Chapter – 2 CIRCLES
Let's discuss the facts about circles which already we have learned .

Circle is a collection of points which are equidistant from a fixed

point in a plane .

This fixed point is known as the centre of the circle .

The distance between the centre of the circle and a point on it is

called its radius .

The radii of a same circle are equal .

Twice of the radius is the diameter .

A line joining any two points on a circle is called a chord .

The largest chord of a circle is its diameter .

A part of a circle is called an arc .

The angle formed by joining the ends of a chord to the centre of

the circle is called the central angle of the chord .

The figure formed by joining an arc and radii through its ends is

called a sector .

Arc length and area of a sector is determined by its central angle .

If the central angle of a sector is 180 0 , the arc of that sector is called a semicircle .

Area of the circle =

Perimeter of the circle =

Activity

Draw a right angled triangle of hypotenuse 5 cm .

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

line such that their sum is 90 0 .

Method 2.

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 .

We can draw the triangles at the bottom of the line also .

Let's draw a circle with this line as diameter .

The third vertices of all these triangle are the points on the circle whose diameter is the given

line .

Why do all these points lie on a circle ? . Let's discuss

Prove that the angle got by joining a point on a circle with the ends of a diameter is a right

angle ? ( We discussed it in class 8 )

In the figure O is the centre and P is a point on the circle and

AB is the diameter .

Join OP .

OA = OB = OP ( Radii of a same circle are equal )

Triangle AOP is an isosceles triangle . ( OA = OP )

So < OAP = <OPA = x 0

Triangle BOP is an isosceles triangle . ( OB = OP )

So < OBP = <OPB =y 0

In APB

< BAP + < ABP + < APB = 180 0 ( Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 0 )

x + y + ( x + y ) = 180 0

2 x + 2 y = 180 0 ===> x + y = 18 0 = 900


2
< APB = x + y = 900

Findings

If we join the ends of a diameter of a circle to a point on the circle , we get a right angle .
Conclusion

Angle in a semicircle is right
