EXERCISE 17 (A)
Question 1:
A chord of length 6 cm is drawn in a circle of radius 5 cm. Calculate its distance from the centre
of the circle.
Solution 1:
Let AB be the chord and O be the centre of the circle.
Let OC be the perpendicular drawn from O to AB.
We know, that the perpendicular to a chord, from the centre of a circle, bisects the chord.
AC = CB = 3 cm
In OCA,
OA2 = OC2 + AC2 (By Pythagoras theorem)
OC2 = (5)2 (3)2 = 16
OC = 4 cm
Question 2:
A chord of length 8 cm is drawn at a distance of 3 cm from the centre of a circle. Calculate the
radius of the circle.

Question 4:
A chord of length 24 cm is at a distance of 5 cm from the centre of the circle. Find the length of
the chord of the same circle which is at a distance of 12 cm from the centre.
Solution 4:
Let AB be the chord of length 24 cm and O be the centre of the circle.
AC = CB = 12 cm
In OCA,
5 12 169
2 2
OA 13 cm
radius of the circle = 13 cm
Let A'B' be new chord at a distance of 12 cm from the centre.
OA ' OC' A 'C'
2 2 2
A 'C' 13 12 25
2 2 2
A'C' 5cm
Hence, length of the new chord = 2 5 = 10 cm
Question 5:

OA = 34 cm. OB = 20 cm and OP = 16cm; find the length of AB.
Solution 5:
Top tutor.
______________________________________________________________________________
For the inner circle, BC is a chord and OP BC .

We know that the perpendicular to a chord, from the centre of a circle, bisects the chord.
BP = PC
By Pythagoras theorem,
OA2 OP2 BP2
BP 2 20 16 144
2 2
BP 12cm
For the outer circle, AD is the chord and OP AD .
We know that the perpendicular to a chord, from the centre of a circle, bisects the chord.
AP = PD
By Pythagoras Theorem,
OA2 = OP2 + AP2
=> AP2 = (34)2 (16)2 = 900
=> AP = 30 cm
AB = AP BP = 30 12 = 18 cm
Question 6:
O is the centre of a circle of radius 10 cm. P is any point in the circle such that OP = 6 cm. A is
the point travelling along the circumference. x is the distance from A to P. what are the least and
the greatest values of x in cm? what is the position of the points O, P and A at these values?
Solution 6:
The least value of x will be when A is on OP produced, i.e. O, P and A are collinear.
AP = OA - OP = 10 - 6 = 4 cm.
The maximum value of x will be when A is on PO produced, i.e. A, O and P are collinear.
AP = OA + OP = 10 + 6 = 16 cm.

16 cm respectively.

Question 8:
Two parallel chords are drawn in a circle of diameter 30.0 cm. The length of one chord is 24.0
cm and the distance between the two chords is 21.0 cm; find the length of another chord.
Solution 8:
Since the distance between the chords is greater than the radius of the circle (15 cm), so the
chords will be on the opposite sides of the centre.
Let O be the centre of the circle and AB and CD be the two parallel chords such that
AB = 24 cm.
Let length of CD be 2x cm.
Drop OE and OF perpendicular on AB and CD from the centre O.

Two circles intersect at P and Q. through P diameter PA and PB of the two circles are drawn.
Show that the points A, Q and B are collinear.
Solution 23:
Let O and O ' be the centres of two intersecting circle, where

Points of intersection are P and Q and PA and PB are their diameter respectively.
