- Draw a circle of radius 3.6 cm. Draw a tangent to the circle at any point on it without using the centre. Answer: Use the converse of the tangent-secant angle theorem (alternate segment angle). Analysis: By the converse of the tangent-secant angl... 1
- Draw a circle of radius 3.3 cm. Draw a chord PQ of length 6.6 cm. Draw tangents to the circle at points P and Q. Write your observation about the tangents. Answer: Chord PQ is a diameter (6.6 = 2 × 3.3), so the tangents at P and Q are parallel to each other. Steps of construction: Draw a circle... 1
- Draw a circle with radius 3.4 cm. Draw a chord MN of length 5.7 cm in it. Construct tangents at point M and N to the circle. Answer: Draw radii OM and ON and draw lines perpendicular to them at M and N; these are the tangents (they meet outside the circle). Steps o... 1
- Draw a circle with centre P and radius 3.4 cm. Take point Q at a distance 5.5 cm from the centre. Construct tangents to the circle from point Q. Answer: Draw the circle with diameter PQ; it cuts the given circle at A and B. QA and QB are the tangents (each ≈ 4.3 cm). Steps of construc... 1
- Draw a circle with radius 4.1 cm. Construct tangents to the circle from a point at a distance 7.3 cm from the centre. Answer: Draw a circle on OP (OP = 7.3 cm) as diameter; it cuts the given circle at A and B. PA and PB are the tangents (each ≈ 6 cm). Steps... 1
- The number of tangents that can be drawn to a circle at a point on the circle is ........ (A) 3 (B) 2 (C) 1 (D) 0 Answer: (C) 1 At a point on a circle, the tangent must be perpendicular to the radius at that point. Through a point on a line exactly one p... 1
- The maximum number of tangents that can be drawn to a circle from a point outside it is ........ (A) 2 (B) 1 (C) one and only one (D) 0 Answer: (A) 2 From an external point P, the circle with diameter OP cuts the given circle at exactly two points A and B, so exactly two tang... 1
- If ΔABC ~ ΔPQR and AB/PQ = 7/5, then ........ (A) ΔABC is bigger. (B) ΔPQR is bigger. (C) Both triangles will be equal. (D) Can not be decided. Answer: (A) ΔABC is bigger. For similar triangles all corresponding sides are in the same ratio: AB/PQ=BC/QR=AC/PR=7/5 > 1 . So every side o... 1
- Draw a circle with centre O and radius 3.5 cm. Take point P at a distance 5.7 cm from the centre. Draw tangents to the circle from point P. Answer: Draw the circle with diameter OP; it cuts the given circle at A and B. PA and PB are the tangents (each ≈ 4.5 cm). Steps of construc... 1
- Draw any circle. Take any point A on it and construct tangent at A without using the centre of the circle. Answer: Use the converse of the tangent-secant angle theorem: make the angle between the chord and the line equal to the inscribed angle on... 1
- Draw a circle of diameter 6.4 cm. Take a point R at a distance equal to its diameter from the centre. Draw tangents from point R. Answer: Radius = 3.2 cm, OR = 6.4 cm. The circle on OR as diameter cuts the given circle at A and B; RA and RB are the tangents (each ≈ 5.5... 1
- Draw a circle with centre P. Draw an arc AB of 100° measure. Draw tangents to the circle at point A and point B. Answer: Draw radii PA and PB with ∠APB = 100° and draw perpendiculars to them at A and B; these are the tangents (they meet at 80°). Analysi... 1
- Draw a circle of radius 3.4 cm and centre E. Take a point F on the circle. Take another point A such that E-F-A and FA = 4.1 cm. Draw tangents to the circle from point A. Answer: EA = 3.4 + 4.1 = 7.5 cm. The circle with diameter EA cuts the given circle at P and Q; AP and AQ are the tangents (each ≈ 6.7 cm). S... 1
- ΔABC ~ ΔLBN. In ΔABC, AB = 5.1 cm, ∠B = 40°, BC = 4.8 cm, AC/LN = 4/7. Construct ΔABC and ΔLBN. Answer: In ΔLBN, LB ≈ 8.9 cm (8.925 cm), ∠B = 40°, BN = 8.4 cm. Analysis: AB/LB=BC/BN=AC/LN=4/7 , so ΔLBN is bigger. Vertex B is common, so... 1
- Construct ΔPYQ such that, PY = 6.3 cm, YQ = 7.2 cm, PQ = 5.8 cm. If YZ/YQ = 6/5, then construct ΔXYZ similar to ΔPYQ. Answer: ΔXYZ has XY = 7.56 cm, YZ = 8.64 cm, XZ = 6.96 cm. Analysis: ΔXYZ ~ ΔPYQ (X↔P, Y↔Y, Z↔Q), so XY/PY=YZ/YQ=XZ/PQ=6/5 . ΔXYZ is bigger... 1
- Find the distance between the points A(2, 3), B(4, 1). Answer: AB = 2sqrt2 Distance formula: d=√((x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²) . AB=√((4-2)²+(1-3)²) =√(4+4)=sqrt8=2sqrt2 1
- Find the distance between the points P(-5, 7), Q(-1, 3). Answer: PQ = 4sqrt2 Distance formula: d=√((x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²) . PQ=√((-1+5)²+(3-7)²) =√(16+16)=√(32)=4sqrt2 1
- Find the distance between the points R(0, -3), S(0, 5/2). Answer: RS = 11/2 Distance formula: d=√((x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²) . Both points are on the Y-axis. RS=√(0²+(5/2+3)²) =√((11/2)²)=11/2 1
