Circle
Circle
1. Recall and review the definition and basic terms related to Circle.
2. Revise statements of basic theorems on Circles.
3. To appreciate the theorems
a. Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre.
b.If the angles subtended by the chords of a circle at the centre are equal, then the chords
are equal.
c. The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
d.The line drawn through the centre of a circle to bisect a chord is perpendicular to the
chord
e. There is one and only one circle passing through three given non-collinear points
f. Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the centre (or centres).
g. Chords equidistant from the centre of a circle are equal in length.
h.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.
i. Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
j. 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 (i.e. they are
concyclic).
k.The sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180º.
3. If the sum of a pair of opposite angles of a quadrilateral is 180º, the quadrilateral is cyclic.
4. Apply Knowledge gained on the topic „Circles‟ to solve problems.
MCQ:-
Q1. In Fig. ,A, B, C and D are four points on a circle. AC and BD intersect at a point E such that ∠BEC=130°
Answer:- (d)
Q1. In Fig, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AC and BD are its diagonals. If ∠ DBC = 55°
and ∠BAC = 45°, find ∠ BCD.
Solution : ∠ CAD = ∠ DBC = 55°

MCQ:-
(a) 600, 1100 (b) 500, 1200 (c) 600, 1200 d) 700, 1300
6. Assertion: A chord of a circle, which is twice as long as its radius, is a diameter of the circle.
Reason: As we know that any chord whose length is twice as long as the radius of the circle always
passes through the centre of the circle
a) both Assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for Assertion
b) both Assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct explanation for Assertion
c) Assertion is correct but reason is false
d) both Assertion and reason are false
Short answer type question:-
1. In the figure, if AB is the diameter of the circle, then find the value of x.
2. 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.
3. If two non- parallel sides of a trapezium are equal, prove that it is cyclic.
4. Prove that a cyclic parallelogram is a rectangle.
5. Show that two circles cannot intersect at more than two points.
