Worksheet Class – X Circles

1. A point P is 26 cm away from the centre of a circle and the length of the tangent drawn from P to
the circle is 24 cm. Find the radius of the circle.
2. In two concentric circles, prove that all chords of the outer circle which touch the inner circle are of
equal length.
3.In the below figure the circle touches all the sides of a quadrilateral ABCD whose three sides are AB
= 6 cm, BC = 7 cm, CD = 4 cm. Find AD.
4.XP and XQ are tangents from X to the circle with O and R is a point on the circle. AB is a tangent
at R. Prove that XA + AR = XB + BR
5.Prove that the perpendicular at the point of contact to the tangent to a circle passes through the centre.
6.Prove that the angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is
supplementary to the angle subtended by the line - segment joining the points of contact at the centre.
7.PA and PB are the two tangents to a circle with centre O in which OP is equal to the diameter of the
circle. Prove that APB is an equilateral triangle.
8.Two tangents PA and PB are drawn to the circle with center O, such that APB = 1200. Prove that
OP = 2AP.
9.A circle is touching the side BC of ΔABC at P and is touching AB and AC when produced at Q and
R respectively. Prove that AQ = ½ (Perimeter of Δ ABC).
10. Prove that “If a line touches a circle and from the point of contact a chord is drawn, the angle which
this chord makes with the given line are equal respectively to the angles formed in the
corresponding alternate segments.”
11. A circle is inscribed in an  ABC having sides AB = 12 cm, BC = 8cm and AC = 10cm.
Find AD, BE and CF A
12. If AB, AC, PQ are tangents in below figure and AB = 5 cm, find the perimeter of
APQ
P Q
B C

13. From an external point P, two tangents PA and PB are drawn to the circle with centre O. Prove that
OP is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
14. 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.
15. In a right triangle ABC in which B = 90°, a circle is drawn with AB as diameter intersecting the
hypotenuse AC and P. Prove that the tangent to the circle at P bisects BC.
