CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

Circles of Class 9

CIRCLE:

The collection of all the points in a plane, which are at a fixed distance from a fixed point in the plane, is called a circle.

The fixed point is called the centre of the circle and the fixed distance is called the radius of the circle.

A circle is a geometric figure in a plane such that all its points are equidistant from a fixed point in a plane. The fixed point is the centre of the circle and the constant distance from the centre is the radius of the circle.

A circle has center O and radius r is usually denoted by C (O, r). Therefore in set notation, we write
C(O, r) = {X; OX = r}.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

In figure, O is the centre and the length OX is the radius of the circle. So the line segment joining the centre and any point on the circle is called a radius of the circle.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE:

The circumference of a circle is the length of the complete circular curve constituting the circle.

CHORD OF A CIRCLE:

In figure, line segment AB or CD  joining two points A and Bor C and D of the circle is called a chord of the circle.A line segment joining any two points of a circle is called a chord of the circle.


A chord passing through the centreC of the circle is called a diameter of the circle. A diameter of a circle is the longest chord of the circle and its length is twice the radius of the circle.

We have 

Diameter of a circle = 2 × radius of the circle

i.e., D = 2 r

Here, D is the length of diameter and r is the radius of the circle.


CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

ARC OF A CIRCLE:

Any two points A and B of a circle, divide the circle in two parts as shown in figure (i). The smaller part is called a minor arc of the circle as shown in figure (ii), and it is denoted by CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE. The larger part is called a major arc as shown in figure (iii). It is denoted by CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE where P is a point on this part of the arc. 


In case the two parts are equal, then we find LM is a diameter of the circle and two parts of the circle are equal. Each part of the circle as shown in figure (iv) is a semicircle.CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

Length of an arc

The length of an arc CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE is the length of the fine thread which just covers the arc completely. If CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE is the major arc and CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE is the minor arc, then we get that CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

A circle divides a plane into three parts, interior, exterior and the circle itself. The interior region is called the circular region. A chord divides a circular region into two parts, called the segments of the circular region or the segments of the circle. The smaller segment is called the minor segment and the large one is called the major segment. In case the two segments are equal, then each is called a semicircular region.CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

 

INTERIOR OF A CIRCLE:

The plane region lying in the circle as shown in figure is called the interior of the circle.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

The circle and its interior both as a whole constitutes the circular region.

SEGMENT OF A CIRCULAR REGION:

A chord LM divides a circular region in two parts as shown in figure. The smaller part is called the minor segment and the larger part is called the major segment of the circular region. In case chord LM is a diameter of the circle, then the two segments are equal and each is called as semicircular region.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

EXTERIOR OF A CIRCLE:

If a circle be drawn in the plane X (infinite dimensions), then the part of the plane region outside the circular region is called the exterior of the circle as shown in figure.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

CONGRUENT CIRCLES:

Two circles are congruent to each other if and only if they have equal radii.

In the figure two circles have equal radii. Therefore, the two circles are congruent to each other.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

DIAMETER(d):

The chord which passes through the centre of the circle, is called a diameter of the circle.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

A diameter is the longest chord and all diameter have the same length, which is equal to two times the radius. In figure, AOB is a diameter of circle.

SECTOR (h): 

The region between an arc and the two radii, joining the centre to the end points of the arc is called a sector. Like segments, we find that the minor arc corresponds to the minor sector and the major arc corresponds to the major sector. In figure, the region OPQ in the minor sector and the remaining part of the circular region is the major sector. When two arcs are equal, then both segments and both sectors become the same and each is known as a semicircular region.

THEOREM1:

Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre.

Given :AB and CD are the two equal chords of a circle with centre O.

To Prove :∠AOB = ∠COD.

Proof :In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

OA = OC [Radii of a circle] 

OB = OD [Radii of a circle]

AB = CD [Given]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ΔAOB ≅ΔCOD [By SSS]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ∠AO B = ∠COD. [By cpctc]

Converse of above Theorem:

In the angles subtended by the chords of a circle at the centre are equal, then the chords are equal.

44.jpg

Given :∠AOB and ∠POQ are two equal angles subtended by chords AB and PQ of a circle at its centre O.

To Prove :AB = PQ

Proof :In ΔAOB and ΔPOQ,

OA = OP [Radii of a circle]

OB = OQ [Radii of a circle]

∠AOB = ∠POQ [Given]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ΔAOB≅ΔPOQ [By SAS]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AB = PQ [By cpctc] Hence Proved.

question 1 AB is a chord of a circle having centre at O. If ∠AOB = 60º, prove that the length of chord AB is equal to radius.

Solution: In figure O is the centre and r is the radius of the circle.

Chord AB subtend ∠AOB = 60º at the centre of the circle.

Here, OA = OB = r

⇒ ∠OAB = ∠OBA [∠s opp. to equal sides]

i.e., ∠A = ∠B ... (i)

In ΔOAB,∠O + ∠A + ∠B = 180º [angle sum property]

⇒ 60º + ∠A + ∠B = 180º

⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 120º ... (ii)

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

From (i) and (ii), ∠A = ∠B = 60º

Thus,∠O = ∠A = ∠B = 60º

⇒ ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle.

⇒ AB = OA = OB = r.

i.e., AB = r

THEOREM2:

The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.

Given:  A circle with centre O. AB is a chord of this circle. OM CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AB.

To Prove :MA = MB.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

Construction :Join OA and OB.

Proof :In right triangles OMA and OMB,

OA = OB [Radii of a circle]

OM = OM [Common]

∠OMA = ∠OMB [90o each]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ΔOMA≅ΔOMB [By RHS]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE MA = MB [By cpctc] Hence Proved.

Converse of above Theorem:

The line drawn through the centre of a circle to bisect a chord a perpendicular to the chord.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

Given :A circle with centre O. AB is a chord of this circle whose mid-point is M.

To Prove :OM CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AB.

Construction :Join OA and OB.

Proof :In ΔOMA and ΔOMB. 

MA = MB [Given]

OM = OM [Common]

OA = OB [Radii of a circle]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ΔOMA≅ΔOMB [By SSS]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ∠AMO = ∠BMO [By cpctc]

But ∠AMO + ∠BMO = 180o [Linear pair axiom]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ∠AMO = ∠BMO = 90o

⇒ OM CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AB.

THEOREM 3:

There is one and only one circle passing through three given non-collinear points.

Proof: Let us take three points A, B and C, which are not on the same line, or in other words, they are not collinear [as in figure]. Draw perpendicular bisectors of AB and BC say, PQ and RS respectively. Let these perpendicular bistros intersect at one point O. (Note that PQ and RS will intersect because they are not parallel) [as in figure]. 

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE O lies on the perpendicular bisector PQ of AB.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE OA = OB

[CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEEvery point on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment is equidistant from its end points]

Similarly,

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE O lies on the perpendicular bisector RS of BC.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE OB = OC

[CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEEvery point on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment is equidistant from its end points]

So, OA = OB = OC

i.e., the points A, B and C are at equal distances from the point O.

So, if we draw a circle with centre O and radius OA it will also pass through B and C. This shows that there is a circle passing through the three points A, B and C. We know that two lines (perpendicular bisectors) can intersect at only one point, so we can draw only one circle with radius OA. In other words, there is a unique circle passing through A, B and C.

Hence Proved.

Things to remember :

If ABC is a triangle, then by above theorem, there is a unique circle passing through the three vertices A, B and C of the triangle. This circle the circumcircle of the ΔABC. Its centre and radius are called respectively the circumcentre and the circumradius of the triangle.

question 2 In the given figure, AB is the diameter of the circle. If C is a point on the circle such that CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEADC = 700, then CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEBAC is

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

(a) 200 (b) 600 (c) 700 (d) 300

Solution: Given AB is the diameter, CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEADC = 700

As AB is the diameter of the circle, CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEADB = 900 ( Angle in a semicircle = 900)

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEBDC = CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEADB – CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEADC = 900 – 700 = 200

andCIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEBAC = CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEBDC ( As angles in the same segment are equal)

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEBAC = 200

question 3 In figure, AB = CB and O is the centre of the circle. Prove that BO bisects CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEABC.

Solution: Given: In figure, AB = CB and O is the centre of the circle.

To Prove: BO bisects CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEABC.

Construction: Join OA and OC.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

Proof :In ΔOAB and ΔOCB,

OA = OC [Radii of the same circle]

AB = CB [Given]

OB = OB [Common]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ΔOAB≅ΔOCB [By SSS]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ∠ABO = ∠CBO [By cpctc]

⇒ BO bisects ∠ABC. Hence Proved.

Solution: A, B and C are three points. Join AB, BC and AC. Draw their perpendicular bisectors, these perpendicular bisectors will pass through centre CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE will meet at O which will be centre.CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE



 

question 5 Two circles with centres A and B intersect at C and D. Prove that ∠ACB = ∠ADB.

Solution: Given :Two circles with centres A and B intersect at C and D.

To Prove :∠ACB = ∠ADB.

Construction :Join AC, AD, BC, BD and AB.

Proof :In ΔACB an ΔADB,

AC = AD [Radii of the same circle]

BC = BD [Radii of the same circle]

AB = AB [Common]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ΔACB≅ΔADB [By SSS]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ∠ACB = ∠ADB. [By cpctc] Hence Proved.

question 6 In figure, AB≅ACand O is the centre of the circle. Prove that OA is the perpendicular bisector of BC.

Solution: Given :In figure, AB≅AC and O is the centre of the circle.

To Prove :OA is the perpendicular bisector of BC.

Construction :Join OB and OC. 

Proof :

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AB≅AC [Given]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE chord AB = chord AC.

[CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEIf two arcs of a circle are congruent, then their corresponding chords are equal.]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ∠AOB = ∠AOC ....(i)

[CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEEqual chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

In ΔOBC and ΔOCD,

∠DOB = ∠DOC [From (1)]

OB = OC [Radii of the same circle]

OD = OD [Common]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ΔOBD≅ΔOCD [By SAS]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ∠ODB = ∠ODC ....(ii) [By cpctc]

AndBD = CD ...(ii) [By cpctc]

But ∠BDC = 180o

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ∠ODB + ∠ODC = 180o

⇒ ∠ODB + ∠ODB = 180o [From equation (ii)]

⇒ 2∠ODB = 180o

⇒ ∠ODB = 90o

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ∠ODB = ∠ODC = 90o ....(iv) [From (ii)]

So, by (iii) and (iv), OA is the perpendicular bisector of BC. Hence Proved.

question 7 Two circles with centres A and B intersect each other at P and Q and M is the mid-point of PQ. Give reasons fro the following statements:

(i) AM PQ

(ii) BM PQ

(iii) A, M, B are collinear

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

Solution: (i) M is the mid point of chord PQ. A is centre

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

 

(ii) CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEsimilar to (i)

(iii) A, M, B are collinear CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE by part (i) and (ii)

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AMB is a straight line.

question 8 In the following figure, the bisectors of angles BAD and BCD intersect the circle at E and F respectively. If CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEEFA = 400, then CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEAEF is 

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

(a) 600 (b) 500 (c) 400 (d) 300

Solution: In the figure, if CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDAE = x and CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE BCF = y.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEBAE = x0 and CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEBCD = y0 ( A and C are the bisectors)

2CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDAE + 2CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDCF = 1800

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDAE + CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDCF = CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

i.e., x + y = 900

As angles in the segment are equal CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEFAD = CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDCF = y

Hence CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEEAF = CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEEAD + CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDAF = 900

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEAEF = 1800 – (CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEEAF + CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEEFA) = 1800 – (900 + 400) = 500

THEOREM 4:

Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the centre (or centres).

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

Given: A circle have two equal chords AB & CD. .e. AB = CD and OM CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AB, ON CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE CD

To Prove: OM = ON

Construction: Join OB & OD

Proof: AB = CD (Given)

[The perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to bisect the chord.]

 CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

⇒ BM = DN

In ΔOMB &ΔOND

∠OMB = ∠OND = 90o [Given]

OB = OD [Radii of same circle]

Side BM = Side DN [Proved above]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ΔOMB≅ΔOND [By R.H.S.]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE OM = ON [By cpctc] Hence Proved.

Things to remember :

Chords equidistant from the centre of a circle are equal in length.

question 9 In a circle of radius 13 cm find the distance of a chord of length 24 cm, from the centre. 

If OM || BC, find BC.

Solution: Let PQ be a chord of a circle with centre O such that OP = 13 cm, PQ = 24 cm.

Let,OM PQ then PM = MB = 12 cm.

From right triangle OPMCIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

Distance of chord = 5 cm

Since CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE PC is a diameter

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE BC = 10 cm CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

question 10 AB and CD are equal chords of a circle whose centre is O. When produced, these chords meet at E. Prove that EB = ED.

Solution: Given :AB and CD are equal chords of a circle whose centre is O. When produced, these chords meet at E.

To Prove :EB = ED.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

Construction :From O draw OP CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AB and OQ CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE CD. Join OE.

Proof: CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AB = CD [Given]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE OP = OQ [CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEEqual chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre]

Now in right tingles OPE and OQE,

OE = OE [Common]

Side OP = Side OQ [Proved above] 

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE ΔOPECIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEΔOQE [By RHS]

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE OE = QE [By cpctc]

⇒ PE –1/2AB = QE –1/2CD [CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AB = CD (Given)]

⇒ PE – PB = QE – QD

⇒ EB = ED. Hence Proved.

question 11 Bisector AD of ∠BAC of ΔABC passed through the centre O of the circumcircle of ΔABC. Prove that AB = AC.

Solution: Given :Bisector AD of ∠BAC of ΔABC passed through the centre O of the circumcircle of ΔABC, 

To Prove: AB = AC.

Construction: Draw OP CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AB and OQ CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE AC.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

Proof:

In ΔAPO and ΔAQO,

∠OPA = ∠OQA [Each = 90o (by construction)]

∠OAP = ∠OAQ [Given]

OA = OA [Common]

∴ ΔAPO≅ΔAQO [By ASS cong. prog.]

∴ OP = OQ [By cpctc]

∴ AB = AC. [CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE Chords equidistant from the centre are equal] Hence Proved.

THEOREM5:

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.

Given: An arc PQ of a circle subtending angles POQ at the centre O and PAQ at a point A on the remaining part of the circle.

To Prove :∠POQ = 2∠PAQ.

Construction :Join AO and extend it to a point B.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

(a) (b) (c)

Proof: There arises three cases :

(a)are PQ is minor

(b)arc PQ s a semi - circle

(c)arc PQ is major.

In all the cases,

∠BOQ = ∠OAQ + ∠AQO ....(i)

[An exterior angle of triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles]

In OAQ,

OA = OQ [Radii of a circle]

∴ ∠OAQ = ∠OQA ...(ii) [Angles opposite equal of a triangle are equal]

(i) and (ii), give,

∠BOQ = 2∠OAQ ....(iii)

Similarly,

∠BOP = 2∠OAP ....(iv)

Adding (iii) and (iv), we get

∠BOP + ∠BOQ = 2(∠OAP + ∠OAQ)

⇒ ∠POQ = 2∠PA. ....(v)

NOTE :For the case (c), where PQ is the major arc, (v) is replaced by reflex angles.

Thus, ∠POQ = 2∠PAQ.

THEOREM6:

Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.

Proof: Let P and Q be any two points on a circle to form a chord PQ, A and C any other points on the remaining part of the circle and O be the centre of the circle. Then,

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

∠POQ = 2∠PAQ ...(i)

And∠POQ = 2∠PCQ ...(ii) 

From above equations, we get

2∠PAQ = 2∠PCQ

⇒ ∠PAQ = ∠PCQ Hence Proved 

question 12 In the given figure, if ∠ACB = 400, ∠DPB = 1200, then y will be

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

(a) 400 (b) 200 (c) 00 (d) 600

Solution: CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEADB = CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEACB = 400 (Angles in the same segment)

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEPDB = 400  ⇒ CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDPB = 1200

In ∆ DPB, CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEPBD + CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDPB + CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEPDB = 1800

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEPBD + 1200 + 400 = 1800

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEPBD + 1600 = 1800

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEPBD = 1800 – 1600 = 200

y = 200

THEOREM7:

Angle in the semicircle is a right angle.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

Proof :∠PAQ is an angle in the segment, which is a semicircle. 

∴ ∠PAQ = 1/2∠PAO = 1/2 × 180o = 90o

[∴∠PQR is straight line angle or ∠PQR = 180o]

If we take any other point C on the semicircle, then again we get

∠PCQ = 1/2∠POQ = 1/2 × 180o = 90o Hence Proved.

THEOREM8:

If a line segment joining two points subtend equal angles at two other points lying on the same side of the lien containing the line segment the four points lie on a circle (i.e., they are concyclic).

Given :AB is a line segment, which subtends equal angles at two points C and D. i.e., ∠ACB = ∠ADB.

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

To Prove :The points A, B, C and D lie on a circle.

Proof :Let us draw a circle through the points A, C and B.

Suppose it does not pass through the point D.

Then it will intersect AD (or extended AD) at a point, say E (or E’).

If points A,C,E and B lie on a circle,

∠ACD = ∠AEB [∴ Angles in the same segment of circle are equal]

But it is given that ∠ACB = ∠ADB

Therefore, ∠AEB = ∠ADB

This is possible only when E coincides with D. [As otherwise ∠AEB >∠ADB]

Similarly, E’ should also coincide with D. So A, B, C and D are concyclic. Hence Proved.

question 13. In the given figure, PR is the diameter of the circle with centre O. ∠QPS = 400 and ∠PQT = 300. Then ∠TUR is

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

(a) 400 (b) 500 (c) 600 (d) 700

Solution: CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEQTS = CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEQPS + CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEPQT = 400 + 300 = 700

( As exterior angle CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEQTS for triangle QPT is equal to sum of interior opposite angles)

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEQTS = CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEPTO = 700 (both are vertically opposite angles)

As PR is the diameter of the circle, CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEPTR = 900, 

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLERTO = CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEPTR – CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEPTO = 900 – 700 = 200

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLETUR = 1/2CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLETOR =1/2(1800 – CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEOTR – CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEORT) = 1/2 (1800 – 2CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEOTR) (As OT = OR)

= 1/2 (1800 – 400) = 700

question 14. In the given figure, CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLECAB = 800, CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEABC = 400. The sum of CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDAB + CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEABD is equal to

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

(a) 800 (b) 1000 (c) 1200 (d) 1400

Solution: Given CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLECAB = 800, CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEABC = 400

from triangle ABC, CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEACB = 600

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEADB = 600 ( Angles in the same segment are equal )

In ∆ ABD, CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEADB + CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDAB + CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDBA = 1800

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDAB + CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLEDBA = (1800 – 600) = 1200
