EXERCISE 10.

1.  Prove that the line of centres of two intersecting circles subtends equal angles at the two points of
intersection.
Solution:
Consider the following diagram

In ΔPOO’ and ΔQOO’


OP = OQ          (Radius of circle 1)
O’P = O’Q        (Radius of circle 2)
OO’ = OO’        (Common arm)
So, by SSS congruency, ΔPOO’ ≅ ΔQOO’
Thus, ∠OPO’ = ∠OQO’ (proved).
2. Two chords AB and CD of lengths 5 cm and 11 cm respectively of a circle are parallel to each other and
are on opposite sides of its centre. If the distance between AB and CD is 6 , find the radius of the circle.
Solution:

Here, OM ⊥ AB and ON ⊥ CD. is drawn and OB and OD are joined.


We know that AB bisects BM as the perpendicular from the centre bisects chord.
Since AB = 5 so,
BM = AB/2 = 5/2
Similarly, ND = CD/2 = 11/2
Now, let ON be x.
So, OM = 6−x.
Consider ΔMOB,
OB2 = OM2+MB2
Or,

Consider ΔNOD,
OD2 = ON2 + ND2
Or

We know, OB = OD (radii)
From equation 1 and equation 2 we get

Now, from equation (2) we have,


OD2= 12 +(121/4)
Or OD = (5/2)×√5 cm
3. The lengths of two parallel chords of a circle are 6 cm and 8 cm. If the smaller chord is at a distance 4 cm
from the centre, what is the distance of the other chord from the centre?
Solution:
Consider the following diagram

Here AB and CD are 2 parallel chords. Now, join OB and OD.


Distance of smaller chord AB from the centre of the circle = 4 cm
So, OM = 4 cm
MB = AB/2 = 3 cm
Consider ΔOMB
OB2 = OM2+MB2
Or, OB = 5cm
Now, consider ΔOND,
OB = OD = 5 (since they are the radii)
ND = CD/2 = 4 cm
Now, OD2= ON2+ND2
Or, ON = 3 cm.
4. 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:
Consider the diagram

Here AD = CE
We know, any exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of interior opposite angles.
So,
∠DAE = ∠ABC+∠AEC (in ΔBAE) ——————-(i)
DE subtends ∠DOE at the centre and ∠DAE in the remaining part of the circle.
So,
∠DAE = (½)∠DOE ——————-(ii)
Similarly, ∠AEC = (½)∠AOC  ——————-(iii)
Now, from equation (i), (ii), and (iii) we get,
(½)∠DOE = ∠ABC+(½)∠AOC
Or, ∠ABC = (½)[∠DOE-∠AOC]  (hence proved).
5. Prove that the circle drawn with any side of a rhombus as diameter, passes through the point of
intersection of its diagonals.
Solution:
To prove: A circle drawn with Q as centre, will pass through A, B and O (i.e. QA = QB = QO)
Since all sides of a rhombus are equal,
AB = DC
Now, multiply (½) on both sides
(½)AB = (½)DC
So, AQ = DP
BQ = DP
Since Q is the midpoint of AB,
AQ= BQ
Similarly,
RA = SB
Again, as PQ is drawn parallel to AD,
RA = QO
Now, as AQ = BQ and RA = QO we get,
QA = QB = QO (hence proved).
6. ABCD is a parallelogram. The circle through A, B and C intersect CD (produced if necessary) at E. Prove
that AE, = AD.
Solution:

Here, ABCE is a cyclic quadrilateral. In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the opposite angles is 180°.
So, ∠AEC+∠CBA = 180°
As ∠AEC and ∠AED are linear pair,
∠AEC+∠AED = 180°
Or, ∠AED = ∠CBA … (1)
We know in a parallelogram; opposite angles are equal.
So, ∠ADE = ∠CBA … (2)
Now, from equations (1) and (2) we get,
∠AED = ∠ADE
Now, AD and AE are angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle,
∴ AD = AE (proved).
7. AC and BD are chords of a circle which bisect each other. Prove that (i) AC and BD are diameters; (ii)
ABCD is a rectangle.
Solution:

Here chords AB and CD intersect each other at O.


Consider ΔAOB and ΔCOD,
∠AOB = ∠COD (They are vertically opposite angles)
OB = OD (Given in the question)
OA = OC (Given in the question)
So, by SAS congruency, ΔAOB ≅ ΔCOD
Also, AB = CD (By CPCT)
Similarly, ΔAOD ≅ ΔCOB
Or, AD = CB (By CPCT)
In quadrilateral ACBD, opposite sides are equal.
So, ACBD is a parallelogram.
We know that opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
So, ∠A = ∠C
Also, as ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∠A+∠C = 180°
⇒∠A+∠A = 180°
Or, ∠A = 90°
As ACBD is a parallelogram and one of its interior angles is 90°, so, it is a rectangle.
∠A is the angle subtended by chord BD. And as ∠A = 90°, therefore, BD should be the diameter of the circle.
Similarly, AC is the diameter of the circle.
8. Bisectors of angles A, B and C of a triangle ABC intersect its circumcircle at D, E and F respectively.
Prove that the angles of the triangle DEF are 90°–(½)A, 90°–(½)B and 90°–(½)C.
Solution:
Consider the following diagram
Here, ABC is inscribed in a circle with center O and the bisectors of ∠A, ∠B and ∠C intersect the circumcircle at D,
E and F respectively.
Now, join DE, EF and FD
As angles in the same segment are equal, so,
∠EDA = ∠FCA ————-(i)
∠FDA = ∠EBA ————-(i)
By adding equations (i) and (ii) we get,
∠FDA+∠EDA = ∠FCA+∠EBA
Or, ∠FDE = ∠FCA+∠EBA = (½)∠C+(½)∠B
We know, ∠A +∠B+∠C = 180°
So, ∠FDE = (½)[∠C+∠B] = (½)[180°-∠A]
∠FDE = [90-(∠A/2)]
In a similar way,
∠FED = [90° -(∠B/2)] °
And,
∠EFD = [90° -(∠C/2)] °
9. Two congruent circles intersect each other at points A and B. Through A any line segment PAQ is drawn
so that P, Q lie on the two circles. Prove that BP = BQ.
Solution:
The diagram will be

Here, ∠APB = ∠AQB (as AB is the common chord in both the congruent circles.)
Now, consider ΔBPQ,
∠APB = ∠AQB
So, the angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle.
∴ BQ = BP
10. In any triangle ABC, if the angle bisector of ∠A and perpendicular bisector of BC intersect, prove that
they intersect on the circumcircle of the triangle ABC.
Solution:
Consider this diagram

Here, join BE and CE.


Now, since AE is the bisector of ∠BAC,
∠BAE = ∠CAE
Also,
∴arc BE = arc EC
This implies, chord BE = chord EC
Now, consider triangles ΔBDE and ΔCDE,
DE = DE     (It is the common side)
BD = CD     (It is given in the question)
BE = CE      (Already proved)
So, by SSS congruency, ΔBDE ≅ ΔCDE.
Thus, ∴∠BDE = ∠CDE
We know, ∠BDE = ∠CDE = 180°
Or, ∠BDE = ∠CDE = 90°
∴ DE ⊥ BC (hence proved).
