1. In a cyclic-trapezium, the non-parallel sides are equal and the diagonals are also equal.

Prove it.

Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 17 ex. 17(B) - 1Solution:

Let ABCD be the cyclic trapezium in which AB || DC, AC and BD are the diagonals.

Required to prove:

(i) AD = BC

(ii) AC = BD

Proof:

It’s seen that chord AD subtends ∠ABD and chord BC subtends ∠BDC at the circumference of the circle.

But, ∠ABD = ∠BDC [Alternate angles, as AB || DC with BD as the transversal]

So, Chord AD must be equal to chord BC

AD = BC

Now, in ∆ADC and ∆BCD

DC = DC [Common]

∠CAD = ∠CBD [Angles in the same segment are equal]

AD = BC [Proved above]

Hence, by SAS criterion of congruence

∆ADC ≅ ∆BCD

Therefore, by CPCT

AC = BD

2. In the following figure, AD is the diameter of the circle with centre O. Chords AB, BC and CD are equal. If ∠DEF = 110o, calculate:

(i) ∠AFE, (ii) ∠FAB.

Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 17 ex. 17(B) - 2

Solution:

Join AE, OB and OC.

(i) As AOD is the diameter

∠AED = 90o [Angle in a semi-circle is a right angle]

But, given ∠DEF = 110o

Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 17 ex. 17(B) - 3
So,

∠AEF = ∠DEF – ∠AED = 110o – 90o = 20o

(ii) Also given, Chord AB = Chord BC = Chord CD

So,

∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD [Equal chords subtends equal angles at the centre]

But,

∠AOB + ∠BOC + ∠COD = 180o [Since, AOD is a straight line]

Thus,

∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD = 60o

Now, in ∆OAB we have

OA = OB [Radii of same circle]

So, ∠OAB = ∠OBA [Angles opposite to equal sides]

But, by angle sum property of ∆OAB

∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180o – ∠AOB

= 180o – 60o

= 120o

Therefore, ∠OAB = ∠OBA = 60o

Now, in cyclic quadrilateral ADEF

∠DEF + ∠DAF = 180o

∠DAF = 180o – ∠DEF

= 180o – 110o

= 70o

Thus,

∠FAB = ∠DAF + ∠OAB

= 70o + 60o = 130o

3. If two sides of a cycli-quadrilateral are parallel; prove that:

(i) its other two sides are equal.

(ii) its diagonals are equal.

Solution:

Let ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AB || DC. AC and BD are its diagonals.

Required to prove:

Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 17 ex. 17(B) - 4(i) AD = BC

(ii) AC = BD

Proof:

(i) As AB || DC (given)

∠DCA = ∠CAB [Alternate angles]

Now, chord AD subtends ∠DCA and chord BC subtends ∠CAB at the circumference of the circle.

So,

∠DCA = ∠CAB

Hence, chord AD = chord BC or AD = BC.

(ii) Now, in ∆ABC and ∆ADB

AB = AB [Common]

∠ACB = ∠ADB [Angles in the same segment are equal]

BC = AD [Proved above]

Hence, by SAS criterion of congruence

∆ACB ≅ ∆ADB

Therefore, by CPCT

AC = BD

4. The given figure show a circle with centre O. Also, PQ = QR = RS and ∠PTS = 75°.

Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 17 ex. 17(B) - 5

Calculate:

(i) ∠POS,

(ii) ∠QOR,

Selina Solutions Concise Class 10 Maths Chapter 17 ex. 17(B) - 6(iii) ∠PQR.

Solution:

Join OP, OQ, OR and OS.

Given, PQ = QR = RS

So, ∠POQ = ∠QOR = ∠ROS [Equal chords subtends equal angles at the centre]

Arc PQRS subtends ∠POS at the centre and ∠PTS at the remaining part of the circle.

Thus,

∠POS = 2 x ∠PTS = 2 x 75o = 150o

∠POQ + ∠QOR + ∠ROS = 150o

∠POQ = ∠QOR = ∠ROS = 150o/ 3 = 50o

In ∆OPQ we have,

OP = OQ [Radii of the same circle]

So, ∠OPQ = ∠OQP [Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]

But, by angle sum property of ∆OPQ

∠OPQ + ∠OQP + ∠POQ = 180o

∠OPQ + ∠OQP + 50o = 180o

∠OPQ + ∠OQP = 130o

2 ∠OPQ = 130o

∠OPQ = ∠OPQ = 130o/ 2 = 65o

Similarly, we can prove that

In ∆OQR,

∠OQR = ∠ORQ = 65o

And in ∆ORS,

∠ORS = ∠OSR = 65o

Hence,

(i) ∠POS = 150o

(ii) ∠QOR = 50o and

(iii) ∠PQR = ∠PQO + ∠OQR = 65o + 65o = 130o

5. In the given figure, AB is a side of a regular six-sided polygon and AC is a side of a regular eight-sided polygon inscribed in the circle with centre O. calculate the sizes of:

(i) ∠AOB,

(ii) ∠ACB,

(iii) ∠ABC.

Solution:

(i) Arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle.

∠ACB = ½ ∠AOB

And as AB is the side of a regular hexagon, we have

∠AOB = 60o

(ii) Now,

∠ACB = ½ (60o) = 30o

(iii) Since AC is the side of a regular octagon,

∠AOC = 360o/ 8 = 45o

Again, arc AC subtends ∠AOC at the centre and ∠ABC at the remaining part of the circle.

∠ABC = ½ ∠AOC

∠ABC = 45o/ 2 = 22.5o
