Draw a circle of radius 4 cm. Draw two tangents to the circle inclined at an angle of 60o to each other.
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
Prove that the length of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is equal.
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.
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
Scale factor
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.
In the given figure, two concentric circles with centre O have radii 21 cm and 42 cm. If ∠AOB = 60°, find the area of the shaded region.
We have,
Area of the region ABCD

Hence, Required shaded region = Area of circular ring - Area of region ABCD
= (4158 - 693) cm2
= 3465 cm2
In the given figure, O is centre of the circle with AC = 24 cm, AB = 7 cm and ∠BOD = 90°. Find the area of the shaded region.
AC = 24 cm, AB = 7 cm
Since BC is the diameter of the circle,
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

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,
Radius of the larger circle = 13 cm
Hence, the diameter of larger circle = 26 cm.
In fig., OABC is a square of side 7 cm. If OAPC is a quadrant of a circle with centre O, then find the area of the shaded region.
Given: OABC is a square of side 7 cm
i.e. OA = AB = BC = OC = 7 cm
Area of square OABC = ( side )2 = 72 = 49 sq. cm.
Given, OAPC is a quadrant of a circle with centre O.
Radius of the sector = OA = OC = 7 cm.
Sector angle = 900
In fig., PQ and AB are respectively the arcs of two concentric circles of radii 7 cm and 3.5 cm and centre O. If POQ = 300, then find the area of the shaded region.
Area of the shaded region = Area of the sector POQ - Area of the sectos AOB
