Theorem on Chords Question 1:
Two circles, centred at P and Q intersect at two points C and D. AB is tangent to the two circles at A and B. If ∠ADB = 68°, then ∠ACB = ________.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Theorem on Chords Question 1 Detailed Solution
Given:
Two circles centered at P and Q intersect at two points C and D.
Line AB is tangent to both circles at A and B.
∠ADB = 68°
Calculations:
Drew segment CD,
∠CAB = ∠ADC ---- (1) Tangent secant angle theorem.
∠CBA = ∠CDB ---- (1) Tangent secant angle theorem.
From (1) and (2),
∠CAB + ∠CBA = ∠ADC + ∠CDB
Now, ∠ADB = ∠ADC + ∠CDB --- (3)
In, ΔACB,
∠CAB + ∠CBA + ∠ACB = 180∘ (Sum of angle of a triangle)
∠ADC + ∠CDB + ∠ADB = 180∘ from (1) and (2),
∠ADB + ∠ACB = 180∘ from equation (3)
68∘ + ∠ACB = 180∘
∠ACB = 180∘ - 68∘
∴ ∠ACB = 112°
Theorem on Chords Question 2:
In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle and ∠AOC = 140°. Find ∠ABC.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Theorem on Chords Question 2 Detailed Solution
Given :
O is the centre of the circle
∠AOC =140°
Calculation:
O is the centre of the circle
Take a point D in remaining arc
∠AOC = 140°
∠AOC = 2∠ADC ( Angle formed by chord at centre = twice angle formed in same arc segment)
⇒ 140° = 2∠ADC
⇒ ∠ADC = 70°
ABCD will be a cyclic quadrilateral
Sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC + ∠ADC= 180°
⇒ 70° + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC = 110°
∴ Option 2 is the correct answer.
Theorem on Chords Question 3:
In a circle, two chords MN and PQ intersect at O. If MO = 9 cm, ON = 5 cm and OQ = 6 cm, then the value of OP (in cm) is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Theorem on Chords Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
MO = 9 cm
ON = 5 cm
OQ = 6 cm
Formula Used:
In a circle, if two chords MN and PQ intersect at O, then: MO × ON = OQ × OP
Calculation:
Using the formula, MO × ON = OQ × OP:
⇒ 9 × 5 = 6 × OP
⇒ 45 = 6 × OP
⇒ OP = 45 / 6
⇒ OP = 7.5 cm
The value of OP is 7.5 cm.
Theorem on Chords Question 4:
In a circle of radius 5√13 cm, a chord is at a distance of 10 cm from the centre of the circle. Find the length (in cm) of the chord.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Theorem on Chords Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given:
Radius of the circle = 5√13 cm
Distance of the chord from the centre = 10 cm
Formula Used:
Length of the chord = 2 × √(radius2 - distance from centre2)
Calculation:
Radius = 5√13 cm
Distance from centre = 10 cm
⇒ Length of the chord = 2 × √((5√13)2 - 102)
⇒ Length of the chord = 2 × √(325 - 100)
⇒ Length of the chord = 2 × √225
⇒ Length of the chord = 2 × 15
⇒ Length of the chord = 30 cm
The length of the chord is 30 cm.
Theorem on Chords Question 5:
A pair of straight lines from an external point F intersects a circle at A and B (FA < FB), and touches the circle at C. O is the centre of the circle. Given that ∠ACF = 50º and ∠AFC = 30º, find ∠AOB.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Theorem on Chords Question 5 Detailed Solution
Given:
A pair of straight lines from an external point F intersects a circle at A and B (FA
∠ACF = 50º
∠AFC = 30º
Calculation:
Given ∠ACF = 50º
In \(\triangle \)ACF:
∠ACF = 50º, ∠AFC = 30º
So, ∠CAF = 180º - (50º + 30º) --- Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180º
In \(\triangle \)OAC:
∠OCA = 90º - ∠ACF ------ (Radius is normal to tangent)
∠OCA = 90º - 50º = 40º
∠OCA = ∠OAC ---(Angle opposite to radius are equal in a triangle)
So, ∠OAC = 40º
∠AOC = 180º - (40º + 40º) = 100º
∠OAB = 180º - (∠OAC + ∠CAF) ---- (Sum of all angle on a straight line is 180º)
∠OAB = 180º - (40º + 100º)
∠OAB = 40º
In \(\triangle \)OAB:
∠OAB = ∠OBA --- (Angle opposite to radius are equal in a triangle)
So, ∠OBA = 40º
∠AOB = 180º - (∠OAB + ∠OBA) --- (Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180º)
∠AOB = 180º - (40º + 40º) = 100º
The correct answer is option 3.
Theorem on Chords Question 6:
In the given figure, 'G' is the centre of the circle. Find the angle ACB when ∠AGB = 132°
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Theorem on Chords Question 6 Detailed Solution
Given:
The angle subtended by a chord on the major arc of a circle is 132°.
Concept used:
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.
Calculation:
The major arc for the AB chord is ACB.
∠AGB = 132°
According to the concept,
∠AGB = 2 × ∠ACB
⇒ ∠ACB = 132°/2
⇒ ∠ACB = 66°
The angle ACB is 66°
Theorem on Chords Question 7:
Two concentric circles are drawn with radii 20 cm and 16 cm. What will be the length of a chord of the larger circle which is tangent to the smaller circle?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Theorem on Chords Question 7 Detailed Solution
Given:
Bigger circle radius(R) = 20 cm
Smaller circle radius(r) = 16 cm
Formula Used:
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2
Calculations:
As BOC is an right-angled triangle at C
by Pythagoras theorem,
⇒ (BO)2 = (CO)2 + (BC)2
⇒ (20)2 = (16)2 + (BC)2
⇒ 400 = 256 + BC2
⇒ BC = \(\sqrt{400 - 256}\)
⇒ BC = \(\sqrt{144}\)
⇒ BC = 12 cm
When a line from centre fall on chord, It divide it into 2 equal parts
⇒ AB = 2BC = 2(12) = 24 cm
⇒ Hence, The length of the chord is 24 cm
Theorem on Chords Question 8:
In a circle with center O, an arc ABC subtends an angle of 138º at the center of the circle. The chord AB is produced to a point P. Then, the measure of ∠CBP is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Theorem on Chords Question 8 Detailed Solution
Given:
The angle subtended by arc ABC at the center of the circle = 138°.
Chord AB is produced to a point P, and we need to find ∠CBP.
Formula used:
The angle subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended by the same arc at the circle's circumference.
Calculation:
Let ∠AQC be the angle subtended by arc ABC at the circle's circumference.
⇒ ∠AOC = 2 × ∠AQC
⇒ ∠AQC = 1/2 × ∠AOC = 1/2 × 138° = 69°
Now, in the cyclic quadrilateral ABQC, the exterior angle ∠CBP is equal to the interior opposite angle ∠AQC.
⇒ ∠CBP = ∠AQC = 69°
∴ The measure of ∠CBP is 69°.
Theorem on Chords Question 9:
In a circle, a 14 cm long chord is at 24 cm from the centre of the circle. Find the length of the radius of the circle.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Theorem on Chords Question 9 Detailed Solution
Given data:
AB = 14 cm
OP = 24 cm
Concept used:
Chord theorem circle states that if the radius of the circle is perpendicular to the chord of the circle, it bisects it and vice-versa.
In the circle, OA is the radius that bisects the chord AB perpendicularly.
Calculations:
In a right-angled triangle OPA,
AP2 + OP2 = OA2 (From Pythagoras theorem)
Substituting the value of OP and AP
⇒ OA2 = 72 + 242
⇒ OA2 = 625
⇒ OA = 25
The radius is 25 cm.
Theorem on Chords Question 10:
A line cuts two concentric circles. The length of chords formed by this line on the circles is 6 cm and 18 cm. Find the difference in the squares of the radii of two circles.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Theorem on Chords Question 10 Detailed Solution
Given:
Length of chord on both circles is 6 cm and 18 cm.
Concept used:
Pythagoras theorem.
Calculation:
Let the radii of the smaller circle and the bigger circle be r1 and r2.
In ΔOAC
OC2 = OA2 + AC2
⇒ r12 - AC2 = OA2 ....(1)
In ΔOAB
OB2 = OA2 + AB2
⇒ r22 - AB2 = OA2 ....(2)
From the first equation and the second equation,
r12 - 9 = r22 - 81
⇒ r22- r12 = 81 - 9 = 72
∴ The required difference in the square is 72 cm2.
