| INTRODUCTIONIn class IX, we have studied that a circle is a collection of all points in a plane which are at a consdistance from a fixed point. The fixed point is called the centre and the constant distance is known aradius. We have also studied various terms related to a circle like chord, segment, sector, are etc. Nowshall study properties of a line touching a circle at one point.

RECALLCircleA circle is the locus of a point which moves in such a way that itis always at the constant distance from a fixed point in the plane.The fixed point O is called the centre of the circle. Theconstant distanceOA between the centre (O) and the movingpoint (A) is called theRadiusof the circle.

CircumferenceThe distance round the circle is called the circumference of thecircle.2 r = circumference of the circle

= Perimeter of the circle.= boundary of the circler is the radius of the circle.

ChordThe chord of a circle is a line segment joining any two points on

the circumference. AB is the chord of the circle with centre O.In fig. AB is the chord of the circle.

DiameterA line segment passing through the centre of the circle andhaving its end points on the circle is called diameter. If r is theradius of the circle then the diameter of the circle is twice theradius i.e., d = 2rAOB is a diameter of the circle whose centre is OAOB = OA + OB = r + r + 2r.

Arc of a circleIf P and Q be any two points on the circle then the circle isdivided into two pieces each of which is an arc. Now we denotethe arc from P to Q in counter clock-wise direction by andthe are from Q to P in clock-wise direction by .

Sector of a circleThe part of a circle bounded by two radii and arc is calledsector. In fig, the part of the plane region enclosed0 by andits bounding radii OA and OB is a sector of the circle withcentre O.

Segment of a circleLet PQ be a chord of a circle with centre O and radius r, then PQdivides the region enclosed by the circle into two parts. Eachpart is called a segment of the circle. The part containing theminor arc is called the minor segmentand the part containingthe major arc is called the major segment.

INTERSECTION OF A CIRCLE AND A LINEConsider a circle with centre O and radius r and a line PQ in a plane. We find that there are three diffepositions a line can take with respect to the circle as given below in fig.

(a) The line PQ does not intersect the circle.In fig. (a) the line PQ and the circle have no common point. In this case PQ is called a nintersecting line with respect to the circle.

(b) The line PQ intersect the circle in more than one point. In fig. (b), there are two common poinand B between the line PQ and the circle and we call line PQ as a secant of the circle.

(c) The line intersect the circle in a single point i.e. the line intersect the circle in only one poinfig. (c) you can verify that there is only one point A which is common to the line PQ in the gcircle. In this case the line is called a tangent to the circle.

SecantA secant is a straight line that cuts the circumference of the circle at two distinct (different) points i.e.circle and a line have two common points then the line is said to be secant to the circle.

TangentA tangent is a straight line that meets the circle at one and only one point. This point A is called poicontact or point of tangency in fig. (c).

Tangent as a limiting case of a secantIn the fig. the secant cuts the circle at A and B. If this secant is turned around the point A, keepinfixed then B moves on the circumference closer to A. In the limiting position, B coincides with A.secant becomes the tangent at A. Tangent to a circle is a secant when the two end points ocorresponding chord coincide.

In the fig. is a secant which cuts the circle at A and B. If the secant is moved parallel to itself afrom the centre, then the points A and B come closer and closer to each other. In the limiting posithey coincide into a single point at A, the secant becomes the tangent at A. Thus a tangent line islimiting case of a secant when the two points of intersection of the secant and a circle coincide withpoint A. i.e., the common point of the tangent and the circle is called the point of contact and the tanis said to touch the circle at the common point.

Note:The line containing the radius through the point of contact is called normal to the circle at the po

NUMBER OF TANGENTS TO ACIRCLE FROM A POINT

1. If a point A lies inside a circle, no line passing through A can bea tangent to the circle. i.e., No tangent can be drawn from the

point A.

2. If A lies on the circle, then one and only one tangent can be drawnto pass through A.i.e. Exactly one tangent can be drawn through A.

3. If A lies outside the circle then exactly two tangents can be drawn through A.In the fig., a secant ABC is drawn from a point A outside the circle, if thesecant is turned around A in the clockwise direction, in the limiting position,it becomes a tangent at T. Similarly if the secant is turned in the anti-clockwise direction, in the limiting position, it becomes a tangent at S. Thus

from a point A outside a circle only two tangents can be drawn. The points Sand T where the lines touch the circle are called the points of contact.

PROPERTIES OF TANGENT TO A CIRCLETheorem-1 :The tangent at any point of a circle and the radius through the point are perpendiculaeach other.Given : A circle with centre O.

Since Q is a point on tangent AB, other than thepoint P, so Q will lie outside the circle

OQ will intersect the circle at some point R.

OR < OQ OP < OQ

Thus, OP is shorter than any other line segmentjoining O to any point of AB.

Tangent at P intersects the circle at points P only.

Part is less than the whole.OR = OP = radius.

Of all line segments drawn from O to line AB, perpendicular is the shortest

Ex.1. A point A is 26 cm away from the centre of a circle and the length of tangent drawn from A to the circ24 cm. Find the radius of the circle.

Sol. Let O be the centre of the circle and let A be a point outside the circle such that OA = 26 cm.Let AT be the tangent to the circle.Then, AT = 24 cm. Join OT.

Since the radius through the point of contact is perpendicular tothe tangent, we have OTA = 90o. In right OTA, we haveOT2= OA2 AT2

= [(26)2 (24)2] = (26 + 24) (26 24) = 100.

OT = 100 = 10 cm.Hence, the radius of the circle is 10 cm.

Ex.2. In the given figure, ABC is right-angled at B, in which AB = 15 cm and BC = 8 cm. A circle wcentre O has been inscribed in ABC. Calculate the value of x, the radius of the inscribed circle.

Sol. Let the inscribed circle touch the sides AB, BC and CA at P, Q and R respectively. Applying Pythagtheorem on right ABC, we have

AC2

= AB2

+ BC2

= (15)2

+ (8)2

= (225 + 64) = 289

AC = 289 = 17 cm.

Clearly, OPBQ is a square.

[ OPB = 90o, PBQ = 90o, OQB = 90oand OP = OQ = x cm]

BP = BQ = x cm.

Since the tangents to a circle from an exterior point are equal in length, we have AR = AP and CR = C

Now, AR = AP = (AB BP) = (15 x) cmCR = CQ = (BC BQ) = (8 x) cm.AC = AR + CR 17 = (15 x) + (8 x) 2x = 6 x = 3.

Hence, the radius of the inscribed circle is 3 cm.Ex.3 If all the sides of a parallelogram touch a circle, show that the parallelogram is a rhombus.Sol. Let ABCD be a parallelogram whose sides AB, BC, CD and DA touch a circle at the points P, Q, R a

respectively.Since the lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal, we haveAP = AS, BP = BQ, CR = CQ and DR = DS. AB + CD = AP + BP + CR + DR

= AS + BQ + CQ + DS

= (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)= AD + BC

Now, AB + CD = AD + BC 2AB = 2BC [Opposite sides of a || gm are equal] AB = BC AB = BC = CD = AD.Hence, ABCD is a rhombus.

Ex.5 In two concentric circles, prove that a chord of larger circle which is tangent to smaller circle is bisectthe point of contact.

Sol. Let there be two concentric circles, each with centre O.

Let AB be a chord of larger circle touching the smaller circle at P. Join OP.Since OP is a radius of smaller circle and APB is a tangent to it at the point P, so OP AB.But the perpendicular from the centre to a chord, bisects the chord. AP = PBHence, AB is bisected at the point P.

Ex.6 Two concentric circles are of radii 13 cm and 5 cm. Find the length of the chord of the outer circle wtouches the inner circle.

Sol. Let O be the centre of the concentric circles and let AB be a chord of the outer circle, touching the icircle at P. Join OA and OP.Now, the radius through the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent. OP AB.

Since, the perpendicular from the centre to a chord, bisects the chord, AP = PB. Now, in right OPAhave OA = 13 cm and OP = 5 cm.OP2+ AP2= OA2 AP2= OA2 OP2= (132 52) = (169 25) = 144.

AP = 144 = 12 cm.AB = 2AP = (2 x 12) cm = 24 cm.Hence, the length of chord AB = 24 cm.

common tangent touching the circles at A and B. Prove that:

(i) T is the mid-point of AB

(ii) APB = 90o

(iii) If X and Y are centres of the two circles,show that the circle on AB as diameter touches the line XY.

Sol. (i) Since the two tangents to a circle from an external point are equal, we have

TA = TP and TB = TP.

TA = TB [Each equal to TP]

Hence, T bisects AB, i.e., T is the mid-point of AB.

(ii) TA = TP TAP = TPA

TB = TP TBP = TPB

TAP + TBP = TPA + TPB = APB

TAP + TBP = APB = 2 APB

2 APB = 180o [The sum of the s of a is 180o]

APB = 90o

(iii) Thus, P lies on the semi-circle with AB as diameter.

Hence, the circle on AD as diameter touches the line XY.

Ex.8 Two circles of radii 25 cm and 9cm touch each other externally. Find the length of the direct com

tangent.

Sol. Let the two circles with centres A and B and radii 25 cm and 9 cm respectively touch each oexternally at a point C.

Then, AB = AC + CB = (25 + 9) cm = 34 cm.

[Radius through point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent]

Draw, BL AP.

Then, PLBQ is a rectangle.

Now, LP = BQ = 9 cm and PQ = BL

AL = (AP LP) = (25 9) cm = 16 cm.

From right f ALB, we have

AB2= AL2+ BL2 BL2= AB2 AL2 = (34)2 (16)2 = (34 + 16) (34 16) = 900

BL = 900 = 30 cm.

PQ = BL = 30 cm.

Hence, the length of direct common tangent is 30 cm.

Also, QPR + RQP + PRQ = 180o [Sum of the s of a is 180o]

68o+ 2 PRQ = 180o

2 PRQ = (180o- 68o) = 112o

PRQ = 56o.

QOP = 2 PRQ = (2 x 56o) =112o. [Angle at the centre is double the angle on the cir

(ii) Since the radius through the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent, we have

Now, OQC + QOP + OPC + QCP = 360o [Sum of the s of a quad. Is 360o)

90o+ 112o + 90o + QCP = 360o.

QCP = (360o

If the sides of the triangle are 9 cm, 7 cm and 6 cm, find the radii of the circles.

Sol. Let AB = 9 cm, BC = 7 cm and CA = 6 cm.

Let x, y, z, be the radii of circles with centres A, B, C respectively.

Then, x + y = 9, y + z = 7 and z + x = 6.

Adding, we get 2(x + y + z) = 22 x + y + z = 11.

x = [(x + y + z) ( y + z)] = (11 7) cm = 4cm.

Similarly, y = (11 6) cm = 5 cm and z = (11 9) cm = 2 cm.

Hence, the radii of circles with centres A, B, C are 4 cm, 5cm and 2 cm respectively.

SYNOPSIS

If a circle and a line have no common point, then line is called a non-intersecting line with respect to

circle.

If a circle and a line have two common points or a line intersect a circle in two distinct points, then li

called secant to the circle.

If a line and a circle have only one point common, or a line intersect the circle in only one point, then

called tangent to the circle.

There is only one tangent at a point of the circle.

The common point of the tangent and the circle is called the point of contact. The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.

The line containing the radius through the point of contact of tangent is called the normal to the circ

the point.

There is no tangent to the circle passing through a point lying inside the circle.

There are exactly two tangents to a circle through a point lying outside the circle.

The length of the segment of the tangent from the external point and the point of contact with the circ

called the length of the tangent.

The lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
