CHAPTER 10-CIRCLES

BASIC CONCEPTS & IMPORTANT POINTS:-

➢ Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) subtend equal angles at the
centre.
➢ If the angles subtended by the chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) at the
centre (or centres) is equal, then the chords are equal,
➢ The perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to a chord bisects the
chord.
➢ The line drawn through the centre of a circle bisecting a chord is perpendicular
to the chord.
➢ There is one and only one circle passing through three given non-collinear
points.
➢ 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,
➢ If two chords of a circle are equal, then their corresponding arcs are congruent
and conversely, if two arcs are congruent, then their corresponding chords are
equal.
➢ Congruent arcs of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre.
➢ 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.
➢ Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
➢ 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, then the four
points are concyclic.
➢ The sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180º.
➢ If the sum of a pair of opposite angles of a quadrilateral is 180º, the
quadrilateral is cyclic.
1. Given a circle with centre O and chords AB, PQ and XY. Points P,Q and O are
collinear and radius of the circle is 6cm. Choose the correct statement:
a) AB = XY = 3cm
b) AB = 6cm = XY
c) PQ = 6cm
d) PQ = 12cm
2. Given a chord AB of length 5cm, of a circle with centre O. OL is perpendicular
to chord AB and OL = 4cm. OM is perpendicular to chord CD such that OM =
4cm. Then CM =?
3. In Fig.10.5, if AOB is a diameter of the circle and
AC = BC, then CAB is equal to:

4. In the given figure, chord AB subtends AOB = 60  at

the centre of the cir le. If OA = 5cm, then the length
of AB is:

5. Given trapezium ABCD, in which AB // CD. Also AD = 4cm, BC = 4cm and

DAB = 70  , then measure of BCD is:
6. Write true or false and justify your answer:
a) The angles subtended by a chord at any two points of a circle are equal.
b) Two chords AB and AC of a circle with centre O are on the opposite
sides of OA. Then OAB = OAC .
7. AB is a chord of a circle whose centre is O. If P is any point on the minor arc
AB, prove that AOB + 2APB = 360 .
8. Find the length of a chord which is at a distance of 8 cm from the centre of a
circle of radius 17cm.
9. In the following figures, if O is the centre of the circle, find x.
10. If x =150 , find whether points A, B, C and D are concyclic.

11. In the following figure, CD is equal to the radius of the circle. Find the value of
APB, if ‘O’is the centre of the circle.

12. Prove that the sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is
180 . Also prove that if one side of a cyclic quadrilateral is produced, then the
exterior angle so formed is equal to the interior opposite angles.
13. Two equal chords AB and CD of a circle when produced intersect at a point P.
Prove that PB = PD.
14. In the given figure, AB // CD. AD is a diameter of the circle whose centre is O.
Prove that AB = CD.

15.In a cyclic quadrilateral PQRS, if P − R = 50  , find P .
