Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let AB be the chord of the circle with center O.

A chord of length 6 cm is drawn in a circle of diameter 10 cm, its distance from the center of the circle is : Circle, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Given,

Diameter = 10 cm

Radius = $\frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{10}{2}$ = 5 cm.

We know that,

Perpendicular from center to chord, bisects the chord.

∴ AD = $\frac{AB}{2} = \frac{6}{2}$ = 3 cm.

In right angled triangle OAD,

By pythagoras theorem,

⇒ Hypotenuse2 = Perpendicular2 + Base2

⇒ OA2 = OD2 + AD2

⇒ 52 = OD2 + 32

⇒ OD2 = 52 - 32

⇒ OD2 = 25 - 9

⇒ OD2 = 16

⇒ OD = $\sqrt{16}$ = 4 cm.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.

In larger circle,

⇒ AE = ED ............(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from (2), we get :

Given,

⇒ AB > CD

⇒ $\frac{AB}{2} \gt \frac{CD}{2}$

⇒ BM > CN

From figure,

OC = OB = radius = r.

In right angle triangle ONC,

By pythagoras theorem,

⇒ Hypotenuse2 = Perpendicular2 + Base2

⇒ OC2 = ON2 + CN2

⇒ r2 = ON2 + CN2

⇒ ON2 = r2 - CN2

⇒ ON = $\sqrt{r^2 - CN^2}$

In right angle triangle OMB,

By pythagoras theorem,

⇒ Hypotenuse2 = Perpendicular2 + Base2

⇒ OB2 = OM2 + BM2

⇒ r2 = OM2 + BM2

⇒ OM2 = r2 - BM2

⇒ OM = $\sqrt{r^2 - BM^2}$

Since, BM > CN

∴ r2 - BM2 < r2 - CN2

⇒ $\sqrt{r^2 - BM^2} \lt \sqrt{r^2 - CN^2}$

⇒ OM < ON.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.

∴ AN = NP and MP = MB

From figure,

⇒ AB = AN + PN + MP + MB

⇒ AB = PN + PN + MP + MP

⇒ AB = 2PN + 2MP

⇒ AB = 2(PN + MP)

⇒ AB = 2NM

⇒ AB = 2OO' ............(1)

Draw OE and O'F perpendicular to CD.

We know that,

Perpendicular from center to the chord bisects it.

∴ CE = EQ and QF = FD

From figure,

⇒ CD = CE + EQ + QF + FD

⇒ CD = EQ + EQ + QF + QF

⇒ CD = 2EQ + 2QF

⇒ CD = 2(EQ + QF)

⇒ CD = 2EF

⇒ CD = 2OO' ............(2)

From equation (1) and (2), we get :

⇒ AB = CD.

Thus, AB ≠ CD is not true.

Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.

⇒ AC2 = 289 - 64

⇒ AC2 = 225

⇒ AC = $\sqrt{225}$ = 15 cm.

We know that,

Perpendicular from center to chord, bisects the chord.

The figure, given below, shows a circle with center O in which diameter AB bisects the chord CD at point E. If CE = ED = 8 cm and EB = 4 cm, find the radius of the circle. Circle, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

From figure,

Radius = OB = OD = x cm

⇒ OE = OB - EB = (x - 4) cm.

We know that,

A straight line drawn from the center of a circle to bisect a chord, is perpendicular to the chord.

∴ OE ⊥ CD

In right-angled triangle OED,

By pythagoras theorem,

⇒ Hypotenuse2 = Perpendicular2 + Base2

⇒ OD2 = OE2 + ED2

⇒ x2 = (x - 4)2 + 82

⇒ x2 = x2 + 42 - 2 × x × 4 + 64

⇒ x2 = x2 + 16 - 8x + 64

⇒ x2 - x2 + 8x = 80

⇒ 8x = 80

⇒ x = $\frac{80}{8}$ = 10 cm.

Hence, radius of circle = 10 cm.

(i) Join OA.

We know that,

Perpendicular from center to chord, bisects the chord.

As, OM ⊥ AB

∴ AM = $\frac{AB}{2} = \frac{24}{2}$ = 12 cm.

In △ OAM,

By pythagoras theorem,

⇒ Hypotenuse2 = Perpendicular2 + Base2

⇒ OA2 = OM2 + AM2

⇒ OA2 = 52 + 122

⇒ OA2 = 25 + 144

⇒ OA2 = 169

⇒ OA = $\sqrt{169}$ = 13 cm.

Hence the radius of circle = 13 cm.

(ii) We know that,

Perpendicular from center of the circle to chord, bisects the chord.

As, ON ⊥ CD

∴ CN = $\frac{CD}{2}$

⇒ CD = 2CN .............(1)

Join OC.

In △ OCN,

By pythagoras theorem,

⇒ Hypotenuse2 = Perpendicular2 + Base2

⇒ OC2 = ON2 + NC2

⇒ 132 = 122 + CN2

⇒ CN2 = 132 - 122

⇒ CN2 = 169 - 144

⇒ CN2 = 25

⇒ CN = $\sqrt{25}$ = 5 cm.

Substituting value of CN in equation (1), we get :

⇒ CD = 2 × 5 = 10 cm.

Hence, length of chord CD = 10 cm.

AB and CD are two equal chords of a circle with center O which intersect each other at right angle at point P. If OM ⊥ AB and ON ⊥ CD; show that OMPN is a square. Circle, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Since, OM ⊥ AB and ON ⊥ CD.

∴ ∠OMP = ∠ONP = 90°.

Given,

AB and CD intersect at right angle.

∴ ∠MPN = 90°.

We know that,

Sum of angles of quadrilateral equal to 360°.

∴ ∠OMP + ∠ONP + ∠MPN + ∠MON = 360°

⇒ 90° + 90° + 90° + ∠MON = 360°

⇒ 270° + ∠MON = 360°

⇒ ∠MON = 360° - 270° = 90°.

Given,

AB = CD

We know that,

Equal chords are equidistant from the center.

∴ OM = ON = x (let) ............(1)

Since,

⇒ AB ⊥ CD and ON ⊥ CD

∴ AB || ON

∴ MP || ON.

⇒ OM ⊥ AB and CD ⊥ AB

∴ OM || CD

∴ OM || PN.

Since, in quadrilateral OMPN opposite sides are parallel.

∴ OMPN is parallelogram.

We know that,

Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal.

∴ MP = ON = x and OM = PN = x

∴ MP = ON = OM = PN.

Since, all sides of quadrilateral OMPN are equal and each interior angle to 90°.

Hence, proved that OMPN is a square.

⇒ 132 = OC2 + 122

⇒ 169 = OC2 + 144

⇒ OC2 = 169 - 144
