If the distance between Ishita and Isha and between Isha and Nisha is 24 m each, what is the distance between Ishita and Nisha.

Answer:

Draw perpendiculars OA and OB on RS and SM respectively.


AK=AL=242=12 cm

 

OK = OL = OM = 20 m. (Radii of the circle)

In ΔOAK,

OA2 + AK2 = OK2

OA2 + (12 m)2 = (20 m)2

OA2 = (400 − 144) m2 = 256 m2

OA = 16 m

OKLM will be a kite (OK = OM and KL = LM). We know that the diagonals of a kite are perpendicular and the diagonal common to both the isosceles triangles is bisected by another diagonal.

∴∠KCL will be of 90° and KC = CM

Area of ΔORS = 12×KC×OL
12×KC×OL12×24×16
12×KC×OL = 192
⇒ KC × 10 = 192

Question 14:

A circular park of radius 40 m is situated in a colony. Three boys Ankur, Amit and Anand are sitting at equal distance on its boundary each having a toy telephone in his hands to talk to each other. Find the length of the string of each phone.

Answer:

It is given that AB = BC = CA

Therefore, ΔABC is an equilateral triangle.

OA (radius) = 20 m

Medians of equilateral triangle pass through the circum centre (O) of the equilateral triangle ABC. We also know that medians intersect each other in the ratio 2 : 1. As AD is the median of the equilateral triangle ABC, we can write

OAOD=2120OD=21OD=10 m

∴ AD = OA + OD = (20 + 10) m = 30 m

In ΔADC,

AC2 = AD2 + DC2

AC2=302+AC22AC2=302+14AC234AC2=900AC=203

Therefore, the length of the string of each phone will be 203m.

AD is a diameter
AB is chord
AD = 34 cm
AB = 30 cm


Let O be the centre of the circle.
AO = OD = 17 cm            ...(1)

Let OL is a line perpendicular to AB, where L is the point on AB.
Then, AL = LB = 15 cm              ...(2) (∵ a perpendicular from the centre of the circle to the chord, bisects the chord)

In ∆ALO,

⇒ 152 + LO2 = 172        (From (1) and (2))
⇒ 225 + LO2 = 289
⇒ LO2 = 289 − 225

AB is perpendicular to BC


Since, AB is perpendicular to BC
Therefore, the circle formed by joining AB and C is a circle with diameter AC.

In ∆ABC,
Using pythagoras theorem,
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
⇒ 122 + 162 = AC2       (given)
⇒ 144 + 256 =  AC2
⇒ AC2= 400
⇒ AC = 20

Thus, the diameter of the circle is 20 cm.
Therefore, the radius of the circle is half of the diameter of the circle.

⇒ 140° + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC = 180° − 140°
⇒ ∠ABC = 40°     ...(1)

Since AB is the diameter of the circle
Therefore, ∠ACB = 90°  (angle in the semi circle)    ...(2)

In ∆ABC,
BAC + ACB + ABC = 180° (angle sum property)

Thus, ∠CAD = 2∠CBD      ...(1)
Also,  ∠CAB = 2∠CDB      ...(2)

Adding (1) and (2), we get
CAD + CAB 2∠CBD + 2∠CDB
⇒ 
BAD = 2∠CBD + 2∠CDB
⇒ 
BAD = 2(∠CBD + CDB)
⇒ CBD + CDB = 12BAD

Hence, k = 12.

Question 17:

Fill In The Blanks 

Two chords AB and AC of a circle are on the opposite sides of the centre. If AB and AC subtend angles equal to 90 and 150 respectively at the centre, then BAC = _________.
 

Answer:

Given:
AB and AC subtend angles equal to 90° and 150° respectively at the centre
i.e., ∠AOB = 90° and ∠AOC = 150°     ...(1)

In ∆AOB,
OA = OB (radius)
∴ ∠OBA = OAB (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)    ...(2)

Now, ∠OBA + OAB + AOB = 180° (angle sum property)    
 2∠OAB +  90° = 180°           (From (1) and (2))
 2∠OAB = 180° − 90°
 2∠OAB = 90°
 ∠OAB = 45°         ...(3)


In ∆AOC,
OA = OC (radius)
∴ ∠OCA = OAC (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)    ...(4)

Now, ∠OCA + OAC + AOC = 180° (angle sum property)    
 2∠OAC +  150° = 180°           (From (1) and (4))
 2∠OAC = 180° − 150°
 2∠OAC = 30°
 ∠OAC = 15°         ...(5)


Thus,
BAC = OAC OAB 
⇒ 
BAC = 15° + 45°               (From (3) and (5))
⇒ BAC = 60°

Hence, ∠BAC = 60°.

Question 18:

Fill In The Blanks 

Two congruent circles have centres at O and O'. Arc AXB of circle centred at O, subtends an angle of 75 at the centre O and arc PYQ ( or circle centred at O') subtends an angle 25 at the centre O'. The ratio of the arcs AXB and PYQ is ___________.

Answer:

Given:
O and O' are the centres of two congruent circles
AXB of circle centred at O, subtends an angle of 75 at the centre 
arc PYQ of circle centred at O' ,subtends an angle 25at the centre O'



Since, the circles are congruent
Therefore, they have same radius of measure r cm.      ...(1)

We know, Length of arc = θ360°×2πr

Thus,
Length of arc AXB=75°360°×2πr     ...2Length of arc PYQ=25°360°×2πr     ...3Length of arc AXBLength of arc PYQ=75°360°×2πr25°360°×2πr                             =75°25°                             =31


Hence, the ratio of the arcs AXB and PYQ is 3 : 1.

Question 19:

In the given figure, AB and CD are two equal chords of a circle with centre O. OP and OQ are perpendicular on chords AB and CD, respectively. If  POQ = 150, then ∠APQ = __________.

Answer:

Given:
AB = CD
OP  AB and OQ ⊥ CD
POQ = 150°     ...(1)


In ∆POQ,
OP = OQ (equal chords are equidistant from the centre)
∴ ∠OPQ = OQP (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)    ...(2)

Now, ∠OPQ + OQP + POQ = 180° (angle sum property)    
 2∠OPQ +  150° = 180°           (From (1) and (2))
 2∠OPQ = 180° − 150°
 2∠OPQ = 30°
 ∠OPQ = 15°         ...(3)


Since, OP  AB
Thus, ∠OPA = 90°     ....(4)


Now, ∠OPA = OPQ + APQ     
 90° = 15° APQ          (From (3) and (4))
 ∠APQ = 90° − 15°
 ∠APQ = 75°


Hence, ∠APQ = 75°.

Question 20:

In the given figure, if OA = 5cm, AB = 8 cm and OD is perpendicular to AB, then CD is equal to _______.

Answer:

Given:
OA = 5cm        ...(1)
AB = 8 cm
OD is perpendicular to AB


We know, perpendicular from the centre to the chord bisects the chord.
Therefore, AC = CB12AB
AC = 4 cm     ...(2)


In right angled ∆OAC,
Using pythagoras theorem
OA2 = AC2 + OC2
⇒ 52 = 4OC2    (From (1) and (2))
⇒ 25 = 16 OC2
OC2 = 25 − 16
⇒ OC2 = 9
⇒ OC = 3 cm


OD = 5 cm (radius)
CD = OD − OC
⇒ CD = 3
⇒ CD = 2 cm


Hence, CD is equal to 2 cm.

Answer:

Given:
ABC = 20°        ...(1)


We know, the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at the remaining part of the circle.
Thus, ∠AOC = 2∠ABC
⇒ 
AOC = 2(20°)     (From (1))
⇒ AOC = 40°


Hence, ∠AOC is equal to 40°.

Question 22:

In the given figure, if AOB is a diameter of the circle and AC = BC, then ∠CAB is equal to ____________.

Answer:

Given:
AOB is a diameter of the circle
AC = BC


We know, the diameter subtends a right angle to any point on the circle.
∴ ∠ACB = 90°      ...(1)

In ∆ACB,
AC = BC (given)
∴ ∠CAB = CBA (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)    ...(2)

Now,
CAB + CBA + ACB = 180° (angle sum property)
⇒ 2∠CAB +  90° 180°   (From (1) and (2))
⇒ 2∠CAB 180° −  90°
⇒ 2∠CAB 90°
⇒ ∠CAB 45°


Hence, ∠CAB is equal to 45°.

Question 23:

In the given figure,∠AOB = 90° and ∠ABC = 30° , then ∠CAO is equal to ___________.

Answer:

Given:
AOB = 90°      ...(1)
ABC = 30°      ...(2)

We know, the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at the remaining part of the circle.
Thus, ∠AOB = 2∠ACB
⇒ 90° = 2∠ACB
⇒ ∠ACB = 45°    ...(3)


In ∆ACB,
CAB + CBA + ACB = 180° (angle sum property)
⇒ ∠CAB + 30° + 45° 180°   (From (2) and (3))
⇒ ∠CAB + 75°180°
⇒ ∠CAB 180° −  75°
⇒ ∠CAB 105°    ...(4)

Also, in ∆OAB,
OA = OB
∴ ∠OAB = OBA (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)    ...(5)

Now,
OAB + OBA + AOB = 180° (angle sum property)
⇒ 2∠OAB +  90° 180°   (From (1) and (5))
⇒ 2∠OAB 180° −  90°
⇒ 2∠OAB 90°
⇒ ∠OAB 45°  ...(6)


​∠CAO = CAB  OAB
           =
105° − 45° (From (4) and (6))
           = 60°

Hence, ∠CAO is equal to 60°.

Question 24:

In the given figure, if ∠OAB = 40∘ , then ∠ACB = ____________

Answer:

Given:
OAB = 40°      ...(1)


In ∆OAB,
OA = OB
∴ ∠OAB = OBA = 40° (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)    ...(2)

Now,
OAB + OBA + AOB = 180° (angle sum property)
⇒ 40° + 40°AOB 180°   (From (1) and (2))
⇒ ∠AOB = 180° −  80°
⇒ ∠AOB = 100°  ...(3)


We know, the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at the remaining part of the circle.
Thus, ∠AOB = 2∠ACB
⇒ 100° = 2∠ACB    (From (3))
⇒ ∠ACB = 50°


Hence, ∠ACB50°.

Question 25:

In the given figure,, if ∠DAB = 60∘ , ∠ABD = 50∘ , then ∠ACB = _________

Answer:

Given:
DAB = 60°      ...(1)
ABD = 50°      ...(2)


In ∆ADB,
DAB + DBA + ADB = 180° (angle sum property)
⇒ 60° + 50° + ADB 180°   (From (1) and (2))
⇒ ∠ADB = 180° −  110°
⇒ ∠ADB = 70°  ...(3)


We know, angles in the same segment of the circle are equal.
Thus, ∠ADB = ACB
⇒ 70° = ACB    (From (3))
⇒ ∠ACB = 70°


Hence, ∠ACB = 70°.

Answer:

Given:
BC is a diameter of circle
BAO = 60°      ...(1)

In ∆OAB,
OA = OB
∴ ∠OAB = OBA = 60° (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)    ...(2)

Also,
AOC = OAB + OBA (exterior angle)
⇒ ∠AOC = 60° + 60° (From (2))
⇒ ∠AOC = 120°    ...(3)

We know, the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at the remaining part of the circle.
Thus, ∠AOC = 2∠ADC
⇒ 120° = 2∠ADC    (From (3))
⇒ ∠ADC = 60°


Hence, ∠ADC = 60°.

Question 27:

In the given figure, if AOB is a diameter and ∠ADC = 120° , then ∠CAB = ___________

Answer:

Given:
AOB is a diameter of circle
ADC = 120°

Quadrilateral ADCB is a cyclic quadrilateral.

In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is 180.


Thus, ∠ADC + ∠CBA = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠CBA = 180°
⇒ ∠CBA = 180° − 120°
⇒ ∠CBA = 60°     ...(1)

We know, the diameter subtends a right angle to any point on the circle.
∴ ∠ACB = 90°      ...(2)


In ∆ACB,
CAB + CBA + ACB = 180° (angle sum property)
⇒ ∠CAB + 60° + 90° 180°   (From (1) and (2))
⇒ ∠CAB = 180° −  150°
⇒ ∠CAB = 30°  ...(3)

Hence, ∠CAB = 30°.

Now, ∠BOA + ∠BOC = 180°      (Angles on a straight line)
⇒ 12BOC + ∠BOC = 180°      (From (1))
⇒ 32BOC = 180°  
⇒ ∠BOC = 23×180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 120°


Hence, ∠BOC = 120°.

Answer:

Given:
ADC = 130     ...(1)
chord BC = chord BE       ...(2)


Quadrilateral ADCB is a cyclic quadrilateral.

In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is 180.
Thus, ∠ADC + ∠CBA = 180°
⇒ 130° + ∠CBA = 180°
⇒ ∠CBA = 180° − 130°
⇒ ∠CBA = 50°     ...(3)


In ∆CBO and ∆EBO,
BC = BE (given)
OB = OB (common)
OC = OE (radius of the circle)

By SSS property,
OCB ≅ ∆OEB

Therefore, ∠OBC = OBE = 50° (by C.P.C.T.)    ...(4)

Thus, ∠CBE = OBE + OBC
                     = 
50° + 50°      (From (4))
                     = 100°


Hence, ∠CBE = 100°.

Question 31:

In the given figure, if ∠ACB = 40 , then ∠AOB = ______ and ​∠OAB = _____________ 

Answer:

Given:
ACB = 40      ...(1)


We know, the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at the remaining part of the circle.
Thus, ∠AOB = 2∠ACB
⇒ ∠AOB = 2(40°)       (From (1))
⇒ ∠AOB = 80°           ...(2)


In ∆AOB,
OA = OB (radius)
OAB = OBA (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)         ...(3)


OAB + OBA + AOB = 180°  (angle sum property)
2∠OAB + 80° 180°      (From (2) and (3))
⇒ 2∠OAB 180° − 80°
⇒ 2∠OAB 100°
⇒ OAB = 50°


Hence, ∠AOB = 80° and ​∠OAB = 50°.

∴ ∠AEB = 90°      ...(1)


Quadrilateral ACDE is a cyclic quadrilateral.

In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is 180.
Thus, ∠ACD + ∠DEA = 180°      ...(2)


Adding (1) and (2), we get
ACD + ∠DEA + AEB = 90° + 180°
⇒ ​∠ACD + ∠DEB = 270°


Hence, ∠ACD + ∠BED = 270°.

Answer:

Given:
OAB = 30        ...(1)
OCB = 57        ...(2)


In ∆COB,
OC = OB (radius)
∴ OCB = OBC = 57∘ (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)         ...(3)


OCB + OBC + COB = 180°  (angle sum property)
⇒ 5757 COB = 180°      (From (3))
⇒ COB 180° − 114°
⇒ COB 66°                ...(4)


In ∆AOB,
OA = OB (radius)
∴ OAB = OBA = 30∘ (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)         ...(5)


OAB + OBA + AOB = 180°  (angle sum property)
⇒ 30 + 30 AOB = 180°      (From (5))
⇒ AOB 180° − 60°
⇒ AOB 120°         ...(6)


Now,
AOB AOC + COB
⇒ 120° = ∠AOC + 66°      (From (4) and (6))
⇒ ∠AOC = 120° − 66°
⇒ ∠AOC = 54°


Hence, ∠BOC = 66° and ∠AOC = 54°.
