Q-3 If two equal chords of a circle intersect within the circle; prove that the line joining the point of intersection to the centre makes equal angles with the chords.
Solution:
Given,
- AB and PQ are chords intersecting at S.
- , CD is the diameter.
To prove,
Now, Construction,
- Draw And OS is joined.
In and ,
- (Equal chords are equidistant from the centre)
- (Common line)
- ( by construction)
- Therefore, (By Right Angle Hypotenuse congruence condition)
Therefore,
- by Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles
- (Same angle)
Q-4 If a line intersects two concentric circles (circles with the same centre) with centre O. A common chord intersects the circles at A, B, C and D, prove that AB = CD (see Fig.) .
Solution:
Given,
Two concentric circles, with centre at O and common chord intersecting at A, B, C and D
Contruction, draw a line OM ⊥ AD, intersecting AD at M.
Now, since and is drawn from center O
- OM is bisects of AD as .
- … equation (1)
Since O is also the center of inner circle, therefore OM also bisects BC as .
- Therefore, … equation (2)
From (1) and (2) ,
