NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths chapter 10 exercise 10.2 is about angle subtended by a chord at a point. A circle is a two-dimensional geometrical form in which all points on the surface of the circle are equidistant from the radius, which is the centre point. A circle's chord is the line segment that connects two locations on its circumference. You will see that the angles subtended by two or more equal chords of a circle at the centre are equal if you draw two or more equal chords of a circle and determine the angles they occupied in the centre. In the NCERT solutions for Class 9 Maths chapter 10 exercise 10.2, we will cover the theorems pertaining to the angle subtended by a chord at a point in depth. The following exercise are also included in NCERT book Class 9 Mathematics chapter 10 exercise 10.1.

Circles Class 9 Chapter 10 Circles Exercise: 10.2

Q1 Recall that two circles are congruent if they have the same radii. Prove that equal chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres.

Answer:

Given: The two circles are congruent if they have the same radii.

To prove: The equal chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres i.e. $\angle$ BAC= $\angle$ QPR

Proof :

1640237118228

In $\triangle$ ABC and $\triangle$ PQR,

BC = QR (Given)

AB = PQ (Radii of congruent circle)

AC = PR (Radii of congruent circle)

Thus, $\triangle$ ABC $\cong$ $\triangle$ PQR (By SSS rule)

$\angle$ BAC= $\angle$ QPR (CPCT)

Q2 Prove that if chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres, then the chords are equal.

Answer:

1640257760644

Given : chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres,

To prove : BC = QR

Proof :

In $\triangle$ ABC and $\triangle$ PQR,

$\angle$ BAC= $\angle$ QPR (Given)

AB = PQ (Radii of congruent circle)

AC = PR (Radii of congruent circle)

Thus, $\triangle$ ABC $\cong$ $\triangle$ PQR (By SAS rule)

BC = QR (CPCT)

Benefits of NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Exercise 10.2

The circle is an important part of geometry and there are a lot of applications of circles in whole geometry
Chapter 10 exercise 10.2 in Class 9 Maths presents a wide range of problems that can be based on angle subtended by a chord at a point.
NCERT Class 9 Maths chapter 10 exercise 10.2, will be helpful for the Class 10 chapter 10 circle, as Class 10 chapter 10 circle is an extension of Class 9 Maths chapter 10
NCERT Class 9 Maths chapter 10 exercise 10.2, will be base for the Class 11 chapter 11 conic section
NCERT Class 9 Maths chapter 10 exercise 10.2, will be helpful in JEE Main (joint entrance exam) as the conic section is a major part of the syllabus and the circle is a part of the conic section section
