Chapter – 2 CIRCLES
Let's discuss the facts about circles which already we have learned .
point in a plane .
The figure formed by joining an arc and radii through its ends is
called a sector .
If the central angle of a sector is 180 0 , the arc of that sector is called a semicircle .
Method 1.
The largest side of a right angled triangle is its hypotenuse . So the angle opposite to the
hypotenuse is the largest angle in a right angled triangle .The largest angle in a right angled
triangle is 90 0 . So we have to draw a triangle with a side 5 cm and sum of the angles on its
both ends is 90 0 , to get a right angled triangle . ( Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 0 )
Similarly we can draw so many right angled triangles by changing the angles on the ends of the
Using set square also we can draw a right angled triangle as shown in the figure.
Similarly by adjusting the set square we can draw so many right angled triangles .
The third vertices of all these triangle are the points on the circle whose diameter is the given
line .
Prove that the angle got by joining a point on a circle with the ends of a diameter is a right
AB is the diameter .
Join OP .
In APB
< BAP + < ABP + < APB = 180 0 ( Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 0 )
x + y + ( x + y ) = 180 0
If we join the ends of a diameter of a circle to a point on the circle , we get a right angle .
