Q1. Two circles of radii `5cm` and `3cm` intersect at two points and the distance between their centres is `4cm`. Find the length of the common chord.
Sol. :
Given:
Let radius `OP=5cm`, `O'P=3cm`. The distance of `OO'` is `4cm`.
To Find:
`PQ`
Solve:
In `triangleOPO'
`(OP)^2=(OO')^2+(O'P)^2` [By Pythagoras Theorem]
`(5)^2=(4)^2+(3)^2`
`25=16+9`
`25=25`
`triangleOPO' is a right-angled triangle.
this gives `OO'⊥OP`
`PQ` is the diameter of the circle of radius `3cm` as it passes through centre `O'`.
`PQ=2times3=6cm`.
Answer:
The length of the common chord is `6cm`.
Q2. If two equal chords of a circle intersect within the circle, prove that the segments of one chord are equal to corresponding segments of the other chord.
Sol. :
Given:
Chords `AB=CD` of a circle with centre `O` which intersect at `P`
To Prove:
`AP=PD` and `PB=PC`
Construction:
Draw `ON⊥CD` and `OM⊥AB`. Join `OP`.
Proof:
In `triangleOPM` and `triangleOPN`
`angleOMP=angleONP=90^circ` [By construction]
`OP=OP` [Common]
`OM=ON` [Equal chords are equidistance from the centre of circle]
`triangleOPMcongtriangleOPN` [By RHS rule]
`PM=PN`_________(1) [By CPCT]
`AB=CD` [Given]
`1/2AB=1/2CD`
`MB=CN`________(2)
`AM=ND`
Add equation (1) and (2)
`PM+AM=PN+ND`
`AP=PD`
Subtract equation (1) and (2)
`MB-PM=CN-PN`
`PB=PC`
Proved.
Q3. If two equal chords of a circle intersect within the circle, prove that the line joining the point of intersection to the centre makes equal angles with the chords.
Sol. :
Given:
Chords `AB=CD` of a circle with centre `O` which intersect at `P`
To Prove:
`angleOPM=angleOPN`
Construction:
Draw `ON⊥CD` and `OM⊥AB`. Join `OP`.
Proof:
In `triangleOPM` and `triangleOPN`
`angleOMP=angleONP=90^circ` [By construction]
`OP=OP` [Common]
`OM=ON` [Equal chords are equidistance from the centre of circle]
`triangleOPMcongtriangleOPN` [By RHS rule]
`angleOPM=angleOPN` [By CPCT]
Proved.
Q4. If a line intersects two concentric circles (circles with the same centre) with centre `O` at `A,B,C` and `D,` prove that `AB=CD`[See figure]
Sol. :
Given:
Line intersect two concentric circles with centre `O` at `A, B, C, D.`
To Prove:
`AB=CD`
Construction:
Draw `OM⊥AD`
Proof:
Perpendicular `OM` from the centre of a circle to a chord `AD` bisects the chord.
`AM=DM`___________(1)
Perpendicular `OM` from the centre of a circle to a chord `BC` bisects the chord.
`BM=CM`___________(2)
Subtract equation (1) - (2)
`AM-BM=DM-CM`
`AB=CD`
Proved.
Q5. Three girls Reshma, Salma and Mandip are playing a game by standing on a circle of radius `5m` drawn in a park. Reshma throws a ball to Salma, Salma to Mandip, Mandip to Reshma. If the distance between Reshma and Salma and distance between Salma and Mandip is `6m` each, what is the distance between Reshma and Mandip?
Sol. :
Given:
`OR=OM=5m` and `SR=SM=6m`
To Find:
`MR`
Construction:
Join `OR, OM` and `OS=5cm`. `OL⊥SR`
Solve:
In `triangleORL,`
`(OR)^2=(OL)^2+(LR)^2` [By Pythagorus Theorem]
`(5)^2=(OL)^2+(3)^2`
`(OL)^2=25-9`
`(OL)^2=16`
`OL=4`
Area of `triangleROS=`Area of `triangleROS`
`1/2timesOStimesRN=1/2timesORtimesOL`
`1/2times5timesRN=1/2times6times4`
`RN=24/5`
`RN=4.8m`
`RM=2RN`
`RM=2times4.8=9.6m`
Answer:
The distance between Reshma and Mandip is `9.6m`.
Q6. A circular park of radius `20m` is situated in a colony. Three boys Ankur, Syed and David are sitting at equal distance on its boundary each having a toy telephone in his hands to talk each other . Find the length of the string of each phone.
Sol. :
radius `OA=OB=20m`,
`AS=SD=DA`
Construction:
Draw `AM⊥SD`, join `OS`.
Solve:
Let `AS=SD=DA=2x`, and `SM=MD=x`
In Right `triangleASM`
`(AS)^2=(SM)^2+(AM)^2`[By Pythagorus Theroem]
`(2x)^2=(x)^2+(AM)^2`
`4x^2=x^2+(AM)^2`
`(AM)^2=4x^2-x^2`
`(AM)^2=3x^2`
`AM=sqrt3x`
`OM=AM-OA`
`OM=(sqrt3x-20)m`__________(1)
In Right `triangleOSM`
`(OS)^2=(SM)^2+(OM)^2`
`(20)^2=(x)^2+(sqrt3x-20)^2` [from equation (1)]
`400=x^2+3x^2-2times20sqrt3x+400` [`(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2`]
`400-400=4x(x-10sqrt3x)`
`0=x-10sqrt3x`
`x=10sqrt3x`
`SD=2SM`
`SD=2x=2times10sqrt3m`
`SD=20sqrt3m`
`SD=20times1.732m`
`SD=34.640m`
Answer :
The length of the string of each phone is `34.640m.`
