NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Exercise 10.2

Question 1. 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
Solution:
Given: Two congruent circles with centres O and O’ and radii r, which have chords AB and CD respectively such that AB = CD.
To Prove: ∠AOB = ∠CO’D
Proof: In ∆AOB and ∆CO’D, we have
AB = CD [Given]
OA = O’C [Each equal to r]
OB = O’D [Each equal to r]
∴ ∆AOB ≅ ∆CO’D [By SSS congruence criteria]
⇒ ∠AOB = ∠CO’D [C.P.C.T.]

Question 2. Prove that, if chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres, then the chords are equal.
Solution:
Given: Two congruent circles with centres O & O’ and radii r which have chords AB and CD respectively such that ∠AOB = ∠CO’D.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/A2
To Prove: AB = CD
Proof: In ∆AOB and ∆CO’D, we have
OA = O’C [Each equal to r]
OB = O’D [Each equal to r]
∠AOB = ∠CO’D [Given]
∴ ∆AOB ≅ ∆CO’D [By SAS congruence criteria]
Hence, AB = CD [C.P.C.T.]

Let us draw different pairs of circles as shown below:
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/A1
We have

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles

Thus, two circles can have at the most two points in common.

Question 2. Suppose you are given a circle. Give a construction to find its centre.
Solution:
Steps of construction :
Step I : Take any three points on the given circle. Let these points be A, B and C.
Step II : Join AB and BC.
Step III : Draw the perpendicular bisector, PQ of AB.
Step IV: Draw the perpendicular bisector, RS of BC such that it intersects PQ at O.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image004.jpg
Thus, ‘O’ is the required centre of the given drcle.

Question 3. If two circles intersect at two points, prove that their centres lie on the perpendicular bisector of the common chord.
Solution:
We have two circles with centres O and O’, intersecting at A and B.
∴ AB is the common chord of two circles and OO’ is the line segment joining their centres.
Let OO’ and AB intersect each other at M.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/A3
∴ To prove that OO’ is the perpendicular bisector of AB,
we join OA, OB, O’A and O’B. Now, in ∆QAO’ and ∆OBO’,
we have
OA = OB [Radii of the same circle]
O’A = O’B [Radii of the same circle]
OO’ = OO’ [Common]
∴ ∆OAO’ ≅ ∆OBO’ [By SSS congruence criteria]
⇒ ∠1 = ∠2 , [C.P.C.T.]
Now, in ∆AOM and ∆BOM, we have
OA = OB [Radii of the same circle]
OM = OM [Common]
∠1 = ∠2 [Proved above]
∴ ∆AOM = ∆BOM [By SAS congruence criteria]
⇒ ∠3 = ∠4 [C.P.C.T.]
But ∠3 + ∠4 = 180° [Linear pair]
∴∠3=∠4 = 90°
⇒ AM ⊥ OO’
Also, AM = BM [C.P.C.T.]
⇒ M is the mid-point of AB.
Thus, OO’ is the perpendicular bisector of AB.

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Exercise 10.4

Question 1. Two circles of radii 5 cm and 3 cm intersect at two points and the distance between their centers is 4 cm. Find the length of the common chord.

Solution:
Let two circles with centres O and O’ intersect each other at points A and B. On joining A and B, AB is a common chord.

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image001.jpg

Radius OA = 5 cm, Radius O’A = 3 cm,

Distance between their centers OO’ = 4 cm

In triangle AOO’,

52 = 42 + 32

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image002.png25 = 16 + 9

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image002.png 25 = 25

Hence AOO’ is a right triangle, right angled at O’.

Since, perpendicular drawn from the center of the circle bisects the chord.

Hence O’ is the mid-point of the chord AB. Also O’ is the centre of the circle II.

Therefore length of chord AB = Diameter of circle II

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image003.png Length of chord AB = 2 x 3 = 6 cm.

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Exercise 10.6

Question 1. Prove that the line of centres of two intersecting circles subtends equal angles at the two points of intersection.
Solution:
Given : Two circles with centres O and O’ respectively such that they intersect each other at P and Q.
To Prove: ∠OPO’ = ∠OQO’.
Construction : Join OP, O’P, OQ, O’Q and OO’.
Proof: In ∆OPO’ and ∆OQO’, we have
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/ A1
OP = OQ [Radii of the same circle]
O’P = O’Q [Radii of the same circle]
OO’ = OO’ [Common]
∴ AOPO’ = AOQO’ [By SSS congruence criteria]
⇒ ∠OPO’ = ∠OQO’ [C.P.C.T.]

Question 2. Two chords AB and CD of lengths 5 cm and 11 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 6 cm, find the radius of the circle.
Solution:
We have a circle with centre O.
AB || CD and the perpendicular distance between AB and CD is 6 cm and AB = 5 cm, CD = 11 cm.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/ A2
Let r cm be the radius of the circle.
Let us draw OP ⊥ AB and OQ ⊥ CD such that
PQ = 6 cm
Join OA and OC.
Let OQ = x cm
∴ OP = (6 – x) cm
∵ The perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to chord bisects the chord.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/ A2a

Question 3. The lengths of two parallel chords of a circle are 6 cm and 8 cm. If the smaller chord is at distance 4 cm from the centre, what is the distance of the other chord from the centre ?
Solution:
We have a circle with centre O. Parallel chords AB and CD are such that the smaller chord is 4 cm away from the centre.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/ A3
Let r cm be the radius of the circle and draw OP ⊥ AB and join OA and OC.
∵ OP ⊥ AB
∴ P is the mid-point of AB.
⇒ AP = NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 CirclesAB\frac { 1 }{ 2 }(6 cm)= 3 cm
Similarly, CQ = NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 CirclesNCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles(8 cm)= 4 cm
Now in ∆OPA, we have OA2 = OP2 + AP2
⇒ r2 = 42 + 32
⇒ r2 = 16 + 9 = 25
⇒ r = NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles=5
Again, in ∆CQO, we have OC2 = OQ2 + CQ2
⇒ r2 = OQ2 + 42
⇒ OQ2 = r2 – 42
⇒ OQ2 = 52 – 42 = 25 – 16 = 9 [∵ r = 5]
⇒ OQ
⇒ √9 = 3
The distance of the other chord (CD) from the centre is 3 cm.
Note: In case if we take the two parallel chords on either side of the centre, then
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/ A3A
In ∆POA, OA= OP2 + PA2
⇒ r2 = 42 + 32 = 52
⇒ r = 5
In ∆QOC, OC2 = CQ2 + OQ2
⇒ OQ2 = 42 + OQ2
⇒ OQ= 52 – 42 = 9
⇒ OQ = 3

Question 4. 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 ∠ABC is equal to half the difference of the angles subtended by the chords AC and DE at the centre.
Solution:
Given : ∠ABC is such that when we produce arms BA and BC, they make two equal chords AD and CE.
To prove: ∠ABC = NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles[∠DOE – ∠AOC]
Construction : Join AE.
Proof: An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of interior opposite angles.
∴ In ∆BAE, we have
∠DAE = ∠ABC + ∠AEC ……(i)
The chord DE subtends ∠DOE at the centre and ∠DAE in the remaining part of the circle.
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/ A4
⇒ ∠ABC = NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles[(Angle subtended by the chord DE at the centre) – (Angle subtended by the chord AC at the centre)]
⇒ ∠ABC = NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles[Difference of the angles subtended by the chords DE and AC at the centre]

Question 5. Prove that the circle drawn with any side of a rhombus as diameter, passes through the point of intersection of its diagonals.
Solution:
We have a rhombus ABCD such that its diagonals AC and BD intersect at O.
Taking AB as diameter, a circle is drawn. Let us draw PQ || DA and RS || AB, both are passing through O.
P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of DC, AB, AD and BC respectively,
∵ Q is the mid-point of AB.
⇒ AQ = QB …(i)
Since AD = BC [ ∵ ABCD is a rhombus]
∴ NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 CirclesAD = NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 CirclesBC
⇒ RA = SB
⇒ RA = OQ …(ii)
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/ A5
[ ∵ PQ is drawn parallel to AD and AD = BC]
We have, AB = AD [Sides of rhombus are equal]
⇒ NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 CirclesAB = NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 CirclesAD
⇒ AQ = AR …(iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii), we have AQ = QB = OQ
i.e. A circle drawn with Q as centre, will pass through A, B and O.
Thus, the circle passes through the of intersection ‘O’ of the diagonals rhombus ABCD.

Question 6. ABCD is a parallelogram. The circle through A, B and C intersect CD (produced if necessary) at E. Prove that AE = AD.
Solution:
We have a circle passing through A, B and C is drawn such that it intersects CD at E.
ABCE is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∴∠AEC + ∠B = 180° …(i)
[Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary] But ABCD is a parallelogram. [Given]
∴∠D = ∠B …(ii)
[Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]
From (i) and (ii), we have
∠AEC + ∠D = 180° …(iii)
But ∠AEC + ∠AED = 180° [Linear pair] …(iv)
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/ A6
From (iii) and (iv), we have ∠D = ∠AED
i.e., The base angles of AADE are equal.
∴ Opposite sides must be equal.
⇒ AE = AD

Question 7. AC and BD are chords of a circle which bisect each other. Prove that:

(i) AC and BD are diameters.

(ii) ABCD is a rectangle.

Solution:
Given: AC and BD of a circle bisect each other at O.

Then OA = OC and OB = OD

To prove: (i) AC and BD are the diameters. In other words, O is the centre of the circle.

(ii) ABCD is a rectangle.

Proof: (i) In triangles AOD and BOC,

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image039.jpg

AO = OC [given]

AOD = BOC [Vertically opp.]

OD = OB [given]

AODCOB [SAS congruency]

AD = CB [By CPCT]

Similarly AOBCOD

AB = CD

[Arcs opposite to equal chords]

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image042.png

AC = BD [Chords opposites to equal arcs]

AC and BD are the diameters as only diameters can bisects each other as the chords of the circle.

(ii) Ac is the diameter. [Proved in (i)]

B = D = ….(i) [Angle in semi-circle]

Similarly BD is the diameter.

A = C = …(ii) [Angle in semi-circle]

Now diameters AC = BD

[Arcs opposite to equal chords]

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image045.png

AD = BC [Chords corresponding to the equal arcs] ….(iii)

Similarly AB = DC ….(iv)

From eq. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we observe that each angle of the quadrilateral is and opposite sides are equal.

Hence ABCD is a rectangle.

Question 8. Bisectors of angles A, B and C of a triangle ABC intersect its circumcircle at D, E and F respectively. Prove that angles of the triangle are and respectively.

Solution:
According to question, AD is bisector of A.

1 = 2 = 

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image049.jpg

And BE is the bisector of B.

3 = 4 = 

Also CF is the bisector of C.

5 = 6 = 

Since the angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.

9 = 3 [angles subtended by ] ….(i)

And 8 = 5 [angles subtended by ] ….(ii)

Adding both equations,

9 + 8 = 3 + 5

D = 

Similarly E = 

And F = 

In triangle DEF,

D + E + F = 

D = (E + F )

D = 

D = 

D = [A + B + C = ]

D = 

Similarly, we can prove that

E = and F = 

Question 9. 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 BP = BQ.

Solution: 
Given: Two equal circles intersect in A and B.

A straight line through A meets the circles in P and Q.

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image065.jpg

To prove: BP = BQ

Construction: Join A and B.

Proof: AB is a common chord and the circles are equal.

Arc about the common chord are equal, i.e.,

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image066.png

Since equal arcs of two equal circles subtend equal angles at any point on the remaining part of the circle, then we have,

1 = 2

In triangle PBQ,

1 = 2 [proved]

Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal.

Then we have, BP = BQ

Question 10. In any triangle ABC, if the angle bisector of and perpendicular bisector of BC intersect, prove that they intersect on the circum circle of the triangle ABC.

Solution:
Given: ABC is a triangle and a circle passes through its vertices.

Angle bisector of A and the perpendicular bisector (say ) of its opposite side BC intersect each other at a point P.

To prove: Circumcircle of triangle ABC also passes through point P.

Proof: Since any point on the perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the end points of the corresponding side,

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter-10 Circles/image069.jpg

BP = PC ….(i)

Also we have 1 = 2 [AP is the bisector of A (given)] ….(ii)

From eq. (i) and (ii) we observe that equal line segments are subtending equal angles in the same segment i.e., at point A of circumcircle of ABC. Therefore BP and PC acts as chords of circumcircle of ABC and the corresponding congruent arcs and acts as parts of circumcircle. Hence point P lies on the circumcircle. In other words, points A, B, P and C are concyclic (proved).
