Exercise 10.6
EX 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 P and Q respectively such that they intersect each other at P and Q.
To Prove: ∠PAQ = ∠PBQ.
Proof: In ∆APQ and ∆BPQ,
PA = PB [Radii of the same circle]
QA = QB [Radii of the same circle]
PQ = PQ [Common]
∴ ∆APQ = ∆BPQ [ SSS congruence criteria]
⇒ ∠PAQ = ∠PBQ [C.P.C.T.]
EX 10.6 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 , find the radius of the circle.
Solution:
EX 10.6 QUESTION 3.
The lengths of two parallel chords of a circle are 6 cm and 8 cm. If the smaller chord is at a distance 4 cm from the centre, what is the distance of the other chord from the centre?
Solution:
EX 10.6 QUESTION 4.
The lengths of two parallel chords of a circle are 6 cm and 8 cm. If the smaller chord is at a distance 4 cm from the centre, what is the distance of the other chord from the centre?
