WORKSHEET-CIRCLES

1. Two tangents PQ and PR are drawn from an external point to a circle with centre O. Prove that
QORP is a cyclic quadrilateral.
2. A circle touches all the four sides of a quadrilateral ABCD. Prove that AB + CD = BC + DA.
3. Prove that the parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.
4. Prove that the centre of a circle touching two intersecting lines lies on the angle bisector of the
lines.
5. Prove that the tangents drawn at the ends of a chord of a circle make equal angles with the
chord.
6. If a circle touches the side BC of a triangle ABC at P and extended sides AB and AC at Q and R,
respectively, prove that AQ = ½ (BC + CA + AB)
7. From an external point P, two tangents, PA and PB are drawn to a circle with centre O. At one-
point E on the circle tangent is drawn which intersects PA and PB at C and D, respectively. If PA =
10 cm, find the perimeter of the triangle PCD.
8. Two circles with centres O and O' of radii 3 cm and 4 cm, respectively intersect at two points P
and Q such that OP and O'P are tangents to the two circles. Find the length of the common
chord PQ.
9. Prove that the tangent drawn at the mid-point of an arc of a circle is parallel to the chord joining
the end points of the arc.
10. If an isosceles triangle ABC, in which AB = AC = 6 cm, is inscribed in a circle of radius 9 cm, find
the area of the triangle.
11. A is a point at a distance 13 cm from the centre O of a circle of radius 5 cm. AP and AQ are the
tangents to the circle at P and Q. If a tangent BC is drawn at a point R lying on the minor arc PQ
to intersect AP at B and AQ at C, find the perimeter of the ∆ABC.
