  2.    10 cm
  3.    13 cm
  4.    15 cm

AB And CD Are Two Parallel Chords Of A Circle Such That AB =...
Given AB and CD are two chords of a circles on opposite sides of the centre.
Construction: Draw perpendiculars OE and OF onto AB and CD respectively from centre O.
AE = EB = 5cm and CF = FD = 12 cm
[ Perpendicular drawn to a chord from center bisects the chord]
Given,
Distance between two chords = 17 cm
Let distance between O and F =x cm
And distance between O and E =(17x)cm
In ΔOEB,
OB2=OE2+EB2
[Pythagoras theorem]
=(17x)2+52---(1)
In ΔOFD,
OD2=OF2+FD2
[Pythagoras theorem]
=(x)2+122----------→(2)
But OB = OD ( radii of the same circle).
From 1 & 2,
(17x)2+52=(x)2+122
289+x234x+25=x2+144
34x=170
x=5
Subsitute x in equation (2);
OD2=(5)2+122=169
OD=13
∴ Radius of the circle is 13 cm.
Question 92. In the given circle, with AB as a diameter, find the value of x.
In The Given Circle, With AB As A diameter, Find The Value ...
  1.    50∘
  2.    40∘
  3.    30∘
  4.    60∘

D
In The Given Circle, With AB As A diameter, Find The Value ...
ADB=90[Angle in a semi-circle]
ABD=ACD=30[Angles in the same segment]
In ADB, we have
BAD+ADB+ABD=180(Sum of anglesof a triangleis180)
x+90+30=180
x=(180120)=60
Hence,x=60
Question 93. If  ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral with AB as the diameter of the circle and ACD=50, then BAD = ___.
  1.    70∘
  2.    80∘
  3.    50∘
  4.    40∘
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 40∘
:
D
If  ABCD Is A Cyclic Quadrilateral With AB As The diameter...Since an angle in a semicircle is a right angle, ACB=90.
But, BCD=ACD+ACB=50+90=140.
Consider the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD. Since opposite angles are supplementary,
BCD+DAB=180.
BAD=180140=40
Question 94. A line can be taken as a circle with infinite radius and a circle can be assumed to be a polygon with infinite sides.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    50∘
  4.    60∘

Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Draw an arcof smaller radius and join its ends at its centre. Now draw an arc of bigger radius and try to join its ends at its centre, now draw a straight line and try to join its ends at its centre we can see that it will meet its centre at infinity, so from this we can conclude that a line is a circle of infinite radius.

Take a triangle and add it to another triangle it will form a quadrilateral, add another triangle to this quadrilateral it will form a pentagon, keep adding triangles to this polygon at one point you will realize that a polygon with infinite sides will be a circle, with each side being infinitesimally small.
Question 95. ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. If BCD=100  and ABD=70, then find ADB.
ABCD Is A Cyclic Quadrilateral. If ∠BCD=100∘  And ∠AB...
  1.    30∘
  2.    40∘
  3.    50∘
  4.    60∘

Answer: Option A. -> 30∘
:
A
Given thatABCD is a cyclic quadilateral such thatBCD=100and ABD=70.
ABCD Is A Cyclic Quadrilateral. If ∠BCD=100∘  And ∠AB...
Since opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary,
DAB+DCB=180.
DAB=180DCB
=180100=80
Consider ADB,since sum of angles of a triangleis180, we have
ADB+DAB+ABD=180
i.e.,ADB+80+70=180
ADB=180150=30
Question 96. Circles that have the same centre but different radii are called as ____.
  1.    Co-interior circles
  2.    Concentric circles
  3.    Intersecting circles
  4.    Overlapping circles

Question 97. Which picture shows 180° of a circle?
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Concentric circles
:
B
180 of a circle is half of a circle (that is half of 360=180)
Which Picture Shows 180° Of A Circle?
The above image is half of a circle. That is 180 of a circle.
Question 98. If diameter of a circle is 18 cm, then the radius is ____ cm.
  1.    9 cm
  2.    36 cm
  3.    18×18 cm 
  4.    18 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 9 cm
:
A
We know that the radius of the circle is half of the diameter.
Therefore, if diameter is 18, then radius is half of 18, which is 9 cm.
Question 99. The perimeter of a semi-circle is ____.
  1.    Half of Radius
  2.    Half of Diameter
  3.    Half of Circumference
  4.    Twice of Circumference
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Half of Circumference
:
C
The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference.
Semi-circle is half of the circle and its circumference is half of a circle’s circumference.
Question 100. Diameter is the  ____  of a circle.
  1.    longest chord
  2.    shortest chord
  3.    radius
  4.    circumference
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> longest chord
:
A
Diameter is the longest chord of the circle. It divides the circle into exactly two halves.
