Circles
Circle
• The set of all the points in a plane that is at a fixed distance from a fixed point makes
a circle.
• A Fixed point from which the set of points are at fixed distance is called the centre of
the circle.
• A circle divides the plane into 3 parts: interior (inside the circle), the circle itself and
exterior (outside the circle)
(1)
CIRCLES

• A line can meet a circle at the most in two points and the line segment joining two
points on a circle is called a chord of the circle.
• A chord passing through the center of the circle is called a diameter of the circle. A
diameter of the circle is its longest chord. It is equal to two times the radius.
• A line which meets a circle in two points is called a secant of the circle.

CIRCLES

Sector of a circle
• The part of the plane region enclosed by an arc of a circle and its two bounding radii
(3)
CIRCLES

Segment of a circle
• A chord of a circle divides it into two parts. Each part is called a segment of the circle.
• The part containing the minor arc is called the minor segment, and the part
containing the major arc is called the major segment.
(4)
CIRCLES

• If the angles subtended by the chords of a circle at the centre are equal, then the
chords are equal.
• In a circle, perpendicular from the center to a chord bisects the chord.
• A line drawn through the centre of a circle to bisect a chord is perpendicular to the
chord.
• Perpendicular bisectors of two chords of a circle, intersect each other at the centre
of the circle.
• An infinite number of circles can be drawn through two given points, say A and B.
• One and only one circle can be drawn through three non-collinear points.

the point.
• Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the centre (or
centres).
• Chords equidistant from the centre of a circle are equal in length.
Con-cyclic points
• 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 are con-
cyclic, i.e., they lie on the same circle.
• Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
Angle in a semi-circle
• An angle in a semi-circle is a right angle.
• The arc of a circle subtending a right angle at any point of the circle in its alternate
segment is a semi-circle.
Cyclic quadrilaterals
A quadrilateral, all the four vertices of which lie on a circle is called a cyclic quadrilateral.
The four vertices A, B, C and D are said to be concyclic points.
(6)
CIRCLES
10
• Any exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the interior opposite angle.
• The quadrilateral formed (if possible) by the internal angle bisectors of any
quadrilateral is cyclic.
• The line of centres of two intersecting circles subtends equal angles at the two points
of intersection.

Similarly, O’B ⊥ CD
O’B ⊥ PD
1
⇒ PB = BD = PD
2
⇒ PD = 2PB
Also, CD = CP + PD
= 2AP + 2PB = 2(AP + PB) = 2AB
CD = 2OO’ [∵ OABO’ is a rectangle]
Short Answer:
Ans: 1. Take any point A on the circumcircle of the circle.
Join AP and AR.
∵ APQR is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∴ ∠PAR + ∠PQR = 180° [sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quad. is 180°]
∠PAR + 100° = 180°
⇒ Since ∠POR and ∠PAR are the angles subtended by an arc PR at the Centre of the
circle and circumcircle of the circle.
∠POR = 2∠PAR = 2 x 80° = 160°
∴ In APOR, we have OP = OR [radii of same circle]
∠OPR = ∠ORP [angles opposite to equal sides]
Now, ∠POR + ∠OPR + ∠ORP = 180°
⇒ 160° + ∠OPR + ∠OPR = 180°
⇒ 2∠OPR = 20°
⇒ ∠OPR = 10°
Ans: 2. Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°
∴ ∠DAB + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ 95° + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° – 95° = 85°
∵ BE || DC

Since AC is a diameter.
∴ ∠ABC = ∠ADC = 90°
[∵ angle of a semicircle = 90°]
Also, BD is a diameter
∴ ∠BAD = ∠BCD = 90° [∵ angle of a semicircle = 90°]
Now, all the angles of a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD are 90 each.
Hence, ABCD is a rectangle.
Ans: 4. Given: In a circle C(O, r), chord AB = chord CD
To Prove: ∠AOB = ∠COD.
Proof: In ∆AOB and ∆COD
AO = CO (radii of same circle]
BO = DO [radii of same circle]
Chord AB = Chord CD (given]
⇒ ∆AOB = ACOD [by SSS congruence axiom]
⇒ ∠AOB = COD (c.p.c.t.]
Ans: 5. In AOBC, OB = BC
⇒ ∠BOC = ∠BCO = y [angles opp. to equal sides are equal]

Long Answer:
Ans: 1. Since the perpendicular drawn from the Centre of the circle to a chord
bisects the chord. Therefore, P and Q are mid-points of AB and CD respectively.

Consequently, AP = BP = AB = 3cm

and CQ = QD = CD = 4cm

In right-angled AQAP, we have
OA2 = OP2 + AP2
r2 = OP2 + 32
r2 = OP2 + 9
In right-angled ∆OCQ, we have
OC2 = OQ2 + CQ2
r2 = OQ2 + 42
p2 = OQ2 + 16 … (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
(25)
CIRCLES
10
OP2 + 9 = OQ2 + 16
OP2 - OQ2 = 16 - 9
x2 - (x - 1)2 = 16 - 9 [where OP = x and PQ = 1cm given]
x2 - y2- 1 + 2x = 7
2x = 7 + 1
x=4
⇒ OP = 4cm
From (i), we have
r2 = (4)2 + 9
r2 = 16 + 9 = 25
r = 5cm
Ans: 2. Here, OA = OB = 5cm [radii]
AB = AC = 6cm
∴ B and C are equidistant from A.
∴ AO is the perpendicular bisector of chord BC and it intersect BC in M.
Now, in rt. ∠ed ∆AMB, M = 90° …. (i)
∴ By using Pythagoras Theorem, we have
BM2 = AB2 - AM2
= 36 - AM2
Also, in rt. ∠ed ∆BMO, ∠M = 90°
∴ By using Pythagoras Theorem, we have
BM2 = BO2 - MO2 = 25 - (AO -AM)2
From (i) and (ii), we obtain
25 - (AO - AM)2 = 36 - AM12
25 - AOC - AM2 + 240 × AM = 36 - AM12
25 - 25 + 2 × 5 × AM = 36
10 AM = 36
AM = 3.6cm
From (i), we have
BM2 = 36 - (3.6)2 = 36 - 12.96 = 23.04
BM = √23.04 = 4.8cm
Thus, BC = 2 × BM

= 2 × 4.8 = 9.6cm
Hence, the length of the chord BC is 9.6cm.
Ans: 3. Here, AC is a diameter of the circle.
∴ ∠ADC = 90°
⇒ ∠a + ∠d = 90°
In right-angled ∆AED, ∠E = 90°
∴ ∠a + 2b = 90°
From (i) and (ii), we obtain
∠b = ∠d …. (iii)
Also, ∠a = ∠c … (iv)
[∠s subtended by the same segment are equal]
Now, ∠AOB and ∠ADB are angles subtended by an arc AB at the Centre and at the
remaining part of the circle.
Ans: 4. Given: A cyclic quadrilateral ABCD in which AP, BP, CR and DR are the angle
bisectors of ∠A, ∠B, 2C and ∠D respectively such that a quadrilateral PQRS is
formed. To
Prove: PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Proof: Since ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∴ ∠A + 2C = 180° and ∠B + ∠D = 180°
Also, AP, BP, CR and DR are the angle bisectors of ∠A, ∠B, ∠C and ∠D respectively.

or ∠1 + ∠3 = 90°
and ∠2 + ∠4 = 90°
Now, in ∆APB, by angle sum property of a ∆
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠P = 180° … (iii)
Again, in ∆CRD, by angle sum property of a ∆
∠3 + ∠4 + ∠R = 180° …(iv)
Adding (iii) and (iv), we have
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠P + ∠R = 180° + 180°
90° + 90° + ∠P + ∠R = 360° [using (ii)]
∠P + ∠R= 360° – 180° = 180°
i.e., the sum of one pair of the opposite angles of quadrilateral PQRS is 180°.
Hence, the quadrilateral PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Ans: 5. In circle Clo, r), PQ and PR are two chords, draw OM I PQ, OL I PR, such that
OM = a
and OL = b. Join OP. Since the perpendicular from the Centre of the circle to the
chord of the circle, bisects the chord.
