Example 2. In the adjoining figure, AB is a Chord of a circle with centre O. AB is produced to C such that BC = OB. CO is joined and produced to meet the circle to D. If Prove that x = 3y
Solution:- In (given)
[Angle opposite to equal side]
[Exterior angle is equal to sum of interior opposite angle]
Or,
in
OA = OB (radii)
[angle opposite to equal side]
= 2y
Q1. If two circles intersect each other at two points, prove that the line joining their centres is the perpendicular bisector of their common chord.
Q2. Two chords AB and AC of a circle are equal. Prove that the bisector of LBAC passes through the centre of the circle.
Q3. In the adjoining figure, l inter intersects two concentric circles with common centre O at A, B, C and D. prove that AB = CD.
Q4. In the adjoining figure, O is the centre of the circle of radius 5cm. AB = 6cm, CD = 8cm. Determine PQ
Q5. In the adjoining figure, of a circle with centre O. If BC is a diameter, prove that CA = 20D.
Answers
Equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre.
