    Question 1
    CBSEENMA10008554

    Draw a line segment of length 7.6 cm and divide it in the ratio 5 : 8. Measure the two parts.

    Solution

    Steps of Construction :
    (i)     Draw AB = 5.6 cm
    (ii)    At a draw an acute ∠BAX below base AB.

    (iii)    On AX make 5 + 8 i.e. 13 equal parts and mark them as A1, A2, A3, A4,... A13

    (iv)    Join B to A13. From A5 draw A5C || A13B. C is the required point of division and AC : CB = 5 : 8.

    On measuring, we get
    AC = 3.1 cm,
    CB = 4.5 cm
    Justification :

    because space space straight A subscript 5 straight C space space space space parallel to space space space straight A subscript 13 straight B
therefore space space space fraction numerator AA subscript 5 over denominator straight A subscript 5 straight A subscript 13 end fraction space equals space AC over CB space
space space
    [Using basic proportionally theorem]
    But space space space space space fraction numerator AA subscript 5 over denominator straight A subscript 5 straight A subscript 13 end fraction space equals space 5 over 8 space
    Therefore,    AC over CB space equals space 5 over 8 space

    This shows that C divides AB in the ratio 5 : 8.

    Draw a circle of radius 6 cm. From a point 10 cm away from its centre, construct the pair of tangents to the circle and measure their lengths.

    Solution

    Fig. 

    Steps of Construction :
    (i)    Construct a circle of radius 6 cm.
    (ii)    Join PO and bisect it Let M be the midpoint of PO.
    (iii)    Taking M as centre and MO as radius, draw a circle. Let it intersect the given circle at the points Q and R.
    (iv)    Join PQ and PR.
    (v)    PQ and PR are the required two tangents.
    (vi)    PQ = PR = 8 cm.
    Justification :
    Join OQ and OR.
    ∵ ∠OQP and ∠ORP are the angles in semi circles.
    ∠OQP = 90° = ∠ORP
    Also, since OQ, OR are radii of the circle, PQ and PR will be the tangents to the circle at Q and R respectively.

    Question 9
    CBSEENMA10008562

    Construct a tangent to a circle of radius 4 cm from a point on the concentric circle of radius 6 cm and measure its length. Also verify the measurement by actual calculation.

    Solution

    Fig. 


    Steps of Construction :
    (i)    Join PO and bisect it. Let M be the midpoint of PO.
    (ii)    Taking Mas centre and MO as radius, draw a circle. Let it intersect the given circle at the point Q and R.
    (iii)    Join PQ.
    By measurement PQ = 4.5 cm
    Then PQ is the required tangent.
    By actual calculation,

    PQ space equals space square root of OP squared minus OQ squared end root
space space space space space space space space space left square bracket space By space Pythogoras space Theorem right square bracket
space space space space space space equals space square root of left parenthesis 6 right parenthesis squared minus left parenthesis 4 right parenthesis squared end root
space space space space space space equals space square root of 36 minus 16 end root space equals space square root of 20
space space space space space space equals space 4.47 space cm

    Justification :
    Join OQ. Then ∠PQO an angle in the semi-circle and, therefore
    ∠PQO = 90
    ⇒    PQ ⊥ OQ
    Since, OQ is a radius of the given circle, PQ has to be a tangent to the circle.

    Question 10
    CBSEENMA10008563

    Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. Take two points at a distance 7 cm from its centre. Draw tangents to the circle from these two points P and Q.

    Solution

    Steps of Construction :
    (i) Bisect PQ. Let M be the mid-point of PO.
    (ii)    Taking M as centre and MO as radius, draw a circle which intersect the given circle at the points A and B.
    (iii)    Join PA and PB.
    Now, PA and PB are the required two tangents.
    (iv)    Bisect QO. Let N be the mid-point of QO.
    (v)    Taking N as centre and NO as radius, draw a circle. Let it intersect the given circle at the points C and D.
    (vi)    Join QC and QD.

    Then QC and QD are the required two tangents.
    Justification : Join OA and OB.
    Then ∠PAO is an angle in the semicircle and, therefore,
    ∠PAO = 90°
    ⇒    PA ⊥ OA
    Since, OA is a radius of the given circle, PA has to be a tangent to the circle. Similarly, PB is also a tangent to the circle.
    Again, Join OC and OD.
    Then ∠QCO is an angle on the semicircle and therefore,
    ∠QCO = 90°
    Since, OC is a radius of the given circle, QC has to be a tangent to the circle.
    Similarly, QD is also a tangent to the circle.



    Question 11
    CBSEENMA10008564

    Draw a pair of tangents to a circle of radius 5 cm which are inclined to each other at an angle of 60°.

    (i)    Take a point O on the plane of the paper and draw a circle of radius OA = 5 cm.
    (ii)    Produce OA to B such that OA = AB = 5 cm.
    (iii)    Taking A as the centre draw a circle of radius AO = AB = 5 cm.
    (iv)    It cuts the circle at P and Q.
    (v)    Join BP and BQ to get the desired tangents.

    Justification :

    In AOAP, we have
    OA = OP = 5 cm (= Radius)
    Also, AP = 5 cm (Radii of circle)
    ∴ ΔOAP is equilateral.
    ⇒ ∠PAO = 60°
    ⇒ ∠BAP = 120°
    In ΔBAP, we have
    BA = AP and ∠BAP = 120°
    ∴ ∠ABP = ∠APB = 30°
    ⇒ ∠PBQ = 60°

    Question 89
    CBSEENMA10009605

    Draw a circle of radius 4 cm. Draw two tangents to the circle inclined at an angle of 60o to each other.

    Solution

    Steps of construction:
    (i) Take a point O on the plane of the paper and draw a circle of radius OA = 4 cm.
    (ii) Produce OA to B such that OA = AB = 4 cm.
    (iii) Draw a circle with centre at A and radius AB.
    (iv) Suppose it cuts the circle drawn in step (i) at P and Q.
    (v) Join BP and BQ to get the desired tangents.

    Justification:
    In ΔOAP, OA = OP = 4 cm ...(radii of the same circle)
    Also, AP = 4 cm ….(Radius of the circle with centre A)

    ∴ ΔOAP is equilateral.
    ∠PAO = 60o
    ∴ ∠BAP = 120o
    In ΔBAP, we have BA = AP and ∠ BAP = 120o
     ∴∠ABP = ∠APB = 30o
    Similarly we can get ∠ABQ = 30o
    ∴ ∠PBQ = 60o

    Question 90
    CBSEENMA10009637

    Prove that the length of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is equal.

    Solution

    Given: TP and TQ are two tangent drawn from an external point T to the circle C (O, r).


    To prove: TP = TQ
    Construction: Join OT
    Proof: we know that a tangent to the circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contanct.
    ∴ ∠OPT = ∠OQT = 90o
    In Δ OPT  and ΔOQT
    OT = OT  (common)
    OP = OQ (radius of the circle)
    ∠OPT = ∠OQT (90o)
    ∴ ∠OPT = ∠OQT (RHS congruence criterion)
    ⇒ TP = TQ (CPCT)
    Hence, the length of the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is equal.

    Question 91

    Construct a ΔABC in which AB = 6 cm, ∠A = 30o and ∠B = 60o. Construct another ΔAB'C' similar to ΔABC with base AB' = 8 cm

    Solution

    Scale factor  fraction numerator AB apostrophe over denominator AB end fraction space equals space 8 over 6 space equals space 4 over 3
    The required triangle can be drawn using the following steps:
    1. Draw  a ΔABC with side AB = 6 cm, ∠A = 30o and ∠B = 60o.
    2. Draw a ray AZ making an acute angle with AB on the opposite side of vertex C.
    3. Locate 4 points ( as 4 is greater in 4 and 3) A1, A2, A3, and A4 on AZ.
    4. Join A3B. Draw a line through A4 parallel to A3B intersecting extended AB at B'.
    5. Through B', drawn a line parallel to BC intersecting ray AX at C'.
    Hence, ΔAB'C' is the required triangle.

    Solution

    We have,

                            

    Area of the region ABCD

      = Area of the sector AOB - Area of the sector COD

     = 60360 x 227 x 42 x 42  -  60360 x 227 x 21 x 21 cm2= 16 x 22 x 6 x 42  -  16 x 22 x 3 x 21 cm2= 22 x 42 - 11 x 21 cm2 = 924 - 231 cm2= 693 cm2Area of circular ring = 227 x 42 x42 - 227 x 21 x21 cm2                                    = 22 x 6 x 42 - 22 x 3 x 21 cm2                                   = 5544 - 1386 cm2                                   = 4158 cm2

    Hence, Required shaded region = Area of circular ring - Area of region ABCD

                                                 = (4158 - 693) cm2

                                                 = 3465 cm2

    Solution

    AC = 24 cm,  AB = 7 cm

                                       

    Since BC is the diameter of the circle,

    So, BAC = 90°In right BAC,BC2 = AC2 = AB2BC2 = 242 + 72BC2 =625 BC = 25So, the radius of the circle = OC = 12.5 cmArea of the shaded region = Area of the circle - Area of BAC - Area of sector CD= πr2 - 12 x AB X AC - θ360 X   πr2 = 227 x 12.5 x 12.5 - 12 x 7 x 24 - 90360 x 227 x 12.5 x 12.5                  ..........(BOD = 90°   COD = 90° )= 491.07 - 84 - 122.77= 284.3 cm2  ( approximately)Hence, the area of the shaded region is 284.3 cm2 approximately.

    If the area of a circle is equal to sum of the areas of two circles of diameters 10 cm and 24 cm, then the diameter of the larger circle (in cm) is

    • 34

    • 26

    • 17

    • 14

    Solution

    B.

    26

    Diameter of two circles are given as 10 cm and 24 cm.

    Radius of one circle = r1 = 5 cm,  Radius of other circle = r2 = 12 cm.

    According to the given information,

    Area of the larger circle = π(r1)2 + π(r2)2                                    = π(5)2 + π(12)2                                    = π(25 + 144)                                    = 169π                                    = π(13)2

     Radius of the larger circle = 13 cm

    Hence, the diameter of larger circle = 26 cm.
