Other Exercises

Question 1.
In the given circle with diameter AB, find the value of x. (2003)
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q1.1
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q1.2
∠ABD = ∠ACD = 30° (Angle in the same segment)
Now in ∆ ADB,
∠BAD + ∠ADB + ∠DBA = 180° (Angles of a ∆)
But ∠ADB = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
∴ x + 90° + 30° = 180°
⇒ x + 120° = 180°
∴ x = 180°- 120° = 60°

Question 2.
In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle with radius 5 cm, OP and OQ are perpendiculars to AB and CD respectively. AB = 8cm and CD = 6cm. Determine the length of PQ.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q2.1
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q2.2
Radius of the circle whose centre is O = 5 cm
OP ⊥ AB and OQ ⊥ CD, AB = 8 cm and CD = 6 cm.
Join OA and OC, then OA = OC=5cm.
∴ OP ⊥ AB
∴ P is the mid-point of AB.
Similarly, Q is the mid-point of CD.
In right ∆OAP,
OA² = OP² + AP² (Pythagorous theoram)
⇒ (5)² =OP² +(4)² ( ∵ AP = AB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 8 = 4cm)
⇒ 25 = OP² + 16
⇒ OP3 = 25 – 16 = 9 = (3)²
∵ OP = 3 cm
Similarly, in right ∆ OCQ,
OC2 = OQ2 + CQ2
⇒ (5)2 =OQ2+(3)2 (∵ CQ = CD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 6 = 3cm)
⇒ 25 = OQ2 + 9
⇒ OQ3 = 25 – 9 = 16 = (4)2
∴ OQ = 4 cm
Hence, PQ = OP + OQ = 3-4 = 7 cm.

Question 3.
The given figure shows two circles with centres A and B; and radii 5cm and 3cm respectively, touching each other internally. If the perpendicular bisector of AB meets the bigger circle in P and Q, find the length of PQ.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q3.1
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q3.2
Join AP and produce AB to meet the bigger circle at C.
AB = AC – BC = 5 cm – 3 cm = 2 cm.
But, M is the mid-point of AB
∴ AM = \(\frac { 2 }{ 2 }\) = 1cm.
Now in right ∆APM,
AP2 = MP2 + AM2 (Pythagorous theorem)
⇒ (5)2 = MP2 -1- (1 )2
⇒ 25 = MP: + 1
⇒ MP: = 25 – 1 = 24

Question 4.
In the given figure, ABC is a triangle in which ∠BAC = 30°. Show that BC is equal to the radius of the circumcircle of the triangle ABC, whose centre is O.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q4.1
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q4.2
Given: In the figure ABC is a triangle in winch ∠A = 30°
To Prove: BC is the radius of circumcircle of ∆ABC whose O is the centre.
Const: Join OB and OC.
Proof: ∠BOC is at the centre and ∠BAC is at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠BOC = 2 ∠BAC = 2 x 30° = 60°
Now in ∆OBC,
OB = OC (Radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠OBC = ∠OCB
But ∠OBC + ∠OCB + ∠BOC – 180°
∠OBC + ∠OBC + 60°- 180°
⇒ 2 ∠OBC = 180°- 60° = 120°
⇒ ∠OBC = \(\frac { { 120 }^{ circ } }{ 2 }\) = 60°
∴ ∆OBC is an equilateral triangle.
∴ BC = OB = OC
But OB and OC are the radii of the circumcircle
∴ BC is also the radius of the circumcircle.

Question 5.
Prove that the circle drawn on any one of the equal sides of an isosceles triangle as diameter bisects the base.
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q5.1
Given: In ∆ABC, AB-AC and a circle with AB as diameter is drawn which intersects the side BC and D.
To Prove: D is the mid point of BC.
Const: Join AD.
Proof: ∠ 1 = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
But ∠ 1 + ∠ 2 – 180° (Linear pair)
∴ ∠ 2 = 90°
Now, in right ∆ ABD and ∆ ACD,
Hyp. AB – Hyp. AC (Given)
Side AD – AD (Common)
∴ ∆ABD = ∆ACD (RHS criterion of congruency)
∴ BD = DC (c.p.c.t.)
Hence D is he mid point of BC. Q.E.D.

Question 6.
In the given figure, chord ED is parallel to diameter AC of the circle. Given ∠CBE = 65°, calculate ∠DEC.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q6.1
Solution:
Join OE,
Arc EC subtends ∠EOC at the centre and ∠EBC at the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠EOC = 2 ∠EBC = 2 x 65° = 130°
Now, in ∆OEC, OE = OC (radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠OEC = ∠OCE
But ∠ OEC + ∠ OCE + ∠ EOC = 180°
⇒ ∠ OCE + ∠ OCE + ∠ EOC = 180°
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q6.2

Question 7.
Chords AB and CD of a circle intersect each other at point P, such that AP = CP. S.how that AB = CD.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q7.1
Solution:
Given: Two chords AB and CD intersect each other at P inside the circle with centre O and AP = CP.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q7.2
To Prove: AB = CD.
Proof: ∵ Two chords AB and CD intersect each other inside the circle at P.
∴ AP x PB = CP x PD ⇒ \(\frac { AP}{ CP }\) = \(\frac { AD }{ PB }\)
But AP = CP ….(i) (given)
∴ PD = PB or PB = PD …,(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii),
AP + PB = CP + PD
⇒ AB = CD Q.E.D.

Question 8.
The quadrilateral formed by angle bisectors of a cyclic quadrilateral is also cyclic. Prove it.
Solution:
Given: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral and PRQS is a quadrilateral formed by the angle bisectors of angle ∠A, ∠B, ∠C and ∠D.
To Prove: PRQS is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Proof: In ∆APD,
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q8.1
∠1 +∠2 + ∠P= 180° ,…(i)
Similarly, in ∆BQC.
∠3 + ∠4 + ∠Q= 180° ….(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get:
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠P + ∠3 + ∠4 ∠Q = 180° + 180° = 360°
⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠P + ∠Q = 360° ..(iii)
But ∠1+∠2+∠3+∠4 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (∠A+∠B+∠C+∠D)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 360°= 180°
∴ ∠P + ∠Q = 360° – 180° = 180° [From (iii)]
But these are the sum of opposite angles of quadrilateral PRQS
∴ Quad. PRQS is a cyclic quadrilateral. Q.E.D.

Question 9.
In the figure, ∠DBC = 58°. BD is a diameter of the circle. Calculate:
(I) ∠BDC
(ii) ∠BEC
(iii) ∠BAC (2014)
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q9.1
Solution:
∠DBC = 58°
BD is diameter
∴ ∠DCB=90° (Angle in semi circle)
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q9.2
(i) In ∆BDC
∠BDC + ∠DCB + ∠CBD = 180°
∠BDC = 180°- 90° – 58° = 32°
(ii) ∠BEC =180°-32°
(opp. angle of cyclic quadrilateral)
= 148°
(iii) ∠BAC = ∠BDC = 32°
(Angles in same segment)

Question 10.
D and E are points on equal sides AB and AC of an isosceles triangle ABC such that AD = AE. Prove that the points B, C, E and D are concyclic.
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q10.1
Given: In ∆ABC, AB = AC and D and E are points on AB and AC such that AD = AE, DE is joined.
To Prove: B,C,E,D. are concyclic.
Proof: In ∆ABC, AB = AC
∴ ∠B = ∠C (Angles opposite to equal sides)
Similarly in ∆ADE, AD = AE (given)
∴ ∠ADE = ∠AED
In ∆ABC,
∵ \(\frac { AP }{ AB }\) = \(\frac { AE }{ AC }\)
∴ DE || BC.
∴ ∠ADE = ∠B (Corresponding angles)
But ∠B = ∠C (Proved)
∴ Ext. ∠ADE = its interior opposite ∠C.
∴ BCED is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Hence B,C, E and D are concyclic.

Question 11.
In the given figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. AF is drawn parallel to CB and DA is produced to point E. If ∠ADC = 92°, ∠FAE’= 20°; determine ∠BCD. Give reason in support of your answer.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q11.1
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q11.2
In cyclic quad. ABCD,
AF || CB and DA is produced to E such that
∠ADC = 92° and ∠FAE – 20°
Now, we have to find the measure of ∠BCD In cyclic quad. ABCD,
∠B – ∠D = 180° ⇒ ∠B + 92° = 180″
⇒∠B = 180°-92° = 88°
∵ AF || CB.
∴∠FAB = ∠B = 88°
But ∠FAE – 20° (Given)
Ext. ∠BAE – ∠BAF + ∠FAE
= 88° + 20° = 108°
But Ext. ∠BAE – ∠BCD
∴ ∠BCD = 108°

Question 12.
If I is the incentre of triangle ABC and AI when produced meets the circumcircle of triangle ABC in point D. If ∠BAC = 66° and ∠ABC – 80°, calculate
(i) ∠DBC,
(ii) ∠IBC,
(iii) ∠BIC.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q12.1
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q12.2
Join DB and DC, IB and IC.
∠BAC = 66°, ∠ABC = 80°. I is the incentre of the ∆ABC.
(i) ∵ ∠DBC and ∠DAC are in the same segment
∴ ∠DBC – ∠DAC.
But ∠DAC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠BAC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 66° = 33°
∴ ∠DBC = 33°.
(ii) ∵ I is the incentre of ∆ABC.
∴ IB bisect ∠ABC
∴ ∠ IBC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠ABC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 80° = 40°.
(iii) ∴∠BAC = 66° ∠ABC = 80°
∴ In ∆ABC,
∠ACB = 180° – (∠ABC + ∠CAB)
= 180°-(80°+ 66°)= 180°- 156° = 34°
∵ IC bisects the ∠C
∴ ∠ ICB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠C = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 34° = 17°.
Now in ∆IBC,
∠ IBC + ∠ ICB + ∠ BIC = 180°
⇒ 40° + 17° + ∠BIC = 180°
⇒ ∠ BIC = 180° – (40° + 17°) = 180° – 57°
= 123°

Question 13.
In the given figure, AB = AD = DC= PB and ∠DBC = x°. Determine in terms of x :
(i) ∠ABD
(ii) ∠APB
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q13.1
Hence or otherwise prove that AP is parallel to DB.
Solution:
Given: In figure, AB = AD = DC = PB.
∠DBC = x. Join AC and BD.
To Find : the measure of ∠ABD and ∠APB.
Proof: ∠DAC=∠DBC= x(angles in the same segment)
But ∠DCA = ∠DAC (∵ AD = DC)
= x
But ∠ABD = ∠DAC (Angles in the same segment)
In ∆ABP, ext. ∠ABC = ∠BAP + ∠APB
But ∠ BAP = ∠APB (∵ AB = BP)
2 x x = ∠APB + ∠APB = 2∠APB
∴ 2∠APB = 2x

Question 14.
In the given figure, ABC, AEQ and CEP are straight lines. Show that ∠APE and ∠CQE are supplementary.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q14.1
Solution:
Given: In the figure, ABC, AEQ and CEP are straight lines.
To prove: ∠APE + ∠CQE = 180°.
Const: Join EB.
Proof: In cyclic quad. ABEP,
∠APE+ ∠ABE= 180° ….(i)
Similarly in cyclic quad. BCQE
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q14.2
∠CQE +∠CBE = 180° ….(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii),
∠APE +∠ABE + ∠CQE +∠CBE = 180° + 180° = 360°
⇒ ∠APE + ∠CQE + ∠ABE + ∠CBE = 360°
But ∠ABE + ∠CBE = 180° (Linear pair)
∴ ∠APE + ∠CQE + 180° = 360°
⇒ ∠APE + ∠CQE = 360° – 180° = 180°
Hence ∠APE and ∠CQE are supplementary. Q.E.D.

Question 15.
In the given figure, AB is the diameter of the circle with centre O.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q15.1
If ∠ADC = 32°, find angle BOC.
Solution:
Arc AC subtends ∠AOC at the centre and ∠ ADC at the remaining part of the circle
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q15.2
∴ ∠AOC = 2 ∠ADC
= 2 x 32° = 64°
∵ ∠AOC + ∠ BOC = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 64° + ∠ BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠ BOC=180° – 64° =116° .

Question 17.
In the following figure, AB is the diameter of a circle with centre O and CD is the chord with length equal to radius OA. If AC produced and BD produced meet at point P ; show that ∠ APB = 60°.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q17.1
Solution:
Given : In the figure, AB is the diameter of the circle with centre O.
CD is the chord with length equal to the radius OA.
AC and BD are produced to meet at P.
To prove : ∠ APB = 60°
Const : Join OC and OD
Proof : ∵ CD = OC = OD (Given)
∴ ∆OCD is an equilateral triangle
∴ ∠ OCD = ∠ ODC = ∠ COD = 60°
In ∆ AOC, OA = OC (Radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ A = ∠ 1
Similarly, in ∆ BOD,
OB = OD
∴∠2= ∠B
Now in cyclic quadrilateral ACDB,
∠ A CD + ∠B = 180°
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q17.2
∠60°+ ∠ 1 + ∠B = 180°
= ∠ 1 + ∠B = 180° – 60°
⇒∠ 1 + ∠B = 120°
But ∠ 1 = ∠ A
∴ ∠ A + ∠B = 120° …(i)
Now, in ∆ APB,
∠ P + ∠ A + ∠ B = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ ∠P+120°=180° [From (i)]
⇒ ∠P = 180°- 120°= 60°
Hence ∠ P = 60° or ∠ APB = 60° Hence proved.

Question 18.
In the following figure,
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q18.1
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AD is parallel to BC.
If the bisector of angle A meets BC at point E and the given circle at point F, prove that :
(i) EF = FC
(ii) BF = DF
Solution:

Given : ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AD || BC.
Bisector of ∠ A meets BC at E and the given circle at F. DF and BF are joined.
To prove :
(i) EF = FC
(ii) BF = DF
Proof : ∵ ABCD is a cyclic -quadrilateral and AD || BC
∵ AF is the bisector of ∠ A
∴ ∠ BAF = ∠ DAF
∴ Arc BF = Arc DF (equal arcs subtends equal angles)
⇒ BF = DF(equal arcs have equal chords)
Hence proved

Question 20.
The following figure shows a circle with PR as its diameter.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q20.1
If PQ = 7 cm, QR = 3 cm, RS = 6 cm. find the perimeter of the cyclic quadrilateral PQRS. (1992)
Solution:
In the figure, PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral in which PR is a diameter
PQ = 7 cm,
QR = 3 RS = 6cm
∴ 3 RS = 6cm
and RS = \(\frac { 6 }{ 3 }\) = 2cm
Now in ∆ PQR,
∠ Q = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
∴ PR2 = PQ2 + QR2 (Pythagoras theorem)
= (7)2 + (6)2 = 49 + 36 = 85
Again, in right ∆ PSQ, PR2 = PS2 + RS2
⇒ 85 = PS2 + (2)2
⇒ 85 = PS2 + 4
⇒ PS2 = 85 – 4 = 81 = (9)2
∴ PS = 9cm
Now, perimeter of quad. PQRS = PQ + QR + RS + SP = (7 + 9 + 2 + 6) cm = 24cm

Question 21.
In the following figure, AB is the diameter of a circle with centre O.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q21.1
If chord AC = chord AD, prove that :
(i)arc BC = arc DB
(ii) AB is bisector of ∠ CAD. Further, if the length of arc AC is twice the length of arc BC, find :
(a) ∠ BAC
(b) ∠ ABC
Solution:
Given : In a circle with centre O, AB is the diameter and AC and AD are two chords such that AC = AD.
To prove : (i) arc BC = arc DB
(ii) AB is the bisector of ∠CAD
(iii) If arc AC = 2 arc BC, then find
(a) ∠BAC (b) ∠ABC
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q21.2
Construction: Join BC and BD.
Proof : In right angled A ABC and A ABD
Side AC = AD (Given)
Hyp. AB = AB (Common)
∴ ∆ ABC ≅ ∆ ABD (R.H.S. axiom)
(i) ∴ BC = BD (C.P.C.T)
∴ Arc BC = Arc BD (equal chords have equal arcs)
(ii) ∠ BAC = ∠ BAD (C.P.C.T)
∴ AB is the bisector of ∠CAD.
(iii) If arc AC = 2 arc B
Then ∠ABC = 2 ∠BAC
But ∠ABC – 2 ∠BAC = 90°
∴ 2 ∠BAC + ∠BAC = 90°
⇒ 3 ∠BAC = 90° ⇒ ∠BAC = 30°
and ∠ABC = 2 ∠BAC = 2 * 30° = 60°

Question 22.
In cyclic-quadrilateral ABCD ; AD = BC,
∠ BAC = 30° and ∠ CBD = 70°, find:
(i) ∠ BCD
(ii) ∠ BCA
(iii) ∠ ABC
(iv) ∠ ADC
Solution:
ABCD is a cyclic-quadrilateral and AD = BC
∠ BAC = 30°, ∠ CBD = 70°
∠ DAC = ∠ CBD , (Angles in the same segment)
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q22.1
But ∠ CBD = 70°
∴ ∠ DAC = 70°
⇒ ∠ BAD = ∠ BAC + ∠ DAC = 30° + 70° = 100°
But ∠ BAD + ∠ BCD = 180°
(Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
⇒100°+ ∠ BCD=180° ⇒ ∠ BCD=180° – 100° = 80°
∴ ∠ BCD = 80°
∵ AD = BC (Given)
∴ ∠ ACD = ∠ BDC
(Equal chords subtends equal angles)
But ∠ ACB = ∠ ADB
(Angles in the same segment)
∴ ∠ ACD + ∠ ACB = ∠ BDC + ∠ ADB
⇒ ∠ BCD = ∠ ADC = 80° (∵ ∠ BCD = 80°)
∴ ∠ ADC = 80°
But in ∆ BCD,
∠ CBD + ∠ BCD + ∠ BDC = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ 70° + 80° + ∠ BDC = ∠ 180°
⇒ 150°+ ∠ BDC = 180°
∴ ∠ BDC = 180° – 150° = 30°
⇒ ∠ ACD = 30° (∵ ∠ ACD = ∠ BDC)
∴ ∠ BCA = ∠ BCD – ∠ ACD = 80° – 30° = 50°
∠ ADC + ∠ABC = 180°
(Sum of opp. angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)
⇒ 80°+ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠ ABC=180°-80° = 100°

Question 23.
In the given figure, if ∠ ACE = 43° and ∠CAF = 62°. Find the values of a, b and c.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q23.1
Solution:
Now, ∠ ACE = 43° and ∠ CAF = 62° (given)
In ∆ AEC,
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q23.2
∠ ACE + ∠ CAE + ∠ AEC = 180°
∴ 43° + 62° + ∠ AEC = 180°
105° + ∠ AEC = 180°
⇒ ∠ AEC = 180°- 105° = 75°
Now, ∠ ABD + ∠AED=180°
(Opposite ∠ s of a cyclic quad, and ∠ AED = ∠ AEC)
⇒ 0 + 75°= 180° a = 180° – 75° = 105°
∠ EDF = ∠ BAE (Angles in the alternate segments)
∴ c = 62°
In ∆BAF, ∠a + 62° + ∠b = 180°
⇒ 105°+ 62°+ ∠b= 180°
⇒ 167° + ∠6 = 180°
⇒ ∠b= 180°-167°= 13°
Hence, a= 105°, 6=13° and c = 62°.

Question 24.
In the given figure, AB is parallel to DC, ∠BCE = 80° and ∠BAC = 25° .
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q24.1
Find:
(i) ∠CAD
(ii)∠CBD
(iii) ∠ADC
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q24.2
In the given figure,
ABCD is a cyclic quad, in which AB || DC
∴ ABCD is an isosceles trapezium AD = BC
(i) Join BD
and Ext. ∠BCE = ∠BAD
{ Ext. angle of a cyclic quad, is equal to interior opposite angle}
∴ ∠BAD = 80° (∵ ∠BCE = 80°)
But ∠BAC = 25°
∴ ∠CAD = ∠BAD – ∠BAC = 80° – 25° = 55°
(ii) ∠CBD = ∠CAD (Angles in the same segment)
= 55°
(iii) ∠ADC = ∠BCD (Angles of the isosceles trapezium)
= 180°- ∠BCE =180°- 80° = 100°

Question 25.
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral of a circle with centre O such that AB is a diameter of this circle and the length of the chord CD is equal to the radius of the circle. If AJD and BC produced meet at P, show that ∠APB = 60°.
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q25.1
Given : In a circle, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AB is the diameter and chord CD is equal to the radius of the circle
To prove: ∠APB = 60°
Construction : Join OC and OD
Proof: ∵ chord CD = CO = DO (radii of the circle)
∴ ∆DOC is an equilateral triangle
∠DOC = ∠ODC = ∠OCD – 60°
Let ∠A = x and ∠B = y
∵ OA = OD = OC = OB (radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ODA = ∠OAD = x and ∠OCB = ∠OBC =y
∴∠AOD = 180° – 2x and ∠BOC = 180° – 2y
But AOB is a straight line
∴ ∠AOD + ∠BOC + ∠COD = 180°
180°- 2x + 180° -2y + 60° = 180°
⇒ 2x + 2y = 240°
⇒ x + y = 120°
But ∠A + ∠B + ∠P = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ 120° + ∠P = 180°
⇒ ∠P = 180° – 120° = 60°
Hence ∠APB = 60°

Question 26.
In the figure, given alongside, CP bisects angle ACB. Show that DP bisects angle ADB.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q26.1
Solution:
Given : In the figure,
CP is the bisector of ∠ACB
To prove : DP is the bisector of ∠ADB
Proof: ∵ CP is the bisector of
∴ ∠ACB ∠ACP = ∠BCP
But ∠ACP = ∠ADP {Angles in the same segment of the circle}
and ∠BCP = ∠BDP
But ∠ACP = ∠BCP
∴ ∠ADP = ∠BDP
∴ DP is the bisector of ∠ADB

Question 27.
In the figure, given below, AD = BC, ∠BAC = 30° and ∠CBD = 70°. Find :
(i) ∠BCD
(ii) ∠BCA
(iii) ∠ABC
(iv) ∠ADB
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q27.1
Solution:
In the figure,
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
AC and BD are its diagonals
∠BAC = 30° and ∠CBD = 70°
Now we have to find the measures of ∠BCD, ∠BCA, ∠ABC and ∠ADB
∠CAD = ∠CBD = 70°
(Angles in the same segment)
Similarly ∠BAC = ∠BDC = 30°
∴ ∠BAD = ∠BAC + ∠CAD = 30° + 70° = 100°
(i) Now ∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180° (opposite angles of cyclic quad.)
⇒ ∠BCD + 100°= 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180°-100° = 80°
(ii) ∵ AD = BC (given)
∴ ∠ABCD is an isosceles trapezium
and AB || DC
∴ ∠BAC = ∠DCA (alternate angles)
⇒ ∠DCA = 30°
∠ABD = ∠D AC = 30° (Angles in the same segment)
∴ ∠BCA = ∠BCD – ∠DAC = 80° – 30° = 50°
(iii) ∠ABC = ∠ABD + ∠CBD = 30° + 70° = 100°
(iv) ∠ADB = ∠BCA = 50° (Angles in the same segment)

P.Q.

If the radius of the circle is 15 cm, find the distance MN between the two chords of length 24 cm and 18 cm respectively.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Qp1.1
Solution:
Given : AB = 24 cm, CD = 18 cm
⇒AM = 12 cm, CN = 9 cm
Also, OA = OC = 15 cm
Let MO = y cm, and ON = x cm
In right angled ∆AMO
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Qp1.2
(OA)2 = (AM)2 + (OM)2
(15)2 = (12)2 + (y2
⇒ (15)2-(12)2
⇒ y2 = 225-144
⇒ y2 = 81 = 9 cm
In right angled ∆CON
(OC)2 = (ON)2 + (CN)2
⇒(15 )2= x2 + (9)2
⇒ x2 = 225-81
⇒x2= 144
⇒ x = 12 cm
Now, MN = MO + ON =y + x = 9 cm + 12 cm = 21 cm

Question 28.
In the figure given below, AD is a diameter. O is the centre of the circle. AD is parallel to BC and ∠CBD = 32°. Find :
(i) ∠OBD
(ii) ∠AOB
(iii) ∠BED (2016)
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 17 Circles Ex 17C Q28.1
(i) AD is parallel to BC, that is, OD is parallel to BC and BD is transversal.
∴ ∠ODB = ∠CBD = 32° (Alternate angles)
In ∆OBD,
OD = OB (Radii of the same circle)
⇒ ∠ODB = ∠OBD = 32°
(ii) AD is parallel to BC, that is, AO is parallel to BC and OB is transversal.
∴∠AOB = ∠OBC (Alternate angles)
∠OBC = ∠OBD + ∠DBC
⇒ ∠OBC = 32° + 32°
⇒ ∠OBC = 64°
∴ ∠AOB = 64°
(iii) In AOAB,
OA = OB(Radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠OAB = ∠OBA = x (say)
∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB = 180°
⇒ x + x + 64° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° – 64°
⇒ 2x= 116°
⇒ x = 58°
∴ ∠OAB = 58°
That is ∠DAB = 58°
∴ ∠DAB = ∠BED = 58°
(Angles inscribed in the same arc are equal)

(ii) Find SP if TP = 18 cm, RQ = 4 cm and TR = 6 cm.
(iii) Find area of quadrilateral PQRS if area of ∆PTS = 27 cm2.(2016)
Solution:
(i) Since PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral ∠RSP + ∠RQP = 180°
(Since sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°)
⇒ ∠RQP = 180° – ∠RSP …(i)
∠RQT + ∠RQP = 180°
(Since angles from a linear pair)
⇒ ∠RQP = 180° – ∠RQT …(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
180° – ∠RSP = 180° – ∠RQT
⇒ ∠RSP = ∠RQT …(iii)
In ∆TPS and ∆TRQ,
∠PTS = ∠RTQ (common angle)
∠RSP = ∠RQT [From (iii)]
∴ ATPS ~ ATRQ (AA similarity criterion)
(ii) Since ∆TPS ~ ∆TRQ implies that corresponding sides are proportional that

To Prove: O lies on the bisector of ∠ BAC
Proof: In ∆ ADC and ∆ ADB,
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q4.1
AD = AD (Common)
AB = AC (Given)
∠ BAD = ∠ CAD (Given)
∴ ∆ ADC = ∆ ADB (SAS postulate)
∴ BD = DC (C.P.C.T.)
and ∠ ADB = ∠ ADC (C.P.C.T.)
But ∠ ADB + ∠ ADC = 180° (Linear pair)
∴ ∠ ADB = ∠ ADC = 90°

Question 6.
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which BC is parallel to AD, angle ADC = 110° and angle BAC = 50°. Find angle DAC and angle DCA.
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q6.1
ABCD is a cyclic quad, in which AD || BC
∠ ADC = 110°, ∠ BAC = 50°
∠B + ∠D= 180° (Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
⇒∠B + 110°= 180°
∴ ∠ B or ∠ ABC = 180° – 110° – 70″
Now. in ∆ ABC,
∠ BAC + ∠ ABC – ∠ ACB = 180°
⇒ 50° + 70° + ∠ ACB – 180°
⇒ 120° – ∠ ACB = 180°
∴ ∠ ACB = 180° – 120° = 60″
OL ⊥ AC and hence it bisects AC, O is the center of the circle.
OL ⊥ AC and hence it bisects AC, O is the center of the circle.
∵ AD || BC (Given)
∴ ∠ DAC = ∠ ACB (Alternate angles)
= 60°
Now, in ∆ ADC,
∠ DAC + ∠ ADC + ∠ DCA -= 180°
60°+ 110° + ∠ DCA = 180°

Question 7.
In the given figure, C and D arc points on the semi-circle described on AB as diameter. Given angle BAD = 70° and angle DBC = 30°. calculate angle BDC.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q7.1
Solution:
∴ ABCD is a cyclic quad.
∠ BAD ∠ BCD 180 (Sum of opposite angles)
⇒ 70° + ∠ BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠ BCD = 180°- 70° = 110°
Now in ∆ BCD,
∠ BCD + ∠ DBC + ∠ BDC = 180°
⇒ 30°+ 110° + ∠ BDC = 180°
⇒ 140°+ ∠ BDC = 180°
∴ ∠ BDC = 180°- 140° = 40°

Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q9.1
Given: ∆ABC in which AB=AC and AB as diameter, a circle is drawn which intersects BC at D.
To Prove: BD = DC
Construction: Join AD
Proof: AB is the diameter
∴ ∠ ADB = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
But ∠ ADB + ∠ ADC =180° (A linear pair)
∴ ∠ ADC = 90°
Now in right angled ∆s ABD and ACD,
Hypotenuse AB = AC (given)
Side AD = AD (Common)
∴ ∆ ABD ≅ ∆ ACD (RHS postulate)
BD = DC (C.P.C.T.)
Hence the circle bisects base BC at D. Q.ED.

Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q11.2
Join OB
In ∆ OBC, BC = OD = OB (radii of the circle)
∴ ∠ BOC = ∠ BCO = 20°
and Ext. ∠ ABO = ∠ BCO + ∠ BOC
= 20°+ 20° = 40° ….(i)
In ∆ OAB, OA = OB (radii of the circle)
∴ ∠ OAB = ∠ OBA = 40° [from (i)]
∠ AOB = 180°- ∠ OAB – ∠ OBA
= 180°-40°-40°= 100°
∵ DOC is a line
∴ ∠ AOD + ∠ AOB + ∠ BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠ AOD + 100° + 20° = 180°
⇒ ∠ AOD + 120° = 180°
∴ ∠ AOD = 180° – 120° = 60°

Proof: In circumcircle of ∆ ABC,
∠ B = 90° (given)
∴ AB is the diameter of circumcircle i.e. AB = D.
Let radius of incircle = r
∴ OL = OM = ON = r
Now from B, BL, BM are the tangents to the incircle
∴ BL = OM = r
Similarly we can prove that:
AM = AN and CL = CN = R (radius)
(Tagents from the point outside the circle)
Now AB + BC + CA = AM + BM + BL + CL + CA
= AN + r + r + CN + CA
= AN + CN + 2r + CA
= AC + AC + 2r = 2 AC + 2r = 2D + d Q.E.D.

In cyclic quad. PBCQ,
∠ BPQ + ∠ BCQ = 180°
⇒ ∠ BPQ + 140° = 180°
∴ ∠ BPQ = 180° – 140° = 40°
Now, in ∆ PBQ,

Nowin cyclic quad. PQBA,

Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q32.1
Solution:
A circle with centre is inscribed (see the fig.)
in a quadrilateral ABCD. BC = 38 cm, QB = 27cm,
DC = 25 cm and AD ⊥ BC.
Join OP and QS.
∵ OP and OS are the radii of the circle
∴ OP ⊥ AD and OS ⊥ CD
∴ OPDS is a square
∴ OP = OS – DP = DS.
Let length of radius of the circle = r
then DP = DS = r
∴ CS = 25 – r
∵ EQ = BR = 27 cm (tangents to the circle from B)
∴ CR = BC – BR = 38 – 27 = 11 cm
Similarly CR = CS
∴ 25 – r = 11 ⇒ r = 25 – 11 = 14
∴ Radius of the circle = 14 cm

Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q33.1
If ∠AXB = 50° and ∠ABX = 70°, find ∠BAY and ∠APY.
Solution:
In the above figure,
XY is a diameter of the circle PQ is tangent to the circle at Y.
∠AXB = 50° and ∠ABX = 70°
(i) In ∆AXB,
∠XAB + ∠ABX + ∠AXB = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ ∠XAB + 70° + 50° = 180°
⇒ ∠XAB + 120° =180°
⇒ ∠XAB = 180° – 120° = 60°
But, ∠XAY = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
∴ ∠BAY = ∠XAY-∠XAB=90°- 60° = 30°
(ii) Similarly ∠XBY=90°(Angle in a semicircle) and ∠CXB = 70°
∴ ∠PBY = ∠XBY-∠XBA =90° – 70° = 20°
∵ ∠BYA = 180° – ∠AXB ( ∵ ∠BYA + ∠AYB = 180°) = 180°- 50° = 130°
∠PYA =∠ABY (Angles in the alternate segment) = ∠PBY = 20°
and ∠PYB = ∠PYA + ∠AYB
= 20° + 130° = 150°
∴ ∠APY = 180°-(∠PYA + ∠ABY)
= 180° -(150° +20°) =180° – 170° = 10°

Question 35.
In the given figure, AB is a diameter. The tangent at C meets AB produced at Q. If ∠ CAB = 34°,
find :
(i) ∠CBA
(ii) ∠CQB
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q35.1
In ∆ ABC,
we have ∠ ACB = 90°
[Angle in a semicircle is 90°]
(i) Also ∠ CBA + ∠ CAB + ∠ ACB = 180° [Angle sum property of a ∆ ]
⇒ ∠ CBA =180°- ∠ CAB – ∠ ACB = 180°-34°-90° = 180°-124° = 56°
(ii) CQ is a tangent at C and CB is a chord of the circle.
⇒ ∴ ∠ QCB = ∠ BAC = 34° [Angles in the alternate segments]
∠ CBQ =180°- ∠ ABC [Linear pair]
⇒ ∠ CBQ = 180°- 56° = 124° [From (i)]
In ∆ BCQ, we have
⇒ ∠ CQB = 180° – (∠ QCB + ∠ CBQ) [Angle sum property of a ∆ ]
= 180° -(34° + 124°) = 180°- 158° = 22°
Hence, ∠CQB = 22°

Question 36.
In the given figure, A O is the centre of the circle. The tangents at B and D intersect each other at point P.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q36.1
If AB is parallel to CD and ∠ ABC = 55
find :
(i) ∠ BOD
(ii) ∠ BPD
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q36.2
In the given figure,
O is the centre of the circle AB || CD,
∠ ABC = 55° tangents at B and D are drawn which meet at P.
∵ AB || CD
∴ ∠ ABC = ∠ BCD (Alternate angles)
∴ ∠ ABC = 55° (Given)
(i) Now arc BD subtands ∠ BOD at the centre and ∠ BCD at the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠BOD = 2∠BCD = 2 x 55° = 110°
(ii) In quad. OBPD,
∠OBP = ∠ODP = 90° (∵ BP and DP are tangents)
∴ ∠BOD + ∠BPD = 180°
⇒ 110° +∠BPD =180°
⇒ ∠BPD =180°-110°= 70°
Hence, ∠BOD = 110° and ∠BPD = 70°

Question 37.

Question 38.
In two concentric circles, prove that all chords of the outer circle, which touch the inner circle, are of equal length.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q38.1
Solution:
Given: Two concentric circles with centre O AB and CD are two cords of outer circle which touch the inner circle at P and Q respectively
To prove: AB = CD
Construction : Join OA, OC, OP and OQ
Proof: ∵ OP and OQ are the radii of the inner circle and AB and CD are tangents
∴ OP ⊥ AB and OQ ⊥ CD
and P and Q are the midpoints of AB and CD Now in right AOAP and OCQ,
Side OP = OQ (radii of the inner circle)
Hyp. OA = OC (radii of the outer circle)
∴ ∆OAP = ∆OCQ (R.H.S. axiom)
∴ AP = CQ (c.p.c.t.)
But AP = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AB and CQ = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) CD
∴ AB = CD Hence proved.

Question 39.
In the figure, given below, AC is a transverse common tangent to two circles with centres P and Q and of radii 6 cm and 3 cm respectively.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q39.1
Given that AB = 5 cm , Calculate PQ.
Solution:
In the figure, two circles with centres P and Q and radii 6 cm and 3 cm respectively
ABC is the common transverse tangent to the two circles. AB = 8 cm
Join AP and CQ
∵ AC is the tangents to the two circles and PA and QC are the radii

Question 40.
In the figure, given below, O is the centre of the circumcircle of triangle XYZ. Tangents at X and Y intersect at point T. Given ∠XTY = 80° and ∠XOZ = 140°, calculate the value of ∠ZXY.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q40.1
Solution:
In the figure, a circle with centre O, is the circumcircle of ∆XYZ.
∠XOZ =140° (given)
Tangents from X and Y to the circle meet at T such that ∠XTY = 80°
∵ ∠XTY = 80°
∴ ∠XOY= 180°-80°= 100°
But ∠XOY + ∠YOZ + ∠XOZ = 360° (Angles at a point)
⇒ 100°+∠YOZ+ 140o = 360o
⇒ 240o+∠YOZ =360°
⇒ ∠YOZ =360°- 240°
⇒∠YOZ =120°
Now arc YZ subtends ∠YOZ at the centre and ∠YXZ at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠YOZ = 2 ∠YXZ
⇒ ∠YXZ= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠YOZ ⇒ ∠YXZ = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 120° = 60°

Question 41.
In the given figure, AE and BC intersect each other at point D. If ∠CDE = 90°, AB = 5 cm, BD = 4 cm and CD = 9 cm, findAE.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q41.1
Solution:
In the given circle,
Chords AE and BC interesect each other at D at right angle i.e., ∠CDE = 90°, AB is joined AB = 5cm, BD = 4 cm, CD = 9 cm
Now we have to find AE.
Let DE=xm
Now in right ∆ABD,
AB= AD2 + BD2 (Pythagoras Theorem)
⇒ (5)2=AD2 + (4)2
⇒ 25 = AD2 + 16
⇒ AD2 = 25-16 = 9 = (3)2
∴AD = 3cm
∵ Chords AE and BC intersect eachothcr at D inside the circle
∴ AD x DE = BD x DC
⇒ 3 x x = 4 x 9
⇒ x= \(\frac { 4×9 }{ 3 }\) = 12cm;
∴ AE=AD + DE = 3 + 12 = 15 cm

Question 42.
In the given circle with centre O, ∠ABC = 100°, ∠ACD = 40° and CT is a tangent to the circle at C. Find ∠ADC and ∠DCT.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q42.1
Solution:
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180°
100° +∠ADC = 180°
∠ADC = 180°- 100° = 80°
In ∆ADC
∠ACD + ∠CDA + ∠D AC =180°
40° + 80° +∠D AC = 180°
∠D AC = 180° – 80° – 40° = 60°
Now ∠DAC = 60°
⇒ ∠DCT = 60° [angle in alt. segment]

Question 43.
In the figure given below, O is the centre of the circle and SP is a tangent. If ∠SRT = 65°, find the values of x,y and z. (2015)
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18C Q43.1
Solution:
In the given figure,
O is the centre of the circle.
SP is tangent ∠SRT =65°.
To find the values of x, y and z
(i) In ∆STR,
∠S = 90° (∵ OS is radius and ST is tangent)
∴ ∠T + ∠R = 90°
⇒ x + 65° = 90°
⇒ x = 90° – 65° = 25°
(ii) Arc CQ subtends ∠SOQ at the centre and
∠STQ at the remaining part of the circle.
∠y = ∠QOS = 2∠T = 2∠x = 2 x 25° = 50°
(iii) In ∆OSP,
∠S = 90°
∴ ∠SOQ or ∠SOP + ∠P = 90°
⇒ y+z=90o
⇒ 50° + z = 90°
⇒ z = 90°-50° = 40°
Hence x = 25°, y = 50° and z = 40°

∵ OT ⊥ PT
∴ In right ΔOTP,
OP= OT2+PT2
⇒  (10)2 =(8)2+PT2
⇒  100 = 64+PT2

Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18A Q2.2
∠OBA = 90° (Radius through the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent)
⇒  OB2 = OA2 – AB2 ⇒ r2 = (r + 7.5)2 – 152
⇒ r2 = r2 + 56.25 + 15r – 225 168.75
⇒   15r= 168.75
⇒  r =\(\frac { 168.75 }{ 75 }\) ⇒ r=11.25
Hence, radius of the circle = 11.25 cm

Given: A circle touches the sides AB, BC, CD and DA of quad. ABCD at P,Q,R and S respectively.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18A Q7.2
To Prove: AB + CD = BC + AD
Proof: Since AP and AS are the tangents to the circle from external point A.
∴ AP = AS     ….(i)
Similarly, we can prove that,
BP=BQ               ….(ii)
CR=CQ             …(iii)
DR=DS          ….(iv)
Adding, we get:
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS
AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + DS + BQ + CQ
AB + CD = AD + BC

To Prove:
(i) AP + BQ + CR = BP + CQ + AR
(ii) AP + BQ + CR = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) Perimeter of Δ ABC.
Proof :
∵  From B, BQ and BP are the tangents to the circle.
∴ BQ = BP   ….(i)
Similarly we can prove that
AP= AR    ……… (ii)
and CR = CQ  …..(iii)
Adding we get
AP + BQ + CR = BP + CQ + AR ….(iv)
Adding AP + BQ + CR both sides,
2(AP + BQ + CR) = AP + PQ + CQ + QB + AR+CR.
⇒  2 (AP + BQ + CR) = AB + BC + CA

Question 11.
Radii of two circles are 6.3 cm and 3.6 cm. State the distance between their centres if 
(i) they touch each other externally,
(ii) they touch each other internally.
Solution:
Radius of bigger circle = 6.3 cm
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18A Q11.1
and raduis of smaller circle = 3.6 cm.
(i) Two circles touch each other at P externally. 0 and O’ are the centres of the circles.
Join OP and OP’
OP = 3.6 cm, O’P = 6.3 cm.
Adding we get
OO’ = OP + O’P = 3.6 + 6.3 = 9.9 cm
(ii) If the circles touch each other internally at P.
OP = 3.6 cm and O’P = 6.3 cm.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18A Q11.2
∴ OO’ = O’P – OP
= 6.3 – 3.6 = 2.7 cm

Question 12.
From a point P outside a circle, with centre O, tangents PA and PB are drawn. Prove that:
(i) ∠AOP = ∠BOP,
(ii) OP is the ⊥ bisector of chord AB.
Solution:
Given:  A circle with centre 0. A point P out side the circle. From P, PA and PB are the tangents to the circle, OP and AB are joined.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18A Q12.1
To prove:
(i) ∠AOP = ∠BOP
(ii) OP is the perpendicular bisector of chord AB.
Proof : In ∆ AOP and ∆ BOP,
AP = BP (Tangents from P to the circle.)
OP = OP (Common)
OA = OB (Radii of the same circle)
∴ ∆ AOP s ∆ BOP (SSS postulate)
∴∠AOP = ∠BOP (C.P.C.T.)
Now in ∆ OAM and ∆ OBM,
OA = OB (Radii of the same circle)
OM = OM (Common)
∠AOM = ∠BOM (Proved ∠AOP = ∠BOP)
∴ ∆ OAM = ∆ OBM (S.A.S. Postulate)
∴ AM = MB (C.P.C.T.)
and ∠OMA = ∠OMB (C.P.C.T.)
But ∠OMA + ∠OMB = 180° (Linear pair)
∴ ∠OMA = ∠OMB = 90°
Hence OM or OP is the perpendicular bisector of AB. Q.E.D.

Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18A Q13.2
AP, BP are joined. TPT’ is the common tangent to the circles.
To Prove : (i) TPT’ bisects AB (ii) ∠APB = 90°
Proof :
∵ TA and TP arc the tangents to the circle
∴ TA = TP …(i)
Similarly TP. = TB ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
TA = TB
∴ TPT’ is the bisector of AB.
Now in ∆ ATP
TA = TP
∴ ∠TAP = ∠TPA
Similarly in A BTP.
∠TBP = ∠TPB
Adding we get.
∠TAP + ∠TBP = ∠APB
But ∠TAP + ∠TBP + ∠APB = 180°
∴ ∠APB = ∠TAP + ∠TBP = 90°. Q.E.D.

In quadrilateral ABCD; angle D = 90°, BC = 38 cm and DC = 25 cm. A circle is inscribed in this quadrilateral which touches AB at point Q such that QB = 27 cm. Find the radius of the circle. |1990]
Solution:
BQ and BR arc the tangenls from B to the circle.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18A Q20.1
∴ BR = BQ = 27 cm.
∴ RC = 38-27 = 11 cm.
Since CR and CS are the tangents from C to the circle
∴ CS = CR= 11 cm.
∴ DS = 25 – 11 = 14 cm.
DS and DP are the tangents to the circle
∴ DS = DP
∴ ∠ PDS = 90° (given)
and OP ⊥ AD, OS ⊥ DC
∴ Radius = DS = 14 cm

Solution:
∠ QRP = ∠ OSR = y (Angles in the alternate segment)
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18A Q21.2
But OS = OR (radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ ORS = ∠ OSR = y°
∴ OQ = OR (radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ OQR = ∠ ORQ = 90° – y° ….(i) (OR ⊥ PT)
But in ∆ PQR,
Ext. ∠ OQR = x° + y° ….(ii)
from (i) and (ii)
x° + y° = 90° – y°

Join OC
∴ PA and PC are the tangents
∴ OA ⊥ PA and OC ⊥ PC
In quad APCO,
∴ ∠ APC + ∠ AOC = 180°

∴ ∠ AOC = 180° – 80° = 100°
∠ BOC = 360° – (∠ AOB + ∠ AOC)
= 360° – (140° + 100°)
= 360° – 240° = 120°
Now arc BC subtends ∠ BOC at the centre and ∠BAC at the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠ BAC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠BOC
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 120° = 60°

Question 2.
In the figure given below, diameter AB and chord CD of a circle meet at P. PT is a tangent to the circle at T. CD = 7.8 cm, PD = 5 cm, PB = 4 cm. Find:
(i) AB.
(ii) the length of tangent PT. (2014)
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q2.1
Solution:
PT is tangent and PDC is secant out to the circle
∴ PT² = PC x PD
PT² = (5 + 7.8) x 5 = 12.8 x 5
PT² = 64 ⇒ PT = 8 cm
In ΔOTP
PT² + OT² = OP²
8²+x² = (x + 4)²
⇒ 64 +x² = x² + 16 + 8x
64- 16 = 8x
⇒ 48 = 8x
x = \(\frac { 48 }{ 8 }\) = 6 cm
∴ Radius = 6 cm
AB = 2 x 6 = 12 cm

Question 3.
In the following figure, PQ is the tangent to the circle at A, DB is the diameter and O is the centre of the circle. If ∠ ADB = 30° and ∠ CBD = 60°, calculate
(i) ∠ QAB
(ii) ∠ PAD
(iii) ∠ CDB.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q3.1
Solution:
(i) PAQ is a tangent and AB is the chord, ∠ QAB = ∠ ADB (Angles in the alternate segment)
= 30°
(ii) OA = OD (Radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ OAD = ∠ ODA = 30°
But OA ⊥ PQ
∴ ∠ PAD = ∠ OAP – ∠OAD = 90° – 30° = 60°
(iii) BD is diameter
∴ ∠ BCD = 90° (Angle in semi circle)
Now in ∆ BCD,
∠ CDB + ∠ CBD + ∠ BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠ CDB + 60° + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠ CDB = 180°- (60° + 90°) = 180° – 150° = 30°

Question 4.
If PQ is a tangent to the circle at R; calculate:
(i) ∠ PRS
(ii) ∠ ROT.

Given O is the centre of the circle and angle TRQ = 30°.
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q4.1
PQ is tangent and OR is the radius
∴ OR ⊥ PQ
∴ ∠ORT = 90° =
∠TRQ = 90° – 30° = 60°
But in ∆ OTR, OT = OR (Radii of the circle)
∴ ∠ OTR = 60° or ∠STR = 60°
But ∠PRS = ∠STR (Angles in the alternate segment) = 60°
In ∆ ORT, ∠ OTR = 60°, ∠ TOR = 60°
∴ ∠ROT= 180°-(60°+ 60°)= 180°-120° = 60°

Question 5.
AB is the diameter and AC is a chord of a circle with centre O such that angle BAC = 30°. The tangent to the circle at C intersect AB produced in D. Show that BC = BD.
Solution:

Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q5.1
Given: In a circle, O is the centre,
AB is the diameter, a chord AC such that ∠ BAC = 30°
and a tangent from C, meets AB in D on producing. BC is joined.
To Prove: BC = BD
Construction: Join OC
Proof : ∠ BCD = ∠ BAC =30°(Angle in alternate segment)
Arc BC subtends ∠ DOC at the centre of the circle and ∠ BAC at the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠ BOC = 2 ∠ BAC = 2 x 30° = 60°
Now in ∆ OCD,
∠ BOC or ∠ DOC = 60° (Proved)
∠ OCD = 90° (∵ OC ⊥ CD)
∴ ∠ DOC + ∠ ODC = 90°
⇒ 60° + ∠ ODC = 90°
∴ ∠ ODC = 90°- 60° = 30°
Now in ∆BCD,
∵∠ ODC or ∠ BDC = ∠ BCD (Each = 30°)
∴ BC = BD Q.E.D.

Question 6.
Tangent at P to the circumcircle of triangle PQR is drawn. If this tangent is parallel to side QR, show that ∆PQR is isosceles.
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q6.1
In a circumcircle of ∆PQR, a tangent TPS is drawn through P which is parallel to QR
To prove : ∆PQR is an isosceles triangle.
Proof:
∵ TS \(\parallel\) QR
∠TPQ = ∠PQR (Alternate angles) ….(i)
∵ TS is tangent and PQ is the chord of the circle
∴ ∠TPQ = ∠RP (Angles in the alternate segment) ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
∠PQR = ∠QRP
∴ PQ = PR (Opposite sides of equal angles)
∴ ∆PQR is an isosceles triangle
Hence proved

Question 7.

Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q7.1
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q7.2
Given: Two circles with centre O and O’ intersect each other at A and B, O lies on the circumference, of the other circle. CD is a tangent at A to the second circle. AB, OA are joined.
To Prove: OA bisects ∠ BAC.
Construction: Join OB, O’A, O’B and OO’
Proof: CD is the tangent and AO is the chord
∠ OAC = ∠ OBA …(i)
(Angles in alt. segment)
In ∆ OAB, OA = OB (Radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ OAB = ∠ OBA ….(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
∠ OAC = ∠ OAB
∴ OA is the bisector of ∠ BAC Q.E.D.

Question 8.
Two circles touch each other internally at a point P. A chord AB of the bigger circle intersects the other circle in C and D. Prove that: ∠ CPA = ∠DPB.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q8.1
Solution:
Given:Two circles touch each other internally at P. A chord AB of the bigger circle intersects the smaller circle at C and D. AP, BP, CP and DP are joined.
To Prove: ∠ CPA = ∠ DPB
Construction: Draw a tangent TS at P to the circles given.
Proof:
∵ TPS is the tangent, PD is the chord.
∴ ∠ PAB = ∠ BPS …(i) ( Angles in alt. segment)
Similarly we can prove that
∠ PCD = ∠ DPS …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we gel
∠ PCD – ∠ PAB = ∠ DPS – ∠ BPS
But in ∆ PAC,
Ext. ∠ PCD = ∠ PAB + ∠ CPA
∴ ∠ PAB + ∠ CPA – ∠ PAB = ∠ DPS – ∠ BPS
∠ CPA = ∠ DPB           Q.E.D.

Question 9.
In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, the diagonal AC bisects the angle BCD. Prove that the diagonal BD is parallel to the tangent to the circle at point A.
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q9.1
Given: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral and diagonal AC bisects ∠ BCD. AT A. a tangent TAS is drawn. BD is joined.
To Prove: TS || BD.
Proof: ∠ ADB = ∠ ACB …….(i) (Angles in the same segment)
Similarly ∠ ABD = ∠ ACD ……..(ii)
But ∠ ACB = ∠ ACD (AC is the bisector of ∠ BCD)
∴ ∠ ADB = ∠ ABD |From (i) and (ii)]
TAS is a tangent and AB is chord
∴ ∠ BAS = ∠ ADB (Angles in all segment)
But ∠ ADB = ∠ ABD (Proved)
∴ ∠ BAS = ∠ ABD
But these are alternate angles.
∴ TS || BD.      Q.E.D.

Question 10.
In the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral with BC = CD. TC is tangent to the circle at point C and DC is produced to point G. If ∠ BCG = 108° and O is the centre of the circle,
Find:
(i) angle BCT
(ii) angle DOC
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q10.1
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q10.2
Join OC, OD and AC.
(i) ∠ BCG + ∠ BCD = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 108° + ∠ BCD = 180°
(∵∠ BCG = 108° given)
∴∠ BCD = 180° – 108° = 72°
BC = CD (given)
∴ ∠ DCP = ∠ BCT
But ∠ BCT + ∠ BCD + ∠ DCP = 180°
∴∠ BCT + ∠ BCT + 72° = 180°
(∵∠ DCP = ∠ BCT)
2 ∠ BCT = 180° – 72° = 108°
∴∠ BCT = \(\frac { { 108 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\) = 54°
(ii) PCT is the tangent and CA is chord
∴ ∠ CAD = ∠ BCT = 54°
But arc DC subtends ∠ DOC at the centre and
∠ CAD at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠ DOC = 2 ∠ CAD = 2 x 54° = 108°.

Question 11.
Two circles intersect each other at points A and B. A straight line PAQ cuts the circles at P and Q. If the tangents at P and Q intersect at point T; show that the points P, B, Q and T arc concyclic.
Solution:
Given: Two circles intersect each other at point A and B. PAQ is a line which intersects circles at P, A and Q. At P and Q, tangents are drawn to the circles which meet at T.
To Prove: P, B, Q, T are concyclic.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q11.1
Construction: Join AB, BP and BQ.
Proof: TP is the tangent and PA. a chord
∴ ∠ TPA = ∠ ABP
(angles in alt. segment)
Similarly we can prove that
∠ TQA = ∠ ABQ …,(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
∠ TPA + ∠ TQA = ∠ ABP + ∠ ABQ
But in ∆ PTQ,
∠ TPA + ∠ TQA + ∠ PTQ = 180°
⇒ ∠ TPA + ∠ TQA = 180° – ∠ PTQ
⇒ ∠ PBQ = 180°- ∠ PTQ
⇒ ∠ PBQ + ∠PTQ = 180°
But there are the opposite angles of the quadrilateral
∴ Quad. PBQT is a cyclic
Hence P, B. Q and T are concyclic     Q.E.D.

Show that triangle PAD is an isosceles triangle. Also shaw that:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q12.1
Solution:
Given: In a circle PA is the tangent, PBC is the secant and AD is the bisector of ∠BAC which meets the secant at D.
To Prove:
(i) ∆ PAD is an isosceles triangle.
(ii) ∠CAD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) [(∠PBA – ∠PAB)]
Proof:
(i) PA is the tangent and AB is chord.
∠PAB = ∠C ….(i)
(Angles in the alt. segment)
AD is the bisector is ∠BAC
∴ ∠1 = ∠2 ….(ii)
In ∆ ADC,
Ext. ∠ADP = ∠C + ∠1
= ∠PAB + ∠2 = ∠PAD
∴ ∆ PAD is an isosceles triangle.
(ii) In A ABC,
Ext. ∠PBA = ∠C + ∠BAC
∴∠BAC = ∠PBA – ∠C
⇒ ∠1 + ∠2 = ∠PBA – ∠PAB [from (i)]
⇒ 2 ∠1 = ∠PBA – ∠PAB
⇒ ∠1 = – [∠PBA – ∠PAB]
⇒ ∠CAD = – [∠PBA – ∠PAB] Q.E.D.

Question 13.
Two circles intersect each other at points A and B. Their common tangent touches the circles v at points P and Q as shown in the figure . Show that the angles PAQ and PBQ arc supplementary. [2000]
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q13.1
Solution:
Given: Two circles intersect each other at A and
B. A common tangent touches the circles at P and
Q. PA. PB, QA and QB are joined.
To Prove: ∠ PAQ + ∠ PBQ = 180°
or ∠ PAQ and ∠ PBQ are supplementary.
Construction: Join AB.
Proof: PQ is the tangent and AB is the chord
∴ ∠ QPA = ∠ PBA (alternate segment) ,…(i)
Similarly we can prove that
∠ PQA = ∠ QBA ,…(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
∠ QPA + ∠ PQA = ∠ PBA + ∠ QBA
But ∠ QPA + ∠ PQA = 180° – ∠ PAQ ,…(iii) (In ∆ PAQ)
and ∠ PBA + ∠ QBA = ∠ PBQ ,…(iv)
from (iii) and (iv)
∠ PBQ = 180° – ∠ PAQ
⇒ ∠ PBQ + ∠ PAQ = 180°
= ∠ PAQ + ∠ PBQ = 180°
Hence ∠ PAQ and ∠ PBQ arc supplementary Q.E.D.

Question 15.
Circles with centres P and Q intersect at points A and B as shown in the figure. CBD is a line segment and EBM is tangent to the circle, with centre Q, at point B. If the circles arc congruent; show that CE = BD.
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q15.1
Solution:
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q15.2
Given: Two circles with centre P and Q intersect each other at A and B. CBD is a line segment and EBM is tangent to the circle with centre Q, at B. Radii of the cirlces are equal.
To Prove: CE = BD
Construction: Join AB and AD.
Proof: EBM is the tangent and BD is the chord
∴ ∠ DBM = ∠ BAD (Anglesi in alt. segment)
But ∠ DBM = ∠ CBE (Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ∠ BAD = ∠ CBE
∵ In the same circle or congruent circles, if angles are equal, then chords opposite to them are also equal.
∴ CE = BD Q.E.D.

Question 16.
In the following figure O is the centre of ti.e circle and AB is a tangent to it at point B. ∠BDC = 65°, Find ∠BAO
Selina Concise Mathematics Class 10 ICSE Solutions Chapter 18 Tangents and Intersecting Chords Ex 18B Q16.1
Solution:
Given: ∠BDC = 65° and AB is tangent to circle with centre O.
∵ OB is radius
⇒ OB ⊥ AB
In ∆BDC
∠DBC + ∠BDC + ∠B CD = 180°
90° + 65° + ∠BCD =180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 25°
∵ OE = OC = radius
⇒ ∠OEC = ∠OCE
⇒ ∠OEC = 25°
Also, ∠BOE = ∠OEC + ∠OCE
[Exterior angle = sum of opposite interior angles in a ∆]
⇒ ∠BOE = 25°+ 25°
⇒∠BOE = 50°
⇒ ∠BOA = 50°
In ∆AOB
∠AOB + ∠BAO + ∠OBA = 180°
50° + ∠BAO + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAO = 40°
