Question 13:
Three girls Ishita, Isha and Nisha are playing a game by standing on a circle of radius 20 m drawn in a park. Ishita throws a ball to Isha, Isha to Nisha and Nisha to Ishita. 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.
OK = OL = OM = 20 m. (Radii of the circle)
In ΔOAK,
OA2 + AK2 = OK2
OA2 + (12 m)2 = (20 m)2

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.

Answer:
Given:
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,
Using pythagoras theorem,

⇒ 152 + LO2 = 172 (From (1) and (2))
⇒ 225 + LO2 = 289
⇒ LO2 = 289 − 225
⇒ LO2 = 64
⇒ LO = 8 cm
Now, In ∆ABD,
Using mid-point theorem: The line segment joining the mid-points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is equal to the half of it.

In ∆ALO,
Using pythagoras theorem,
AL2 + LO2 = AO2

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.

Answer:
Given:

AB is a diameter of the circle circumscribing ABCD
∠ADC = 140∘
In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is 180∘.
Thus, ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ 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)
⇒ ∠BAC + 90° + 40° = 180° (From (1) and (2))
⇒ ∠BAC + 130° = 180°

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

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, ∠ACB = 50°.

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°.

Question 26:
In the given figure,, BC is a diameter of circle and ∠BAO = 60∘ . Then, ∠ADC = __________.
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:

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°.

Question 28:
In the given figure, if AOC is a diameter of the circle and AXB = are BYC, then ∠BOC = __________.
Answer:
Given:
AOC is a diameter of circle
arc AXB = arc BYC
⇒ ∠BOA = ∠BOC ..(1)
Now, ∠BOA + ∠BOC = 180° (Angles on a straight line)
⇒ ∠BOC + ∠BOC = 180° (From (1))
⇒ ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 120°
Hence, ∠BOC = 120°.

Question 29:
In the given figure, ∠ABC = 45∘ , then ∠AOC = _________.
Answer:
Given:
∠ABC = 45∘ ..(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(45°) (From (1))
⇒ ∠AOC = 90°
Hence, ∠AOC = 90°.

Question 30:
In the given figure, if ∠ADC = 130∘ and chord BC = chord BE, then ∠CBE = _______.
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°.

We know, the diameter subtends a right angle to any point on the circle.
∴ ∠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°.

Question 33:
In the given figure, if ∠OAB = 30∘ and ∠OCB = 57∘ , then ∠BOC = _______ and ∠AOC = _________ .
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)
⇒ 57∘ + 57∘ + ∠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°.
