Circles Class 10 Kerala Syllabus Question 1.
Suppose we draw a circle with the bottom side of the triangles in the picture as diameter. Find out whether the top corner of each triangle is inside the circle, on the circle or outside the circle.
Answer:
Angle of the first triangle =110°
As 110° > 90° the top comer will be inside the circle
Angle of second triangle = 90°
∴ The top comer will be on the circle.
Angle of the third triangle = 70°
70° > 90°
∴ The top comer will be outside the circle
Sslc Maths Circles Questions And Answers Question 2.
For each diagonal of the quadrilateral shown, check whether the other two corners are inside, on or outside the circle with that diagonal as diameter
Answer:
The fourth angle in ABCD
= 360 – (110 + 105 + 55) = 360
Drawing diagonal AC and taking it as diameter of a circle As, ∠D = 90°
D will be on the circle. ∠B = 55° (90 > 55°)
∴ B will be outside the circle
Drawing diagonal BD and taking it as diameter of a circle.
∠A = 105°, ∠C = 110°
As both angles are greater than 90, they lie inside the circle.
Sslc Maths Chapter 2 Kerala Syllabus Question 3.
If circles are drawn with each side of a triangle of sides 5 centimetres, 12 centimetres and 13 centimetres, as diametres, then with respect to each circle, where would be the third vertex?
Answer:
As the sides are 5, 12, 13 cm and also
52 + 122 = 25 + 144 = 169 = 132
∴ ABC is a right triangle
Taking BC as diameter and drawing a circle, ∠A (<90°), A will be outside the circle.
Taking AB as diameter and drawing a circle ∠C (<90°) C will be outside the circle.
Taking AC as diameter and drawing a circle, ∠B = 90°, B will be on the circle.
Circles Class 10 Scert Solutions Kerala Syllabus Question 4.
In the picture, a circle is drawn with a line as diameter and a smaller circle with half the line as diameter. Prove that any chord of the larger circle through the point where the circles meet is bisected by the small circle.
Answer:
∠ADO = ∠APB = 90°
(angle subtended by diameter is always 90°)
⇒ OD\\PB
AO = OB (Radius of bigger circle)
(If in a triangle, the line drawn from midpoint of one side, is parallel to another side, then the line will bisect the third side)
Therefore AD = DP
(AB’s midpoint is ‘O’ and OD\\PB)

Prove that all four circles drawn with the sides of a rhombus as diameters pass through a common point.
Prove that this is true for any quadrilat¬eral with adjacent sides equal, as in the picture.
Answer:
ABCD is a rhombus so diameter are perpendicular bisectors.
∠AOD = 90°
O be on the circle having diameter AD.
∠AOB = 90°, therefore
O be on the circle having diameter AB.
∠BOC= 90°, therefore

∠COD = ∠BOC and,
AD = AB,
AO be the common side.
Δ AOD, Δ AOB are equal triangles.
OD = OB

Kerala Syllabus 10th Standard Maths Circles Question 1.
Calcula te the angles of the quadrilateral in the picture and also the angles between their diagonals:
Answer:
Since
∠ACD = 30°
∠ABD = 30°
(Angle in the same segment of a circle)
Since ZCBD = 45°
∠CAD = 45°
Since ZBDC = 50°
∠BAC = 50°
∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180 (cyclic quadrilateral)
∠ABC = 75°
∴ ∠ADC = 180 – 75 = 105°
∠ADB = 105 – 50 = 55°
As, ∠BAD = 95°
∠DCB = 180 – 95 = 85°
∴ ∠ACB = 85 – 30 = 55°

i. Prove that the angles of Δ APC and Δ PBD, formed by joining AC and BD, are the same.
ii. Prove that PA × PB = PC × PD.
iii. Prove that if PB = PD, then ABDC is an isosceles trapezium.

If ∠ACD = y° then ∠PBD = y°
As ∠APC is common angle.
Angles of Δ APC and Δ PBD are same
iii. If PB = PD ; AP= PC
In ABCD
ABDC is a cyclic quadrilateral, so their opposite angles are supplementary.
If AP = PC, in ∆ APC
∠A =∠C
As AB = CD
AC || BD
Adjacent angles are supplementary
∴ ABCD will be an isosceles trapezium
Question 2.

Extend AB up to 6cm.
(AE = 6cm) Draw an arc having radius as AE and A as centre. Extend DA and mark the point F.
Extend BA towards left. Mark G as AD = AG
Draw Δ GFB.
Circum circle of Δ GFB meets AD at D.

That is area of the rectangle having length AB and width AD is equal to the area of rectangle having length AE and width AH.
ii. Draw a rectangle of length 5cm and width 3cm. Area = 5 x 3 = 15 cm2.
Therefore side of a square will be √15.

Question 5.
In the picture, a line through the centre of a circle cuts a chord into two parts:
What is the radius of the circle?
Answer:
The intersection may be with in the circle.
Chords AB & CD intersect at P i. e.,
AP × PB = CP × PD
(The intersection will be inside the circle)
AP × PB = CP × PD
4 × 6 = CP × (OP + OD)
24 = CP × (OP + OC)
24 = CP × (OP + OP + CP)
24 = CP × (5 + 5 + CP)
24 = CP × (10 + CP)
CP =2
Radius = CP + OP = 2 + 5 = 7cm
Question 6.
In the picture, a line through the centre of a circle meets a chord of the circle:
What are the lengths of the two pieces of the chord?

PB = 5, 8
If PB = 5cm then PC = 8cm
If PB = 8cm then PC = 5cm
In figure PB > PC
PB = 8 cm, PC = 5 cm

Question 30.
In the figure AB is the diameter. PC is perpendicular to AB. PC = 6cm, PB = 3cm. Find the radius of the semi-circle.
Answer:
AP × PB = PC2
AP × 3 = 62
AP = 36/3 = 12 .
AB = 12 + 3 = 15
ie Radius = 15/2 = 7.5 cm
Question 31.
In Δ PQR, ZP = 60°, ∠R = 30° find whether the vertex Q on the circle with PR as diameter.
Answer:
∠P + ∠R = 60 + 30 = 90°.
∴ ∠Q = 180 – 90 = 90°.
So point Q on the circle.

Question 36.
Show that the arcs APC, BQD when joined make a semicircle?
Answer:
∠ADC is the half of the central angle of arc APC
The central angle of are APC = 2 ∠ADC
The central angle of arc BQD = 2 ∠DAB
In triangle AOD, CD ⊥ AB, ∠AOD = 90°,
∠DAO + ∠ADO = 180 – 90° =90°,
ie, ∠DAB + ∠ADC = 90°
2( ∠DAB + ∠ADC ) = 90° × 2 = 180°
Question 37.
The central angle of the complementary arc of a circle is 40° more than 3 times the central angle of the arc. Find out the central angles of each arc?
Answer:
x + 3x + 40 = 360
4x + 40 = 360
4x = 360 – 40 = 320
x = 320/4 = 80
∴ central angle of arc
ABC = 80
central angle of arc ADC = 360 – 80 = 280°

In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle. If ∠OAP = 35° and ∠OBP = 40°, find the value of ∠x.
Answer:
Join OP
Since OA = OP and
∠APO = ∠OAP=35°
Similarly, OB = OP and ∠OPB = ∠OBP = 40°
∠APB = 35°+ 40° = 75°
∠AOB = 2 × 750 = 150°
