Question 1.
In a circle with centre P, chord AB is drawn of length 13 cm, seg PQ ⊥ chord AB, then find l(QB)

Solution:
seg PQ ⊥ chord AB … [Given]
∴l(QB) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) l(AB)… [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to its chord bisects the chord]
∴l(QB) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 13 …[∵ l(AB) = 13 cm]
∴l(QB) = 6.5 cm

Question 2.
Radius of a circle with centre O is 25 cm. Find the distance of a chord from the centre if length of the chord is 48 cm.

Solution:
seg OP ⊥ chord CD … [Given]
∴l(PD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) l(CD) … [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to its chord bisects the chord]
∴l(PD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 48 …[∵ l(CD) = 48 cm]
∴l(PD) = 24 cm …(i)
In ∆OPD, m∠OPD = 90°
∴[l(OD)]² = [l(OP)]² + [l(PD)]² … [Pythagoras theorem]
∴(25)² = [l(OP)]² + (24)² … [From (i) and l(OD) = 25 cm]
∴(25)² – (24)² = [l(OP)]²
∴(25 + 24) (25 – 24) = [l(OP)]² …[∵ a² – b² = (a + b) (a – b)]
∴49 x 1 = [l(OP)]²
∴[l(OP)]² = 49
∴l(OP) = √49 …[Taking square root of both sides]
∴l(OP) = 7 cm
∴The distance of the chord from the centre of the circle is 7 cm.

Question 3.
O is centre of the circle. Find the length of radius, if the chord of length 24 cm is at a distance of 9 cm from the centre of the

Solution:
Let seg OP ⊥ chord AB
∴ l(AP) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) l(AB) … [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to its chord bisects the chord]

∴l(AP) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 24 …[∵ l(AB) = 24 cm]
∴l(AP) = 12 cm …(i)
In ∆OPA, m∠OPA = 90°
∴[l(AO)]² = [l(OP)]² + [l(AP)]² … [Pythagoras theorem]
∴[l(AO)]² = (9)² + (12)² … [From (i) and l(OP) = 9 cm]
= 81 + 144
∴[l(AO)]² = 225
∴l(AO) = √225 …[Taking square root of both sides]
∴l(AO) = 15 cm
∴The length of radius of the circle is 15 cm.

Question 4.
C is the centre of the circle whose radius is 10 cm. Find the distance of the chord from the centre if the length of the chord is 12 cm.
Solution:
Let seg AB be the chord of the circle with centre C.
Draw seg CD ⊥ chord AB.

∴l(AD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) l(AB) …[Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to its chord bisects the chord]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 12 …[∵ l(AB) = 12 cm]
∴l(AD) = 6 cm …(i)
∴In ∆ACD, m∠ADC = 90°
∴[l(AC)]² = [l(AD)]² + [l(CD)]² … [Pythagoras theorem]
∴(10)² = (6)² + [l(CD)]² … [From (i) and l(AC) = 10 cm]
∴(10)² – (6)² = [l(CD)]²
∴100 – 36 = [l(CD)]²
∴64 = [l(CD)]²
i. e. [l(CD)]² = 64
∴l(CD) = √64 …[Taking square root of both sides]
∴l(CD) = 8 cm
∴The distance of the chord from the centre of the circle is 8 cm.

Solution:
i. TS = 5, SU = 12 …[Given]
In ∆TSU, ∠S = 90° … [Given]
∴ TU² = TS² + SU² …[Pythagoras theorem]

Question 1.
Measuring height of a tree using trigonometric ratios. (Textbook pg. no. 101)

This experiment can be conducted on a clear sunny day. Look at the figure given above. Height of the tree is QR, height of the stick is BC.
Thrust a stick in the ground as shown in the figure. Measure its height and length of its shadow. Also measure the length of the shadow of the tree. Using these values, how will you determine the height of the tree?
Solution:
Rays of sunlight are parallel.
So, ∆PQR and ∆ABC are equiangular i.e., similar triangles.
Sides of similar triangles are proportional.
∴ \(\frac { QR }{BC }\) = \(\frac { PR }{ AC }\)
∴ Height of the tree (QR) = \(\frac { BC }{ AC }\) x PR
Substituting the values of PR, BC and AC in the above equation, we can get length of QR i.e., the height of the tree.

Question 2.
It is convenient to do the above experiment between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm instead of doing it in the morning at 8’O clock. Can you tell why? (Textbook pg. no. 101)
Solution:
At 8’O clock in the morning, the sunlight is not very bright. At the same time, the sun is on the horizon and the shadow would by very long. It would be extremely difficult to measure shadow in that case.
Between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm, the sun is overhead and it would be easier to measure the length of shadow.

Question 3.
Conduct the above discussed activity and find the height of a tall tree in your surrounding. If there is no tree in the premises, then find the height of a pole. (Textbook pg. no. 101)

Let the common multiple be k.
∴ PQ = 5k and PR = 13k
Find QR by using Pythagoras theorem.
PR² = PQ² + QR² … [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ (13k)² = (5k)² + QR²

In that case, we will have to take k = 1 and solve the problem accordingly.

Question 5.
Verify that the equation ‘sin² θ + cos² θ = 1’ is true when θ = 0° or θ = 90°.
(Textbook pg. no. 112)
Solution:
sin² θ + cos² θ = 1

LH.S. = sin² θ + cos² θ
= sin² 0° + cos² 0°
= 0 + 1 …[∵ sin 0° = 0, cos 0° = 1]
= R.H.S.
∴ sin² θ + cos² θ = 1

ii. If θ = 90°,
L.H.S.= sin² θ +cos² θ
= sin² 90° + cos² 90°
= 1 + 0 … [ ∵ sin 90° = 1, cos 90° = 0]
= 1
= R.H.S.
∴ sin² θ + cos² θ = 1

Question 4.
In the adjoining figure, C is the centre of the circle, seg QT is a diameter, CT = 13, CP = 5. Find the length of chord RS.

Given: In a circle with centre C, QT is a diameter, CT = 13 units, CP = 5 units
To find: Length of chord RS
Construction: Join points R and C.
Solution:

i. CR = CT= 13 units …..(i) [Radii of the same circle]
In ∆CPR, ∠CPR = 90°
∴ CR² = CP² + RP² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 13² = 5² + RP² [From (i)]
∴ 169 = 25 + RP² [From (i)]
∴ RP² = 169 – 25 = 144
∴ RP = \(\sqrt { 144 }\) [Taking square root on both sides]
∴ RP = 12 cm ….(ii)

ii. Now, seg CP _L chord RS [Given]
∴ RP = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) RS [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
∴ 12 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) RS [From (ii)]
∴ RS = 2 x 12 = 24
∴ The length of chord RS is 24 units.

Given: P is the centre of the circle.
Chord AB and chord CD intersect on the diameter at the point E. ∠AEP ≅ ∠DEP
To prove: AB = CD
Construction: Draw seg PM ⊥ chord AB, A-M-B
seg PN ⊥ chord CD, C-N-D
Proof:

∠AEP ≅ ∠DEP [Given]
∴ Seg ES is the bisector of ∠AED.
PoInt P is on the bisector of ∠AED.
∴ PM = PN [Every point on the bisector of an angle is equidistant from the sides of the angle.]
∴ chord AB ≅ chord CD [Chords which are equidistant from the centre are congruent.]
∴ AB = CD [Length of congruent segments]

Question 6.
In the adjoining figure, CD is a diameter of the circle with centre O. Diameter CD is perpendicular to chord AB at point E. Show that ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Given: O is the centre of the circle.
diameter CD ⊥ chord AB, A-E-B
To prove: ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Proof:
diameter CD ⊥ chord AB [Given]
∴ seg OE ⊥ chord AB [C-O-E, O-E-D]
∴ seg AE ≅ seg BE ……(i) [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord]
In ∆CEA and ∆CEB,
∠CEA ≅ ∠CEB [Each is of 90°]
seg AE ≅ seg BE [From (i)]
seg CE ≅ seg CE [Common side]
∴ ∆CEA ≅ ∆CEB [SAS test]
∴ seg AC ≅ seg BC [c. s. c. t.]
∴ ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Solution:

Let □ABCD be the rectangle.
AB = 7 cm, BC = 24 cm
In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90° [Angle of a rectangle]
AC² = AB² + BC² [Pythagoras theorem]
= 7² + 24²

∴ 169 = 2x²

The length of the side of the square is 6.5√2 cm.

Question 4.
Ratio of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 3 : 4, and its perimeter is 112 cm. Find the length of its each side.
Solution:

Let □STUV be the parallelogram.
Ratio of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 3 : 4.
Let the common multiple be x.
ST = 3x cm and TU = 4x cm
∴ ST = UV = 3x cm
TU = SV = 4x cm …..(i) [Opposite sides of a parallelogram]
Perimeter of □STUV = 112 [Given]
∴ ST + TU + UV + SV = 112
∴ 3x + 4x + 3x + 4x = 112 [From (i)]
∴ 14x = 112
∴ x = \(\frac { 112 }{ 14 }\)
∴ x = 8
∴ ST = UV = 3x = 3 x 8 = 24 cm
∴ TU = SV = 4x = 4 x 8 = 32 cm [From (i)]
∴ The lengths of the sides of the parallelogram are 24 cm, 32 cm, 24 cm and 32 cm.

Question 5.
Diagonals PR and QS of a rhombus PQRS are 20 cm and 48 cm respectively. Find the length of side PQ.
Solution:

□PQRS is a rhombus. [Given]
PR = 20 cm and QS = 48 cm [Given]
∴ PT = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) PR [Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 20 = 10 cm
Also, QT = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) QS [Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 48 = 24 cm

ii. In ∆PQT, ∠PTQ = 90° [Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other]
∴ PQ² = PT² + QT² [Pythagoras- theorem]
= 10² + 24²
= 100 + 576
∴ PQ² = 676
∴ PQ = \(\sqrt {676 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 26 cm
∴ The length of side PQ is 26 cm.

Question 6.
Diagonals of a rectangle PQRS are intersecting in point M. If ∠QMR = 50°, then find the measure of ∠MPS.
Solution:

□PQRS is a rectangle.
∴ PM = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) PR …(i)
MS = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) QS …(ii) [Diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other]
Also, PR = QS …..(iii) [Diagonals of a rectangle are congruent]
∴ PM = MS ….(iv) [From (i), (ii) and (iii)]
In ∆PMS,
PM = MS [From (iv)]
∴ ∠MSP = ∠MPS = x° …..(v) [Isosceles triangle theorem]
∠PMS = ∠QMR = 50° ……(vi) [Vertically opposite angles]
In ∆MPS,
∠PMS + ∠MPS + ∠MSP = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
∴ 50° +x + x = 180° [From (v) and (vi)]
∴ 50° + 2x= 180
∴ 2x= 180-50
∴ 2x= 130
∴ x = \(\frac { 130 }{ 2 }\) = 65°
∴ ∠MPS = 65° [From (v)]

Practice Set 6.2 Geometry 9th Std Maths Part 2 Answers Chapter 6 Circle

Question 1.
Radius of circle is 10 cm. There are two chords of length 16 cm each. What will be the distance of these chords from the centre of the circle ?
Given: In a circle with centre O,
OR and OP are radii and RS and PQ are its congruent chords.
PQ = RS= 16 cm,
OR = OP = 10 cm
seg OU ⊥ chord PQ, P-U-Q
seg OT ⊥ chord RS, R-T-S
To find: Distance of chords from centre of the circle.
Solution:

i. PU = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(PQ) [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
∴ PU= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 16 = 8 cm …(i)

ii. In ∆OUP, ∠OUP = 90°
∴ OP² = OU² + PU² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 10² = OU² + 8² [From (i)]
∴ 100 = OU² + 64
∴ OU² = 100 – 64 = 36
∴ OU = √36 [Taking square root on both sides]
∴ OU = 6 cm

iii. Now, OT = OU [Congruent chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre.]
∴ OT = OU = 6cm
∴ The distance of the chords from the centre of the circle is 6 cm.

Question 2.
In a circle with radius 13 cm, two equal chords are at a distance of 5 cm from the centre. Find the lengths of chords.
Given: In a circle with cente O,
OA and OC are the radii and AB and CD are its congruent chords,
OA = OC = 13cm
0E = OF = 5 cm
seg 0E ⊥ chord CD, C-E-D
seg OF ⊥ chord AB. A-F-B
To find: length of the chords
Solution:

i. In ∆AFO, ∠AFO = 90°
∴ AO² = AF² + FO² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 13² = AF² + 5²
∴ 169 = AF² + 25
∴ AF² = 169-25
∴ AF² = 144
∴ AF = \(\sqrt { 144 }\) [Taking square root on both sides]
∴ AF = 12 cm …..(i)

ii. Now AF = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)AB [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
∴ 12 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (AB) [From (i)]
∴ AB = 12 x 2 = 24 cm
∴ CD = AB = 24 cm [chord AB ≅ chord CD]
∴ The lengths of the two chords are 24 cm each.

Question 3.
Seg PM and seg PN are congruent chords of a circle with centre C. Show that the ray PC is the bisector of ∠NPM.
Given: Point C is the centre of the circle.
chord PM ≅ chord PN
To prove: Ray PC is the bisector of ∠NPM.
Construction: Draw seg CR ⊥ chord PN, P-R-N
seg CQ ⊥ chord PM, P-Q-M
Proof:

chord PM chord PN [Given]
seg CR ⊥ chord PN
seg CQ ⊥ chord PM [Construction]
∴ segCR ≅ segCQ ….(i) [Congruent chords are equidistant from the centre]
In ∆PRC and ∆PQC,
∠PRC ≅ ∠PQC [Each is of 90°]
segCR ≅ segCQ [From (i)]
seg PC ≅ seg PC [Common side]
∴ ∆PRC ≅ ∆PQC [Hypotenuse side test]
∴ ∠RPC ≅ ∠QPC [c. a. c. t.]
∴ ∠NPC ≅ ∠MPC [N- R-P, M-Q-P]
∴ Ray PC is the bisector of ∠NPM.

∴ seg AM ≅ seg CN [c. s. c. t.]
∴ AM = CN ….(i) [Length of congruent segments]
Now, seg PM ⊥ chord AB, and seg QN ⊥ chord CD
∴ AM = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(AB) …(ii)
∴ CN = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (CD) ..(iii) [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
∴ AB = CD [From (i), (ii) and (ii)]
∴ chord AB ≅ chord CD [Segments of equal lengths]
