Q) In the given figure, a circle centered at origin O has radius 7 cm, OC is median of Δ OAB. Find the length of median OC. Ans: Step 1: In the given circle, OA and OB are the radii of the same circle and they intersect at 90 degrees (coordinates) Δ AOB, by Pythagoras
Q) In the given figure, AB and CD are tangents to a circle centred at O. Is angle BAC = angle DCA ? Justify your answer. Ans: Step 1: Let’s connect center O with points A and C Step 2: Since BA is the tangent to the circle and OA is the radius of the
Q) In the given figure, PQ is tangent to a circle centred at O and ∠BAQ = 30°; show that BP = BQ. Ans: Here, We need to prove that BP = BQ, it means we need to get ∠ BQP = ∠ BPQ Step 1: Let’s start with given diagram. Since AB is a straight
Q) In the given figure, AB, BC, CD and DA are tangents to the circle with centre O forming a quadrilateral ABCD. Show that angle AOB+ angle COD = 1800 Ans: Let’s draw a diagram and connect O with all vertices of Quadrilateral ABCD and al touch points on its circumference: Let’s start with Δ
Q) The perimeter of a certain sector of a circle of radius 5.6 m is 20.0 m. Find the area of the sector. Ans: We know that the perimeter of a circle’s sector making θ angle, is given by: P = 2 R + 2 π R ∴ π R = ……..(i) And the area
Q) A circle is touching the side BC of a Δ ABC at the point P and touching AB and AC produced at points Q and R respectively. Prove that AQ = 1 (Perimeter of Δ ABC) Ans: Perimeter of the triangle Δ ABC, P = AB + AC + BC ∴ P = AB
