Class 9 Maths Circles Module 3

This document discusses circles and cyclic quadrilaterals. It defines an arc and a chord of a circle, and proves several theorems about the angles they subtend. It shows that the angle subtended by an arc at the center is double the angle at any other point on the circle. It also defines a cyclic quadrilateral as one whose vertices all lie on the same circle, and proves the property that the sum of either pair of opposite angles is 180 degrees. It instructs the reader to draw several examples and record their angle measurements in a table.

CIRCLES
MODULE - 3/3
CIRCLES
In this module we learn about
i) Angle subtended by an arc of a circle.
ii) Cyclic quadrilateral.
Angle subtended by an arc of a
circle.

If two chords of a circle are equal,


then their corresponding arcs are
congruent and conversely, if two
arcs are congruent, then their
corresponding chords are equal.
Congruent arcs (or equal arcs)of a
circle subtend equal angles at the
centre.
Theorem 10.8: The angle subtended by an arc at
the centre is double the angle subtended by it at
any point on the remaining part of the circle.

Given: An arc PQ of a circle subtending angles


POQ at the centre O and PAQ at a point A on the
remaining part of the circle.
Consider the three different cases
i) arc PQ is a minor arc
ii) arc PQ is a semicircle
iii) arc PQ is a major arc.
To prove:- POQ = 2 PAQ.
Construction:- Join AO and extend it to a point B.
Proof:- In all the cases
OA =OP (radii)
OAP = OPA ( angles opposite to equal sides)
POB = OAP + OPA (exterior angle of a triangle is
equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles.)
POB = 2 OAP. --------------- (1)
similarly
QOB = 2 OAQ ------------(2)
Adding (1) and (2) we get
POB+ QOB = 2 OAP+ 2 OAQ
POQ = 2 PAQ
When PQ is a major arc
reflex angle POQ =2PAQ
Theorem 10.9: Angles in the same segment of a circle are
equal.

PAQ = PBQ
Angle in a semicircle is a right angle.

Theorem 10.10: If a line segment joining two points


subtends equal angles at two other points lying on the same
side of the line containing the line segment , the four points
lie on a circle.
CYCLIC QUADRILATERALS

A quadrilateral is called cyclic,


if all the four vertices of it lie on
a circle.
Theorem 10.11 The sum of
either pairs of opposite angles
of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180.

If ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral,


then
A + C= B+ D = 180.
Theorem 10.12: If the sum of a pair of opposite
angles of a quadrilateral is 180, the
quadrilateral is cyclic.

If in quadrilateral ABCD, if A + C=180 or


B+ D = 180, then ABCD is a cyclic
quadrilateral.
Activity.
Draw several cyclic quadrilaterals
of different sides and name each of
these as ABCD. Measure the angles
and write your observations in the
following table. What do you infer
from the table?
