RS Aggarwal Solutions Class 10 Chapter 12 Circles

Question 1:

PA is the tangent to the circle with center O and radius AO = 8 cm. The point P is at a distance of 17 cm from O.
In ∆ PAO, A = 90◦,

By Pythagoras theorem:

Hence, the length of the tangent = 15 cm.

Question 2:
PA is the tangent to the circle with centre O and radius, such that PO = 25 cm, PA = 24 cm
In ∆ PAO, A = 90◦,

By Pythagoras theorem:

Hence, the radius of the circle is 7 cm.

Question 3:
Given AP is a tangent at A and OA is radius through A and PA and PB are the tangent segments to circle with centre O.
Therefore, OA is perpendicular to AP, similarly, OB is perpendicular to BP.

∴ ∠OAP = 90◦
And ∠OBP = 90◦
So, ∠OAP = ∠OBP = 90◦
∴ ∠OBP + ∠OAP = (90◦ + 90◦) = 180◦
Thus, the sum of opposite angles of quad. AOBP is 180◦
∴ AOBP is a cyclic quadrilateral

Question 4:
Given: From an external point P, tangent PA and PB are drawn to a circle with centre O. CD is the tangent to the circle at a point E and PA = 14cm.

Since the tangents from an external point are equal, we have
PA = PB,
Also, CA = CE and DB = DE
Perimeter of ∆PCD = PC + CD + PD
= (PA – CA) + (CE + DE) +(PB – DB)
= (PA – CE) + (CE + DE) + (PB – DE)
= (PA + PB) = 2PA = (2 × 14) cm
= 28 cm
Hence, Perimeter of ∆PCD = 28 cm

Question 5:
A circle is inscribed in a triangle ABC touching AB, BC and CA at P, Q and R respectively.

Also, AB = 10 cm, AR = 7cm, CR = 5cm
AR, AP are the tangents to the circle
AP = AR = 7cm
AB = 10 cm
BP = AB – AP = (10 – 7) = 3 cm
Also, BP and BQ are tangents to the circle
BP = BQ = 3 cm
Further, CQ and CR are tangents to the circle
CQ = CR = 5cm
BC = BQ + CQ = (3 + 5) cm = 8 cm
Hence, BC = 8 cm

Question 6:
Let the circle touches the sides AB, BC, CD and DA at P, Q, R, S respectively
We know that the length of tangents drawn from an exterior point to a circle are equal

AP = AS —-(1) {tangents from A}
BP = BQ —(2) {tangents from B}
CR = CQ —(3) {tangents from C}
DR = DS—-(4) {tangents from D}
Adding (1), (2) and (3) we get
∴ AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS
⇒ (AP + BP) + (CR + DR) = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
⇒ AB + CD = AD + BC
⇒ AD = (AB + CD) – BC = {(6 + 4) – 7} cm = 3 cm
Hence, AD = 3 cm

Question 7:
Given: Two tangent segments BC and BD are drawn to a circle with centre O such that ∠CBD = 120◦.
Join OB, OC and OD.

In triangle OBC,
∠OBC = ∠OBD = 60◦
∠OCB = 90◦ (BC is tangent to the circle)
Therefore, ∠BOC = 30◦
BCOB=sin30∘=12
⇒ OB = 2BC

Question 8:
Given O is the centre of two concentric circles of radii 4 cm and 6 cm respectively. PA and PB are tangents to the outer and inner circle respectively. PA = 10cm. Join OA, OB and OP.
Then, OB = 4 cm, OA= 6 cm and PA = 10 cm

In triangle OAP,

Hence, BP = 10.9 cm

Question 9:

Join OR and OS, then OR = OS
OR ⊥DR and OS⊥DS
∴ ORDS is a square
Tangents from an external point being equal, we have
BP = BQ
CQ = CR
DR = DS
∴ BQ = BP = 27 cm
⇒ BC – CQ = 27 cm
⇒ 38 – CQ = 27
⇒ CQ = 11 cm
⇒ CR = 11 cm
⇒ CD – DR = 11 cm
⇒ 25 – DR = 11 cm
⇒ DR = 14 cm
⇒ r = 14 cm
Hence, radius = 14 cm
