CIRCLES
IMPORTANT TERMS, DEFINITIONS AND RESULTS
l

The collection of all the points in a plane, which are at a fixed distance from a fixed point in the plane, is called a circle. The fixed point is called the centre of the circle and the fixed distance is called the radius of the circle.

points P and Q in the given figure. You find that there are two pieces, one longer and the other smaller. The longer one is called the major arc PQ and the shorter one is called the minor arc PQ.

In the given figure, O is the centre and the length OP is the radius of the circle.

A circle divides the plane on which it lies into three parts. They are : (i) inside the circle, which is also called the interior of the circle; (ii) the circle and (iii) outside the circle, which is also called the exterior of the circle. The circle and its interior make up the circular region.

A chord of a circle is a line segment joining any two points on the circle. In the given figure PQ, RS and AOB are the chords of a circle.

A diameter is a chord of a circle passing through the centre of the circle. In the given figure, AOB is the diameter of the circle. A diameter is the longest chord of a circle. Diameter = 2 radius A piece of a circle between two points is called an arc. Look at the pieces of the circle between two

The length of the complete circle is called its circumference. The region between a chord and either of its arcs is called a segment of the circular region or simply a segment of the circle. You will find that there are two types of segments also, which are the major segment and the minor segment.

The region between an arc and the two radii, joining the centre to the end points of the arc is called a sector. Like segments, you find that the minor arc corresponds to the minor sector and the major arc corresponds to the major sector.

Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre. If the angles subtended by the chords of a circle at the centre are equal, then the chords are equal. The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord. The line drawn through the centre of a circle to bisect a chord is perpendicular to the chord. There is one and only one circle passing through three given non-collinear points.

l l

Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the centre (or centres). Chords equidistant from the centre of a circle are equal in length. The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle. Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal. Points which lie on the same circle are called concyclic points.

A quadrilateral is said to be a cyclic quadrilateral if there is a circle passing through all its four vertices. If a line segment joining two points subtends equal angles at two other points lying on the same side of the line containing the line segment, the four points lie on a circle (i.e., they are concyclic). The sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180. If the sum of a pair of opposite angles of a quadrilateral is 180, the quadrilateral is cyclic.

Observations : 1. In figure 2, APB is a semicircle. So, APB is an angle in a semicircle. 2. In figure 4, we see that PB and PA fall along XY. Or APB + APB = a straight angle = 180 2APB = 180 APB = 90 Hence, angle in a semicircle is a right angle. 3. In figure 7, APB is an angle formed in the major segment of a circle. 4. In figure 8, we see that the side PB of APB lies to the right of XY of XYZ, ie, APB is less than a right angle, or PB is acute. Hence, the angle in a major segment is acute. 5. In figure 11, APB is an angle formed in the minor segment of a circle. 6. In figure 12, we see that the side PB of PAB lies to the left of XY of XYZ ie, APB is greater than XYZ or APB is obtuse.

Observations : 1. In figure 2, P, Q, R and S are the four angles of the cyclic quadrilateral PQRS. 2. In figure 3(a), we see that R and P form a straight angle and in figure 3(b), Q and S form a straight angle. So, P + R = 180 and Q + S = 180. Hence, the sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180. 3. In figure 5, PSR is the angle opposite to the exterior angle RQT. 4. In figure 6, we see that PSR completely covers TQR. Hence, in a cyclic quadrilateral the exterior angle is equal to the interior opposite angle. Conclusion : From the above activity, it is verified that (a) the sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180. (b) in a cyclic quadrilateral, the exterior angle is equal to the interior opposite angle.
