  • Angles in Same Segment: Angles subtended by an arc in the same segment of a circle are equal.
  • Angle in a Semicircle: An angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle (90°).
  • Opposite Segment Angle Sum: The sum of angles subtended by a chord on opposite segments of a circle is 180°.
  • Central Angle Theorem: The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of a circle is twice the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining circumference.
  • Equal Chords & Central Angles: Arcs/chords of equal length subtend equal angles at the centre, and vice versa.
  • Perpendicular Bisector Property: The perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord, and the line joining the centre to the midpoint of a chord is perpendicular to it.

📝 Question:

Observe the angles shown in English letters and determine their values without using a protractor: *(Property used: Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.)

💡 Solution:

(i) Angle A:**

∠ A and 45°lie in the same segment of the circle. Thus, ∠ A = 45°.

(ii) Angles x and y:

x and y lie in the same segment as 33°. Therefore, x = 33°and y = 33°.

(iii) Angle p:

p lies in the same segment as 40°. Therefore, p = 40°.

(iv) Angles m and n:

Angle m corresponds to 72°and angle n corresponds to 57°in the same segments. Thus, m = 72°and n = 57°.

(v) Angles u and v:

Angle u corresponds to 87°and angle v corresponds to 93°in their respective segments. Thus, u = 87°and v = 93°.

📝 Question:

In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle whose diameter is PQ. Find the measures of ∠ PRQ and ∠ QPR (given ∠ PQR = 40°)

💡 Solution:

Since PQ is the diameter, ∠ PRQ is an angle in a semicircle. Therefore, ∠ PRQ = 90°.

  • In △ PQR, the sum of interior angles is 180°

📝 Question:

In the given figure, angles in the segment of circle PQXY are ∠ YPQ = 70°and ∠ YQP = 30°. Find the measurements of ∠ PYQ and ∠ PXQ

💡 Solution:

In △ PYQ, the sum of angles is 180°

∠ PYQ + ∠ YPQ + ∠ YQP = 180°∠ PYQ + 70°+ 30°= 180° ⇒ ∠ PYQ = 180°- 100°= 80°2. ∠ PXQ and ∠ PYQ are angles in the same segment formed by chord PQ

Question 3

In the given figure PQ PR and O…


📝 Question:

In the given figure, PQ = PR and O is the centre of the circle (where QR is the diameter). Find the three angles of triangle PQR

💡 Solution:

Since diameter QR subtends ∠ QPR on the circle, ∠ QPR = 90° (angle in a semicircle).

  • Given PQ = PR, △ PQR is an isosceles right triangle, so ∠ PQR = ∠ PRQ.
  • In △ PQR

∠ QPR + ∠ PQR + ∠ PRQ = 180° ⇒ 90°+ 2∠ PQR = 180° ⇒ ∠ PQR = ∠ PRQ = 45°The three angles are ∠ P = 90°, ∠ Q = 45°, ∠ R = 45°.

In △ ABC, AB = AC ⇒ ∠ ABC = ∠ ACB = 65°.

  • Sum of angles in △ ABC

∠ BAC + 65°+ 65°= 180° ⇒ ∠ BAC = 180°- 130°= 50°3. The angles subtended on opposite sides of chord BC sum to 180°
