Question 21 Mark
In the figure, quadrilateral ABCD is a cyclic. If ∠DAB = 75°, then find measure of ∠DCB.

Answer
In ▢ABCD,

∠DAB = 75° .....[Given]

∠DAB + ∠DCB = 180° ......[Opposite angle of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary]

∴ 75° + ∠ DCB = 180°

Question 51 Mark
A, B, C are any points on the circle with centre O. If m(arc BC) = 110° and m(arc AB) = 125°, find measure arc AC.
Answer
m(arc AB) + m(arc BC) + m(arc AC) = 360° ......[Measure of complete circle is 360°]

∴ 125° + 110° + m(arc AC) = 360°

Question 71 Mark
Two circles having radii 3.5 cm and 4.8 cm touch each other internally. Find the distance between their centres.
Answer
It is given that two circle having radii 3.5 cm and 4.8 cm touch each other internally.

We know, the distance between the centres of the circles touching internally is equal to the difference of their radii.

∴ Distance between the centres of the two circles = 4.8 cm − 3.5 cm = 1.3 cm

Thus, the distance between their centres is 1.3 cm.

Question 91 Mark
In the figure, if ∠ABC = 35°, then find m(arc AXC)?
Answer
In the figure, arc $A X C$ is intercepted by $\angle A B C$.
$\therefore \angle ABC =\frac{1}{2} m ( ar AXC )$ ...[[The measure of an inscribed angle is half of the measure of the arc intercepted by it]
$\therefore m(\operatorname{arc} A X C)=2 \angle A B C$

Question 121 Mark
Find distance between point O(0, 0) and B (-5 , 12).
Answer
Let $O\left(x_1, y_1\right)=O(0,0)$ and $B\left(x_2, y_2\right)=B(-5,12)$

$\therefore \mathrm{x}_1=0, \mathrm{y}_1=0, \mathrm{x}_2=-5, \mathrm{y}_2=12$

By distance formula,

$d(O, B)=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(-5-0)^2+(12-0)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(-5)^2+12^2}$

$=\sqrt{25+144}$

$=\sqrt{169}$

$\therefore d(O, B)=13 \text { units }$

$\therefore$ The distance between the points $O$ and $B$ is 13 units.

Question 141 Mark
If a triangle having sides 8 cm., 15 cm., and 17 cm., then state wheather given triangle is right angled triangle or not.
Answer
The sides of the triangle are $8 \mathrm{~cm}, 15 \mathrm{~cm}$, and $17 \mathrm{~cm}$.

The longest side of the triangle is $17 \mathrm{~cm}$.

$\therefore(17)^2=289$

Now, sum of the squares of the remaining sides is,

$(8)^2+(15)^2=64+225=289$

$\therefore(17)^2=(8)^2+(15)^2$

$\therefore$ Square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the remaining two sides.

$\therefore$ The given sides will form a right-angled triangle.$\quad$ $\ldots$[Converse of Pythagoras theorem]

Answer
Let the corresponding sides of similar triangles be $s_1$ and $s_2$.

Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ be their corresponding areas.

$s_1: s_2=4: 7 \quad \ldots \text{[Given]}$

$\therefore \frac{s_1}{s_2}=\frac{4}{7}\quad \ldots \text{(i)}$

by theorem of areas of similar triangles,

$\frac{A_1}{A_2}=\frac{s_1^2}{s_2^2}$

$\frac{A_1}{A_2}=\left(\frac{s_1}{s_2}\right)^2$

$\frac{A_1}{A_2}=\left(\frac{4}{7}\right)^2 \quad \ldots \ldots . .[\text { From (i)] } $

Let $A\left(x_1, y_1\right)=A(4,7), B\left(x_2, y_2\right)=B(8,4), C\left(x_3, y_3\right)=C(7,11)$

$\therefore$ By centroid formula,

$\mathrm{x}=\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3}$

$=\frac{4+8+7}{3}$

$=\frac{19}{3}$

$\mathrm{y}=\frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3}$

$=\frac{7+4+11}{3}$

$=\frac{22}{3}$

Question 191 Mark
If a triangle having sides 50 cm., 14 cm, and 48 cm., then state wheather given triangle is right angled triangle or not.
Answer
The sides of the triangle are $50 \mathrm{~cm}, 14 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $48 \mathrm{~cm}$.

The longest side of the triangle is $50 \mathrm{~cm}$.

$\therefore(50)^2=2500$

Now, sum of the squares of the remaining sides is,

$(14)^2+(48)^2=196+2304=2500$

$\therefore(50)^2=(14)^2+(48)^2$

$\therefore$ Square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the remaining two sides.

$\therefore$ The given sides will form a right angled triangle. ...[Converse of Pythagoras theorem]

Let $A\left(x_1, y_1\right)=A(-2,6), B\left(x_2, y_2\right)=B(8,2), C\left(x_1, y\right)$ be the midpoint of seg $A B$.

$\therefore \mathrm{x}_1=-2, \mathrm{y}_1=6, \mathrm{x}_2=8, \mathrm{y}_2=2$

By midpoint formula,

$C(x, y)=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

Question 471 Mark
Two circles having radii 3.5 cm and 4.8 cm touch each other internally. Find the distance between their centres.
Answer

SOLUTION : 1
It is given that two circle having radii $3.5 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $4.8 \mathrm{~cm}$ touch each other internally.
We know, the distance between the centres of the circles touching internally is equal to the difference of their radii.
$\therefore$ Distance between the centres of the two circles $=4.8 \mathrm{~cm}-3.5 \mathrm{~cm}=1.3 \mathrm{~cm}$
Thus, the distance between their centres is $1.3 \mathrm{~cm}$.
SOLUTION : 2
Let the two circles having centres $P$ and $Q$ touch each other internally at point $R$.
Image
Here, $Q R=3.5 \mathrm{~cm}, P R=4.8 \mathrm{~cm}$
The two circles touch each other internally.
By theorem of touching circles,
$\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{Q}-\mathrm{R}$
$P Q=P R-Q R$ $\quad$ $\ldots$ [The distance between the centres of circles touching internally is equal to the difference in their radii]
$=4.8-3.5$
