Q1.Prove that the tangents drawn at the ends of a diameter of a circle are parallel.

Show answer and solution

Let XY and LM touch the circle at the ends A and B of diameter AB.

OA ⟂ XY and OB ⟂ LM, by the tangent–radius theorem.

Thus XY and LM are both perpendicular to the same straight line AB.

Therefore, XY ∥ LM.

Answer: The tangents are parallel.

Q2.Prove that the tangent drawn at any point of the circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.

Show answer and solution

Let XY be tangent at P to a circle with centre O.

Every other point Q on XY lies outside the circle, so OQ > OP.

Thus OP is the shortest distance from O to the line XY.

The shortest distance from a point to a line is the perpendicular distance.

Therefore, OP ⟂ XY.

Answer: The tangent is perpendicular to the radius at contact.

Q4.If a hexagon ABCDEF circumscribes a circle, prove that AB + CD + EF = BC + DE + FA.

Show answer and solution

Let contact points on AB, BC, CD, DE, EF and FA be P, Q, R, S, T and U.

Equal tangents give AP = AU, BP = BQ, CQ = CR, DR = DS, ES = ET and FT = FU.

AB + CD + EF = (AP + PB) + (CR + RD) + (ET + TF).

Substitute the equal tangent lengths: (AU + BQ) + (CQ + DS) + (ES + FU).

Regrouping gives BC + DE + FA.

Answer: AB + CD + EF = BC + DE + FA.

Q9.(a) Prove that the line segment joining the points of contact of two parallel tangents to a circle passes through its centre.

Show answer and solution

Let the parallel tangents touch the circle at A and B, and O be the centre.

OA and OB are perpendicular to the respective parallel tangents.

Through O there is only one line perpendicular to either of these parallel lines.

Therefore A, O and B are collinear.

Q42.PX and PY are two tangents drawn from an external point P to a circle with centre O. If ∠XPY = 120°, then prove that PX + PY = PO.

Show answer and solution

△OXP ≅ △OYP by RHS, so OP bisects ∠XPY.

∠XPO = 60° and ∠OXP = 90°.

Thus ∠QPR = 90°.

∠OQP and ∠ORP are tangent–radius angles, so both are 90°.

The fourth angle ∠QOR is also 90°, so ORPQ is a rectangle.

OQ = OR, since they are radii.

Original CBSE question figure; use the stated measurements.
Show answer and solution

OC is perpendicular to chord AB, so AC = BC.

The collinear points give PA = PC − AC and PB = PC + BC.

PA · PB = (PC − AC)(PC + BC).

Substitute BC = AC to obtain (PC − AC)(PC + AC).

Therefore, PA · PB = PC² − AC².

Q49.AB is diameter of a circle and AC is its chord such that ∠BAC = 30°. If the tangent at C intersects AB extended at D, then prove that BC = BD.

Show answer and solution

Join OC. Since AB is a diameter, ∠ACB = 90°, so ∠ABC = 60°.

OB = OC, hence ∠OCB = ∠OBC = 60°.

OC ⟂ CD, so ∠BCD = 30°.

BA and BD are opposite rays, so ∠CBD = 120°.

Thus ∠BDC = 180° − 120° − 30° = 30°.

Equal angles ∠BCD and ∠BDC give BC = BD.

Answer: BC = BD.

Q50.Prove that if a quadrilateral is circumscribed about a circle, the angles subtended at the centre by any two opposite sides are supplementary.

Show answer and solution

Let ABCD circumscribe a circle with centre O.

The two right triangles at each vertex, formed by its tangents and radii, are congruent by RHS.

Thus OA, OB, OC and OD bisect the respective vertex angles.

In triangle AOB, ∠AOB = 180° − (∠A + ∠B)/2.

Similarly, ∠COD = 180° − (∠C + ∠D)/2.

Add these and use ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° to get ∠AOB + ∠COD = 180°.

Answer: The angles subtended by opposite sides at the centre are supplementary.

Original CBSE figure for Question 56. In the given figure, two radii OA and OB of a circle with centre O are perpendicular to each other. If two tangents drawn at points A and B intersect each other at point T, prove that AB = OT and they bisect each other.
Original CBSE question figure; use the stated measurements.
Show answer and solution

OA ⟂ AT and OB ⟂ BT, by the tangent–radius theorem.

Also OA ⟂ OB, so AT ∥ OB and BT ∥ OA.

Therefore, OATB is a parallelogram with a right angle: it is a rectangle.

OA = OB, so OATB is a square.

The diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other.

Hence AB = OT, and AB and OT bisect each other.

Answer: AB = OT, and they bisect each other.

Original CBSE figure for Question 57. In the given figure, AB and CD are tangents to a circle centred at O. Is ∠BAC = ∠DCA? Justify your answer.
Original CBSE question figure; use the stated measurements.
Show answer and solution

Join OA and OC. Since OA = OC, ∠OAC = ∠OCA.

OA ⟂ AB and OC ⟂ CD.

Thus ∠BAC = 90° − ∠OAC and ∠DCA = 90° − ∠OCA.

Subtracting equal angles from 90° gives ∠BAC = ∠DCA.

Questions students ask

Which theorem should I write first in a Circles two-mark solution?

For a tangent and radius, state that the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at contact. For two tangents from one external point, state that their lengths are equal. Use the theorem that connects the given measurements to the required result.

How do I find a tangent length from the radius and centre distance?

Join the centre O to the contact point T and external point P. Since OT is perpendicular to PT, Pythagoras gives PT² = OP² − OT². Take the positive square root and include the unit.

How do I find a chord touching a concentric circle?

Join the common centre to the contact point. This radius is perpendicular to the chord and bisects it. Use Pythagoras to find half the chord, then double that length.

How are the angle between tangents and the central angle related?

The two radii at contact are perpendicular to the tangents. The four angles of the resulting quadrilateral total 360°, so the angle between the tangents and the minor angle between those radii total 180°.

Can I assume a diagram is drawn to scale?

Use the printed lengths, angles and geometric conditions. A diagram helps identify points and arcs; its apparent proportions do not establish a length, right angle or midpoint.

When should I use RHS congruence?

For tangents PA and PB to a circle with centre O, triangles OAP and OBP are right triangles. Their hypotenuse OP is common and OA = OB. RHS congruence then proves corresponding angles and tangent lengths equal.

Do I solve both alternatives of an OR question?

In the examination, answer one alternative according to the paper instructions. Both alternatives are solved on this page for practice, and the original pair is kept together.

How can I find an incircle radius in a right triangle?

For perpendicular sides x and y and hypotenuse z, equal tangent lengths give z = x + y − 2r. Hence r = (x + y − z)/2. Establish the side lengths before substituting.

How to write a two-mark solution

  1. Name the tangent or circle theorem that applies.
  2. Write the equation or congruence, then substitute the given values.
  3. Give the required result on a separate line, with units for lengths.
