Q.1 Prove that the centre of a circle is on the right bisectors of each of its chords. Given A,B, C are the three non-collinear points. Required: To find the centre of the circle passing through A,B,C Construction Join B to C, Atake PO is right bisector of AB and RS A right bisector of BC, they intersect at O. Join O to A, O to B, O to C. -.O is the centre of circle. Proof eo OB =0C. @ Ois the right bisector of BC OA=OB (ii) Cis the right bisector of AB OA=OB= From (i) and (ii) Hence is equidistant from the A,B,C -.O is center of circle which is required | Q2 Where w Given A.B.C are three non collinear points and circle passing through ¢ these points. To prove Find the center of the circle passing through vertices A, B and { Q| Cc Construction (i) Join Bto Aand C _ (ii) Take QF right bisector of BC and take also PR right bisector of AB PRand QT intersect at point O. joint O to A.B and C. O is the center of the circle. he center of a circle passing through three non-collinear points? And Why? B P A Proof 00 OB _ PO is right bisector of AB OA=OB.. (ii) 0C ...(i) So OA=OC =OB -, It is proved that O is the center of the circle. From (i) and (ii) Q3 00 Three village P,Q and R are not on the same line. The people of these villages want to make a children park at such a place which is equidistant from these three villages. After fixing the place of children park prove that the park is equidistant from the three villages. Given P,Q.R are three villages not on the same straight line. To prove The point equidistant from P.R,Q. Construction i) Joint Qto Pand R Take AB right bisector of PO and CD right bisector of OR. ABandCD intersect at O. Join 0 to P,Q. R The place of children part at point O Proof (iii) O is on the right bisector of QR oP O is on the right bisector of PQ OP O0=0R From (i) and (ii) (iii) «.O is on the bisector of 2P PO is bisector of
