Module Objectives

Introduction

• Circles are one of the interesting figures in geometry.• The wheels of the carts, automobiles and trains are circular.

What is Circle?

• A closed curve, every point of which is equidistant from a given fixed point.• This fixed point (O) is called the centre of the circle.• A circle is the locus of a moving point in a plane such that it is at a constant distance from the given fixed

point.• Locus is the path traced by a moving point

Radius

• The line segment joining the centre to any point on the circle.• OA and OB are the radii of the given circle.• The radii of a circle are always equal. i.e: OA == OB• Circumference/Perimeter is the Distance around the circle.

Chord & Diameter

• CHORD-A line segment with its end points lying on the circle.• Here AB,PQ and XY are the chords.• DIAMETER-A line segment passing through the centre of the circle and has its end points on circle.• Diameter is the longest chord of a circle.(PQ)• Length of a diameter is twice as its radius. Here PQ=OP+OQ• Diameter = 2 (Radius) D=2R or Radius = Diameter/2 i.e: R = D/2

Concentric and Congruent Circles

Circles C1,C2,C3 have the same center O and different radiiOA(1.2cm),OB(1.8cm) and OC(2.5cm).

Concentric circles are circles with same centre and different radii.

Circles C1,C2,C3 have different centres P,Q and R.But they have same radii,PA=QB=RC=1.5 cm.

Congruent circles are circles with same radii but different centres.

ARC OF A CIRCLE

• An arc is a `Part’ of a Circle.• The chord divides the circle into two parts,One smaller than the other.• The smaller part is called the minor arc which is denoted as AXB.• The greater part is called the major arc which is denoted as AYB.• AXB and AYB are conjugate arcs.They lie on either sides of chord AB.• If a chord is a diameter ,it divides the circle into two arcs of same size.Each is a semi circle.• Here CXD and CYD are semicircles.

Segment of a Circle

• The part of the circular region included by an arc and the chord is called a segment.• The region bounded by the chord AB and the major arc APB is called the major segment.• The region bounded by the chord AB and the minor arc AQB is called the minor segment.• The region bounded by the diameter and the arc is called the semi circular region.

Properties of Chord in a Circle

• In each of the circles given below,PG is the chord and OA is perpendicular to PQ.In each case PA=QA.

Property: In a circle the perpendicular from the centre to the chord , bisects the chord

Properties of chord of a circle

Property: Equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre

Here the two chords AB and RS are equidistant from the centre(OD=OF).Hence AB=RS.

In a circle if BC is the chord and OA is perpendicular to BC,

OB²=OA²+AB²r²=d²+AB²r² = d²+l²r=radiusd= perpendicular distance of chord from centrel= length of the chord/2

ANGLE PROPERTIES OF A CIRCLE

• Angles are of paramount importance in geometry and also in real life.• Surveyors,Engineers,Navigators,Astronomers ,Scientists and many other people use the measurements of

angles.• In Circle 4,the vertex of the angle lies with the centre of the circle.Such an angle is called central angle.The arms of the central angle are its radii.• In Circle 1,the vertex of the angle lies on the circle and its arms intersect the circle at two points.Such an angle is called inscribed angle.

How many central angles canbe drawn to intercept the

circleat A and B?

How many angles can be inscribed in a circle by the

same arc?

In circles 2 and 3 can angle ACB be called an

inscribed angle?Why?

Think! Think! Think!

Relation between Central Angle and Inscribed Angle

• In the circles given below, O is the centre of the circle and the arc AXB subtends angle AOB at the centre and ACB on the remaining part.

• Measure angles AOB and ACB seperately .It can be found that , AOB = 2 ACB.

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by the same arc at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

From the above diagram we can conclude that:

• Angle in the major segment is an acute angle.• Angle in the minor segment is an obtuse angle.• Angle in the semi-circle is a right angle.• Angles in the same segment are equal.

Angles in a Segment

Solution:

1. X = 2 × 30˚ (angle at the centre is twice the angle at any point on the circle.) x = 60˚ y = 30˚ (angles in the same segment are equal)

2. X = ½ × 105˚ X = 52.5˚ (angle at any point on the circle is half the angle at centre)

3. X = ½ × 80˚4. X = 40˚ (angle at any point on the circle is half the angle at the centre)

Angles in a Segment

Example-2: Find the angles of the triangle ACB.

Solution : ABC = 30˚ (given) ACB = 90˚ (angle in a semicircle) Hence CAB = 180˚ - ( 30˚ + 90˚ ) = 180˚ - 120˚ CAB = 60˚

Angles in a Segment

Data: `O’ is the centre of the circle.AXB is the arc.AOB is the angle subtended by the arc AXB at the centre.ACB is the angle subtended by the arc AXB at a point on the remaining part of the circle.

To Prove: AOB = 2 ACB

Construction : Join CO and produce it to D.

Statement Reason1. OA = OC Radii of the same circle are equal.

2. OCA = OAC Angles opposite to equal sides are equal.

3.In ∆AOC, AOD = OCA + OAC Exterior angle of a triangle = sum of interior opposite angles.

4. AOD = OCA + OCA Substituting OAC by OCA from statement .

5. AOD = 2 OCA By addition

6.Similarly in ∆ BOC , BOD = 2 OCB Adding statements 5 and 6.

7. AOD + BOD = 2 OCA + 2 OCB = 2(OCA+OCB) Taking out 2 as common.

8. AOB = 2 ACB Since AOD + BOD = AOB ,OCA +OCB = ACB

Angles in a Segment

Example-1 : Prove that angle in a semicircle is a right angle. Data: AOB is the diameter. ACB is angle in the semicircle. To prove: ACB = 90° Proof: 1) AOB = 180° ( AOB is a straight line ) 2) ACB = ½ AOB (angle at any point on the circle is half the angle at centre.) 3) ACB = ½ × 180° (from 1) 4) ACB = 90°

Example-2 : From the adjoining diagram , prove that ∆APC and ∆DPB are equiangular. To prove : ∆ APC and ∆DPB are equiangular. Proof : In ∆ APC and ∆DPB APC = BPD (Vertically opposite angles) ACP = ABD (Angles in the same segment are equal) PAC = PDB (Angles in the same segment are equal) Hence ∆ APC and ∆DPB are equiangular.
