The Ferris wheel is one of the attractions that most children seek out when visiting
amusement parks. For creating such structures, circles are preferred as it provide equal
support to handle the desired load in each of the components. These components
maintain the overall balance of the wheel.
| TOPIC 1 |
ANGLE SUBTENDED BY A CHORD AT A POINT
Learning Objectives
Students will be learning that the angle subtended by the equal chords
of a circle at the centre are equal.
Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to understand the theorems and apply them.
So, here, the architects and engineers applied the concept of circles in their
design so that the building has a circular shape and is also practical and
strong enough.
To make such circular structures, concepts of arcs, chords and angles are used.
This is how angle subtended by a chord applies in real life. Let’s study angle
subtended by a chord at a point in detail.
As we know, the chord of circle is the line segment that joins two points on the
circumference of the circle. If we draw two or more equal chords of a circle
and determine the angles subtended by them at the centre, we will observe
that the size of the chord and the angle subtended by it at the centre has a
relationship.
Theorem-1
Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre.
Given: A circle with centre O.

Example 1. Show that ∠OMN = ∠ONM, if AB and CD are two equal chords.
C A
M N
B D
Ans. We know that equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre.
AB = CD
⇒ OM = ON
In ∆OMN,
OM = ON
∠OMN = ∠ONM [Angles opposite to equal sides]

(c) 90o – (a – b
) (d) 180o – (a – b
) [Diksha]
2 2
Ans.(d) 180° – (a – b
)
2
Explanation: From figure
∠AOB = ∠DOC [Vertically opposite angles]
Here, ∠AOB = ∠DOC = b
Now, ∠ACB = 1
∠AOB
2
[Angle made by the same segment on the circumference is half of that made
on the centre]
So, ∠ACB = b
2
Now, DB is a straight line
∠ABO + a = 180o [Linear pair]
∠ABO = 180o – a
∠ACD = ∠ABO = 180o – a
[Chord AD is Common]
Now, ∠BCD = ∠ACB + ∠ACD
= b
+ 180o – a

sides of the equilateral triangle are equal and form congruent angles,
also we know that the angle in a semicircle is 90o.
Hence, the answer is false.

4. In a circle with centre O, if the angle subtended by minor arc AB at
the boundary of the circle is 30o, then the measure of ∠AOB will be
.............. .

Ans.60o
Explanation: As we know the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is
double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of
the circle.
Assertion and Reason (A-R)
In these questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a
statement of Reason (R).
Choose the correct option as:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the
correct explanation of assertion (A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the
correct explanation of assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
5. Assertion (A):AB is the diameter of a circle with centre O. P is a point on
the circumference of the circle. Such that PA = PB, then ∠PAB

Ans.(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the
correct explanation of assertion (A).
Explanation:
In ∆APB,
PA = PB [Given]
So, ∠PAB = ∠PBA [Angle of an isosceless triangle]
= x (say)
Now, angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
∠APB = 90° [AB is diameter]
o
So,∠PAB + ∠PBA + ∠APB = 180
x + x + 90o = 180o
x= 90o
= 45o

Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not
the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

(A) Find the measure of ∠BAC.
(B) Find the measure of ∠BOC.
(C) If AB = 8 cm, find the value of (BC + CA). [British Council 2022]
Ans.(A)In the figure, AB = BC = CA.
∴ ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle.
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = ∠BAC = 60º
(B)It is given that OB is the bisector of ∠ABC.
∴ ∠ABO = ∠OBC = 1 ∠ABC

Also, OC is the bisector of ∠ACB.
∴∠ACO = ∠OCB = 1 ∠ACB

In ∆OBC,
∠OBC + ∠OCB + ∠BOC = 180º [Angle sum property]
⇒ 30º + 30º + ∠BOC = 180º
⇒ ∠BOC = 180º − 60º = 120º
(C)∆ABC is an equilateral triangle.
AB = BC = CA
BC + CA = 8 + 8
Therefore BC + CA = 16 cm.

\ ∠y = ∠1 + ∠3...(i)
[Ext. angle = sum of int. opp. angle]
In ∆AED, side ED is produced to B.
\ ∠1 + ∠x = ∠4...(ii)
Add eqs. (i) and (ii), we have
∠1 + ∠x + ∠y
= ∠1 + ∠3 + ∠4
⇒ ∠x + ∠y = ∠3 + ∠4
= 2 ∠3
[ ∵ ∠4 = ∠3, angles in the same segment]
= ∠z[ ∵ ∠AOB = 2∠ACB]
∠x + ∠y = ∠z
Hence, proved.
