Exercise-14

OP Malhotra Circle Class-10 S.Chand ICSE Maths Solutions Ch-14

Circle and line in a plane :

For a circle and a line on a plane, there can be three possibilities.

i) they can be non-intersecting

ii) they can have a single common point: in this case, the line touches the circle.

ii) they can have two common points: in this case, the line cuts the circle.

Tangent :

A tangent to a circle is a line which touches the circle at exactly one point. For every point on the circle, there is a unique tangent passing through it.

Secant :

A secant to a circle is a line which has two points in common with the circle. It cuts the circle at two points, forming a chord of the circle.

Circle:

A circle is a collection of all points in a plane which are at a constant distance from a fixed point.

Centre:

The fixed point is called the centre.

Radius:

The constant distance from the centre is called the radius.

Chord:

A line segment joining any two points on a circle is called a chord.

Diameter:

A chord passing through the centre of the circle is called diameter. It is the longest chord.

Tangent:

When a line meets the circle at one point or two coincidings The line is known as points, a tangent.
The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.
⇒ OP ⊥ AB

The lengths of the two tangents from an external point to a circle are equal.
⇒ AP = PB

Length of Tangent Segment
PB and PA are normally called the lengths of tangents from outside point P.

Properties of Tangent to Circle

Theorem 1: Prove that the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.
Given: XY is a tangent at point P to the circle with centre O.
To prove: OP ⊥ XY
Construction: Take a point Q on XY other than P and join OQ
Proof: If point Q lies inside the circle, then XY will become a secant and not a tangent to the circle
OQ > OP

This happens with every point on the line XY except the point P. OP is the shortest of all the distances of the point O to the points of XY
OP ⊥ XY …[Shortest side is the perpendicular]

Theorem 2: A line drawn through the end point of a radius and perpendicular to it, is the tangent to the circle.
Given: A circle C(O, r) and a line APB is perpendicular to OP, where OP is the radius.
To prove: AB is tangent at P.
Construction: Take a point Q on the line AB, different from P and join OQ.
Proof: Since OP ⊥ AB
OP < OQ ⇒ OQ > OP

The point Q lies outside the circle.
Therefore, every point on AB, other than P, lies outside the circle.
This shows that AB meets the circle at point P.
Hence, AP is a tangent to the circle at P.

Theorem 3: Prove that the lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal
Given: PT and PS are tangents from an external point P to the circle with centre O.
To prove: PT = PS
Construction: Join O to P, T and S.
