CIRCLE

Introduction

circle

A circle is a set of points that are drawn equidistant from a point called “center”.

A circle has a closed two dimensional figure that is measured in terms of radius.

Circle separates the plane into two regions known as the exterior and the interior region.

Area of circle

The area of a circle is the region bounded by the circle in a two dimensional plane.

Area of the circle: πr^2 (πd^2/4)

Area of the sector of circle

(θ / 360°) × πr^2, if 'θ' is in degrees

Perimeter of circle

The circle’s perimeter is simply its boundry length or circumference.

The perimeter of the circle = 2πr (πd)

The standard value of π is considered as 3.1415.

Tangents of circle

A line that touches the circle at exactly one single point is known as the tangent to a circle.

For every point on a circle has a unique tangent passing through it.

In the below figure, PQ is a tangent that touches the circle at point A.

Secant of circle

A line that cuts a circle at two distict point on peripheri of circle is called a secant to circle.

A secant cuts the circles at two points that forming a chord of the circle.

Area of Segment of circle

The Area of a Segment is equal to the the area of a sector minus the triangular piece.

Area of Segment = ( θ × π/360 − sin(θ)/2 ) × r^2 (when θ is in degrees)

Important theorems related to circle

Theorem 1: “Two equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre of the circle".

Theorem 2: “The perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord if drawn from the centre of the circle.”

Theorem 3: “Equal chords of a circle are equidistant (equal distance) from the centre of the circle.”

Theorem 4: “Measure of angles subtended to any point on the circumference of the circle from the same arc is equal to half of the angle subtended at the center by the same arc.”

Theorem 5: “The opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.”

Area of Circle -EXERCISE

Q1:The radii of two circles are 8 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find the radius of the circle having area equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles.

Answer:
Let the radius of required circle is r cm.
Therefore πr^2 =πr1^2 +πr2^2
=>πr^2 =π6^2 +π8^2
=>r^2=100
=>r=10

Q2: The wheels of a car are of diameter 80 cm each. How many complete revolutions does each wheel make in 10 minutes when the car is traveling at a speed of 66 km per hour?

Answer: Given, radius (r) = 80/4 = 40cm

We know that
=> circumference = 2πr = 2π(40) = 80π
So, distance traveled in 1 revolution = 80π

Converting the speed into cm/min
=> (66 × 100000)/60 cm/min
=> 110000 cm/min

Distance traveled by car in the duration of 10 minutes
=> Speed x Time = 110000 x 10 = 1100000 cm
So, total number of complete revolution = 1100000/80π = 1100000 x 7/80 x 22 = 4375 cm

Q3: If a circular grass lawn of 35 m in radius has a path 7 m wide running around it on the outside, then find the area of the path .

Answer: Given, radius of circular grass lawn (r1) = 35 m, width of path = 7 m
So, the radius of circular grass lawn including path (r2) = 35 + 7 = 42 m

According to the question,
=> area of circular grass lawn = π(r1)² = 22/7 x 35 x 35 = 3850 m²
=> area of circular grass lawn including path = π(r2)² = 22/7 x 42 x 42 = 5544 m²

=> area of path = (area of circular grass lawn including path) - (area of circular grass lawn) = 5544 - 3850 = 1694 m²

So, the area of path is 1694 m².

Q4: A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle of radius r. Find its perimeter of regular hexagon in terms of r.

Answer:


Given, radius of circle = r
One side of the regular hexagon substend an angle of 60° at center A.

Consider a △ACD, which is formed by droping a perpendicular from center to side of hexagon.
Let, CD = x (CD = Half of CC`)
So, CC` = 2x (Side of hexagon)

In right angle triangle,
=> sin 30 = x/r
=> 1/2 = x/r
=> x = r/2

Therefore, CC` = 2(r/2) = r
So, the perimeter of hexagon = 6r

Q5: Find the area of the circle that can be inscribed in a square of side 6 cm.

Answer:

Given, side of square = 6 cm

According to the question
Diameter of the circle = Side of square = 6 cm

Q6: If the area of a semi-circular field is 15400 m², then find the perimeter of the field.

Answer: Given, area of semi-circular field (πr²/2) = 15400 m²
=> πr²/2 = 15400 => r² = 15400(2)(7)/(22) = 700 x 14 = 9800 => r = √9800 = √4900 x √2 = 70√2
=> perimeter of semi-circular feild = πr + 2r = r(π + 2) = 70√2(3.14 + 2) = 70√2 x 5.14 = 359.80√2 = 360√2 m
So, the perimeter of semi-circular feild is 360√2 m

Q7: The area of a circular ring formed by two concentric circles whose radii are 5.7 cm and 4.3 cm respectively is ..........

Answer: Given, inner radius (r1) = 4.3 cm, outer radius (r2) = 5.7 cm

According to the question
=> area of inner circle = π(r1)² = π(4.3)² = π(18.49) = 3.14 x 18.49 = 58.05 cm²
=> area of outer circle = π(r2)² = π(5.7)² = π(32.49) = 3.14 x 32.49 = 102.01 cm²

=> area of circular ring = (area of outer circle) - (area of inner circle) = 102.01 - 58.05 = 43.96 cm²

Q8: The sum of the areas of two circle, which touch each other externally, is 153 π . If the sum of their radii is 15, then find the ratio of the larger to the smaller radius.

Answer: Let, radius of the bigger circle is R and that of smaller circle is r. R+r=15 ⇒ R=15-r

According to the question
=> Sum of are of two circles = πR² + πr² = 153 π
=> π(R² + r²) = 153π

Replacing R with r in the above equation, we get
=> r² - 15r + 36 = 0
=> r² - 12r - 3r + 36 = 0
=> r(r - 12) -3(r - 12) = 0
=> (r - 3)(r - 12) = 0

So, the value of r is 3 and 12.
By taking r = 3, we get, R = 15 - 3 = 12

So, the ratio of the larger to the smaller radius = 12 / 3 = 4:1

Q9: In a circle of radius 14 cm, an arc subtends an angle of 45° at the centre, then find the area of the sector.

Answer: Given, radius (r) = 14 cm, angle (θ) = 45°

According to the question
=> Area of sector = θ/360 x πr²
=> Area of sector = 45/360 x 22/7 x 14 x 14
=> Area of sector = 1/8 x 22/7 x 14 x 14
=> Area of sector = 11 x 7 = 77 cm²

So, the area of the sector is 77 cm².

Q10: If the sum of the areas of two circles with radii R1 and R2 is equal to the area of a circle of radius R, then find relation between R,R1 and R2.

Answer: Area of circle with radius R1 = π(R1)²
Area of circle with radius R2 = π(R2)²
Area of circle with radius R = π(R)²

According to the question
=> (Area of circle with radius R1) + (Area of circle with radius R2) = Area of circle with radius R
=> π(R1)² + π(R2)² = π(R)²

=> (R1)² + (R2)² = (R)²

So, the relation between R, R1 and R2 is (R1)² + (R2)² = (R)².

Q11: Find the area of a circular path of uniform width d surrounding a circular region of radius r.

Answer: Given, Radius of a circular region of a circular path (inner circle) = r , Uniform width of a circular path = h
Radius of outer circle, R = radius of inner circle + width = r + h ----(i)

According to the question
=> Area of a circular path (A) = (Area of outer circle) - (Area of inner circle)
=> A = πR² - πr²
=> A = π(R² - r²)
=> A = π[(r + h)² - r²]
=> A = π[r² + h² + 2rh - r²]
=> A = π[r² - r² + h² + 2rh]
=> A = π[h² + 2rh]
=> A = πh(2r + h)

So, the area of a circular path is πh(2r + h)

Q12: Find the area of the square that can be inscribed in a circle of radius 8 cm.

Answer: Let ABCD be the square inscribed by the circle.
=> OA = OB = OC = OD

ABC is a right angled triangle, as OA=8,OB=8
=> AB = 8 + 8 = 16

According to Pythagoras theorem
=> Square of hypotenuse = Sum of squares of other two sides
=> AC² = AB² + BC²
=> AC² = AB² + AB² = 2AB² [AB = BC]
=> 16² = 2AB²
=> AB = 8√2

Therefore side of the square is 8√2.
So, area of square = (8√2)² = 64 x 2 = 128 cm²

=> Circumference of circle with diameter of 9 cm = 18π

=> Sum of circumference of circles = 19π + 9π = 56π

According to the question
=> Circumference of circles with radius r = Sum of circumference of two circles = 56π
=> 2πr = 56π
=> 2r = 56
=> r = 28 cm

So, the radius of circle with radius r is 28 cm.
