CIRCLES(EXTRA QUESTIONS)

1. If the angle between two tangents drawn from an external


point 𝑃 to a circle of radius 𝑎 and centre , is 60°, then find the
length of 𝑂𝑃.
2. 𝑃𝑄 is a tangent drawn from an external point 𝑃 to a circle with
centre 𝑂, 𝑄𝑂𝑅 is the diameter of the circle. If ∠ 𝑃𝑂𝑅 = 120°,
what is the measure of ∠ 𝑂𝑃𝑄?
3. In the given figure 𝑃𝐴 and 𝑃𝐵 are tangents to a circle with
centre 𝑂. If ∠𝐴𝑃𝐵 = (2𝑥 + 3)° and ∠𝐴𝑂𝐵 = (3𝑥 + 7)°, then find
the value of 𝑥.

4. In figure, 𝑃𝑄 is a tangent at a point 𝐶 to a circle with centre 𝑂.


If 𝐴𝐵 is a diameter and ∠𝐶𝐴𝐵 = 30°, find ∠𝑃𝐶𝐴.

5. A tangent 𝑃𝑄 at a point 𝑃 of a circle of radius 5 𝑐𝑚 meets a line


through the centre 𝑂 at a point 𝑄 so that 𝑂𝑄 = 13 𝑐𝑚. Find the
length 𝑃𝑄.
6. In Figure, 𝐶𝑃 and 𝐶𝑄 are tangents to a circle with centre 𝑂.
𝐴𝑅𝐵 is another tangent touching the circle at 𝑅. If 𝐶𝑃 = 11 𝑐𝑚,
and 𝐵𝐶 = 7 𝑐𝑚, then find the length of 𝐵𝑅.
7. Using the figure given below, prove that 𝐴𝑅 = (perimeter of
triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶)

8. Prove that the lengths of tangents drawn from an external


point to a circle are equal. Using the above, prove the
following: 𝐴𝐵𝐶 is an isosceles triangle in which 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐴𝐶,
circumscribed about a circle, as shown in Fig. Prove that the
base is bisected by the point of contact.

9. In 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
