , is perpendicular bisector of BC

So, BD = CD

OB = OC             (Radius of the same circle)

And,

OD = OD         (Common)

Therefore,

We know that angle formed any chord of the circle at the center is twice of the angle formed at the circumference by same chord

Therefore,

Therefore,

Hence proved

#### Question 5:

In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle, BO is the bisector of ∠ABC. Show that AB = AC.

It is given that,ABC is on circumference of circle BD is passing through centre.

Construction: Join A and C to form AC and extend BO to D such that BD be the perpendicular bisector of AC.

Now in  we have

AD = CD           (BD is the perpendicular bisector)

So $\angle BDA=\angle BDC=90°$

(Common)

Hence     (by cpct)

#### Question 6:

In the given figure, O and O' are centres of two circles intersecting at B and C. ACD is a straight line, find x.

It is given that

Two circles having center O and O' and ∠AOB = 130°

And AC is diameter of circle having center O

We have

So

Now, reflex

So

$x°=360°-230°=130°$

Hence,

#### Question 7:

In the given figure, if ∠ACB = 40°, ∠DPB = 120°, find ∠CBD.

It is given that ∠ACB = 40° and ∠DPB = 120°

Construction: Join the point A and B

(Angle in the same segment)

Now in $△BDP$ we have

$\angle DPB+\angle PBD+\angle BDP=180°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒120°+\angle PBD+40°=180°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\angle PBD=20°$

Hence

#### Question 8:

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.

We have to find and

Construction: - O is centre and r is radius and given that chord is equal to radius of circle

Now in we have

AO = OB = BA       ( It is given that chord is equal to radius of circle)

So, is an equilateral triangle

So, $\angle AOB=2\angle ADB$                (The angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle)

Then

So

$\angle AEB=\frac{1}{2}\left(\mathrm{Reflex}\angle AOB\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\frac{1}{2}\left(360°-60°\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=150°$

Therefore,

and

Hence, the angle subtended by the chord at a point on the minor arc is 150° and also at a point on the major arc is 30°.

#### Question 9:

In the given figure, it is given that O is the centre of the circle and ∠AOC = 150°. Find ∠ABC.

It is given that O is the centre of circle and A, B and C are points on circumference.

(Given)

We have to find ABC

The angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

Hence,

#### Question 10:

In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle, prove that ∠x = ∠y + ∠z.

It is given that, O is the center of circle and A, B and C are points on circumference on triangle

We have to prove that x = ∠y + ∠z

∠4
and ∠3 are on same segment

So, ∠4 = ∠3

(Angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle)

…… (1)

(Exterior angle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles)         …… (2)

$\angle 4=\angle z+\angle 1$               (Exterior angle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles)

…… (3)

……(4)

From equation (1) and (4) we have

#### Question 11:

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle and PQ is a diameter. If ∠ROS = 40°, find ∠RTS.

It is given that O is the centre and $\angle ROS=40°$
$\angle RQT+\angle QTR+\angle TRQ=180°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒20°+\angle QTR+90°=180°\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒\angle QTR=70°$
