Edited By safeer | Updated on Jul 29, 2022 06:39 PM IST

The NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths exercise 10.6 is a discretionary (not according to the assessment perspective for Class 9) exercise that contains points like equal chords of a circle, cyclic quadrilaterals, angle extended by an arc of a circle and finding lengths of the radius when the distance of chord and chord length is given.

A few important concepts related to NCERT syllabus Class 9 Maths chapter 10 exercise 10.6 in order to solve this exercise are:

  • The sum of any two opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°

  • Angles which are present in the same arc of the circle are equal.

  • The point subtended by an arc (circular segment) at the circle's centre is twofold the angle subtended by it at the remaining circumference of the circle.

  • The chords of equivalent length are consistently equidistant from the centre of the circle

Significant questions in this exercise utilize a mix of at least two of the above ideas.

Along with NCERT book Class 9 Maths chapter 10 exericse 10.6 the following exercises are also present.

Circles Class 9 Chapter 10 Exercise: 10.6

Q1 Prove that the line of centres of two intersecting circles subtends equal angles at the two points of intersection.

Answer:

Given: Circle C(P,r) and circle C(Q,r') intersect each other at A and B.

To prove : \angle PAQ = \angle PBQ

Proof : In \triangle APQ and \triangle BPQ,

PA = PB (radii of same circle)

PQ = PQ (Common)

QA = QB (radii of same circle)

So, \triangle APQ \cong \triangle BPQ (By SSS)

\angle PAQ = \angle PBQ (CPCT)


Q2 Two chords AB and CD of lengths \small 5\hspace {1mm}cm and \small 11\hspace {1mm}cm respectively of a circle are parallel to each other and are on opposite sides of its centre. If the distance between AB and CD is \small 6\hspace {1mm}cm , find the radius of the circle.

Answer:

Given : AB = 5 cm, CD = 11 cm and AB || CD.

To find Radius (OA).

Construction: Draw OM \perp CD \, \, and \, \, \, ON\perp AB

Proof :

1640237834315

Proof: CD is a chord of circle and OM \perp CD

Thus, CM = MD = 5.5 cm (perpendicular from centre bisects chord)

and AN = NB = 2.5 cm

Let OM be x.

So, ON = 6 - x (MN = 6 cm )

In \triangle OCM , using Pythagoras,

OC ^2=CM^2+OM^2 .............................1

and

In \triangle OAN , using Pythagoras,

OA ^2=AN^2+ON^2 .............................2

From 1 and 2,

CM ^2+OM^2=AN^2+ON^2 (OC=OA =radii)

5.5 ^2+x^2=2.5^2+(6-x)^2

\Rightarrow 30.25+x^2=6.25+36+x^2-12x

\Rightarrow 30.25-42.25=-12x

\Rightarrow -12=-12x

\Rightarrow x=1

From 2, we get

OC^2=5.5^2+1^2=30.25+1=31.25

\Rightarrow OC=\frac{5}{2}\sqrt{5} cm

OA = OC

Thus, the radius of the circle is \frac{5}{2}\sqrt{5} cm

Q3 The lengths of two parallel chords of a circle are \small 6\hspace {1mm}cm and \small 8\hspace {1mm}cm . If the smaller chord is at distance \small 4\hspace {1mm}cm from the centre, what is the distance of the other chord from the centre?

Answer:

Given : AB = 8 cm, CD = 6 cm , OM = 4 cm and AB || CD.

To find: Length of ON

Construction: Draw OM \perp CD \, \, and \, \, \, ON\perp AB

Proof :

1640237861219

Proof: CD is a chord of circle and OM \perp CD

Thus, CM = MD = 3 cm (perpendicular from centre bisects chord)

and AN = NB = 4 cm

Let MN be x.

So, ON = 4 - x (MN = 4 cm )

In \triangle OCM , using Pythagoras,

OC ^2=CM^2+OM^2 .............................1

and

In \triangle OAN , using Pythagoras,

OA ^2=AN^2+ON^2 .............................2

From 1 and 2,

CM ^2+OM^2=AN^2+ON^2 (OC=OA =radii)

\Rightarrow 3 ^2+4^2=4^2+(4-x)^2

\Rightarrow 9+16=16+16+x^2-8x

\Rightarrow 9=16+x^2-8x

\Rightarrow x^2-8x+7=0

\Rightarrow x^2-7x-x+7=0

\Rightarrow x(x-7)-1(x-7)=0

\Rightarrow (x-1)(x-7)=0

\Rightarrow x=1,7

So, x=1 (since x\neq 7> OM )

ON =4-x =4-1=3 cm

Hence, second chord is 3 cm away from centre.

Q4 Let the vertex of an angle ABC be located outside a circle and let the sides of the angle intersect equal chords AD and CE with the circle. Prove that \small \angle ABC is equal to half the difference of the angles subtended by the chords AC and DE at the centre.

Answer:

Given : AD = CE

To prove : \angle ABC = \frac{1}{2}(\angle AOC-\angle DOE)

Construction: Join AC and DE.

Proof :

1640237883312

Let \angle ADC = x , \angle DOE = y and \angle AOD = z

So, \angle EOC = z (each chord subtends equal angle at centre)

\angle AOC + \angle DOE + \angle AOD + \angle EOC = 360 \degree

\Rightarrow x+y+z+z=360 \degree

\Rightarrow x+y+2z=360 \degree .........................................1

In \triangle OAD ,

OA = OD (Radii of the circle)

\angle OAD = \angle ODA (angles opposite to equal sides )

\angle OAD + \angle ODA + \angle AOD = 180 \degree

\Rightarrow 2\angle OAD+z=180 \degree

\Rightarrow 2\angle OAD=180 \degree-z

\Rightarrow \angle OAD=\frac{180 \degree-z}{2}

\Rightarrow \angle OAD=90 \degree-\frac{z}{2} .............................................................2

Similarly,

\Rightarrow \angle OCE=90 \degree-\frac{x}{2} .............................................................3

\Rightarrow \angle OED=90 \degree-\frac{y}{2} ..............................................................4

\angle ODB is exterior of triangle OAD . So,

\angle ODB = \angle OAD + \angle ODA

\Rightarrow \angle ODB=90 \degree-\frac{z}{2}+z (from 2)

\Rightarrow \angle ODB=90 \degree+\frac{z}{2} .................................................................5

similarly,

\angle OBE is exterior of triangle OCE . So,

\angle OBE = \angle OCE + \angle OEC

\Rightarrow \angle OEB=90 \degree-\frac{z}{2}+z (from 3)

\Rightarrow \angle OEB=90 \degree+\frac{z}{2} .................................................................6

From 4,5,6 ;we get

\angle BDE = \angle BED = \angle OEB - \angle OED

\Rightarrow \angle BDE=\angle BED=90 \degree+\frac{z}{2}-(90-\frac{y}{2})=\frac{y+z}{2}

\Rightarrow \angle BDE+\angle BED=y+z ..................................................7

In \triangle BDE ,

\angle DBE + \angle BDE + \angle BED = 180 \degree

\Rightarrow \angle DBE +y+z=180 \degree

\Rightarrow \angle DBE =180 \degree-(y+z)

\Rightarrow \angle ABC =180 \degree-(y+z) ...................................................8

Here, from equation 1,

\frac{x-y}{2}=\frac{360 \degree-y-2x-y}{2}

\Rightarrow \frac{x-y}{2}=\frac{360 \degree-2y-2x}{2}

\Rightarrow \frac{x-y}{2}=180 \degree-y-x ...................................9

From 8 and 9,we have

\angle ABC=\frac{x-y}{2}=\frac{1}{2}(\angle AOC-\angle DOE)

Q5 Prove that the circle drawn with any side of a rhombus as diameter, passes through the point of intersection of its diagonals.

Answer:

Given : ABCD is a rhombus.

To prove: the circle drawn with AB as diameter passes through the point O.

Proof :

1640237931704

ABCD is rhombus.

Thus, \angle AOC = 90 \degree (diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at 90 \degree )

So, a circle drawn AB as diameter will pass through point O.

Thus, the circle is drawn with any side of a rhombus as diameter passes through the point of intersection of its diagonals.

Q6 ABCD is a parallelogram. The circle through A, B and C intersect CD (produced if necessary) at E. Prove that \small AE=AD .

Answer:

Given: ABCD is a parallelogram. The circle through A, B and C intersect CD (produced if necessary) at E.

To prove : AE = AD

Proof :

1640237957576

\angle ADC = \angle 3 , \angle ABC = \angle 4, \angle ADE = \angle 1 and \angle AED = \angle 2

\angle 3+\angle 1=180 \degree .................1(linear pair)

\angle 2+\angle 4=180 \degree ....................2(sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral)

\angle 3 = \angle 4 (oppsoite angles of parallelogram )

From 1 and 2,

\angle 3+ \angle 1 = \angle 2 + \angle 4

From 3, \angle 1 = \angle 2

From 4, \triangle AQB, \angle 1 = \angle 2

Therefore, AE = AD (In an isosceles triangle ,angles oppsoite to equal sides are equal)

Q7 (i) AC and BD are chords of a circle which bisect each other. Prove that AC and BD are diameters

Answer:

Given: AC and BD are chords of a circle which bisect each other.

To prove: AC and BD are diameters.

Construction : Join AB,BC,CD,DA.

Proof :

1640237982446

In \triangle ABD and \triangle CDO,

AO = OC (Given )

\angle AOB = \angle COD (Vertically opposite angles )

BO = DO (Given )

So, \triangle ABD \cong \triangle CDO (By SAS)

\angle BAO = \angle DCO (CPCT)

\angle BAO and \angle DCO are alternate angle and are equal .

So, AB || DC ..............1

Also AD || BC ...............2

From 1 and 2,

\angle A+\angle C=180 \degree ......................3(sum of opposite angles)

\angle A = \angle C ................................4(Opposite angles of the parallelogram )

From 3 and 4,

\angle A+\angle A=180 \degree

\Rightarrow 2\angle A=180 \degree

\Rightarrow \angle A=90 \degree

BD is a diameter of the circle.

Similarly, AC is a diameter.

Q7 (ii) AC and BD are chords of a circle which bisect each other. Prove that ABCD is a rectangle.

Answer:

Given: AC and BD are chords of a circle which bisect each other.

To prove: ABCD is a rectangle.

Construction : Join AB,BC,CD,DA.

Proof :

1656935732366

ABCD is a parallelogram. (proved in (i))

\angle A=90 \degree (proved in (i))

A parallelogram with one angle 90 \degree , is a rectangle )

Thus, ABCD is rectangle.

Q8 Bisectors of angles A, B and C of a triangle ABC intersect its circumcircle at D, E and F respectively. Prove that the angles of the triangle DEF are \small 90^{\circ}-\frac{1}{2}C , \small 90^{\circ}-\frac{1}{2}B and \small 90^{\circ}-\frac{1}{2}A

Answer:

Given : Bisectors of angles A, B and C of a triangle ABC intersect its circumcircle at D, E and F respectively.

To prove : the angles of the triangle DEF are \small 90^{\circ}-\frac{1}{2}C , \small 90^{\circ}-\frac{1}{2}B and \small 90^{\circ}-\frac{1}{2}A

Proof :

1640238007328

\angle 1 and \angle 3 are angles in same segment.therefore,

\angle 1 = \angle 3 ................1(angles in same segment are equal )

and \angle 2 = \angle 4 ..................2

Adding 1 and 2,we have

\angle 1+ \angle 2= \angle 3+ \angle 4

\Rightarrow \angle D=\frac{1}{2}\angle B+\frac{1}{2}\angle C ,

\Rightarrow \angle D=\frac{1}{2}(\angle B+\angle C)

\Rightarrow \angle D=\frac{1}{2}(180 \degree+\angle C)

and \Rightarrow \angle D=\frac{1}{2}(180 \degree-\angle A)

\Rightarrow \angle D=90 \degree-\frac{1}{2}\angle A

Similarly, \Rightarrow \angle E=90 \degree-\frac{1}{2}\angle B and \angle F=90 \degree-\frac{1}{2}\angle C

Q9 Two congruent circles intersect each other at points A and B. Through A any line segment PAQ is drawn so that P, Q lie on the two circles. Prove that \small BP=BQ .

Answer:

Given: Two congruent circles intersect each other at points A and B. Through A any line segment PAQ is drawn so that P, Q lie on the two circles.

To prove : BP = BQ

Proof :

1640238028954

AB is a common chord in both congruent circles.

\therefore \angle APB = \angle AQB

In \triangle BPQ,

\angle APB = \angle AQB

\therefore BQ = BP (Sides opposite to equal of the triangle are equal )

Q10 In any triangle ABC, if the angle bisector of \small \angle A and perpendicular bisector of BC intersect, prove that they intersect on the circumcircle of the triangle ABC.

Answer:

Given :In any triangle ABC, if the angle bisector of \small \angle A and perpendicular bisector of BC intersect.

To prove : D lies on perpendicular bisector BC.

Construction: Join BD and DC.

Proof :

1640238078439

Let \angle ABD = \angle 1 , \angle ADC = \angle 2 , \angle DCB = \angle 3 , \angle CBD = \angle 4

\angle 1 and \angle 3 lies in same segment.So,

\angle 1 = \angle 3 ..........................1(angles in same segment)

similarly, \angle 2 = \angle 4 ......................2

also, \angle 1= \angle 2 ..............3(given)

From 1,2,3 , we get

\angle 3 = \angle 4

Hence, BD = DC (angles opposite to equal sides are equal )

All points lying on perpendicular bisector BC will be equidistant from B and C.

Thus, point D also lies on perpendicular bisector BC.
