INTRODUCTION TO TRIGONOMETRY 189 Example 9 : Evaluate tan 65° . cot 25° Solution : We know : cot A = tan (90° – A) So, cot 25° = tan (90° – 25°) = tan 65° i.e., tan 65° = tan 65° = 1 cot 25° tan 65° Example 10 : If sin 3A = cos (A – 26°), where 3A is an acute angle, find the value of A. Solution : We are given that sin 3A = cos (A – 26°). (1) Since sin 3A = cos (90° – 3A), we can write (1) as cos (90° – 3A) = cos (A – 26°) Since 90° – 3A and A – 26° are both acute angles, therefore, 90° – 3A = A – 26° which gives A = 29° Example 11 : Express cot 85° + cos 75° in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between 0° and 45°. Solution : cot 85° + cos 75° = cot (90° – 5°) + cos (90° – 15°) = tan 5° + sin 15° EXERCISE 8.3 1.

Express sin 67° + cos 75° in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between 0° and 45°. 8.5 Trigonometric Identities Fig. 8.22 (1) You may recall that an equation is called an identity when it is true for all values of the variables involved. (2) Similarly, an equation involving trigonometric ratios of an angle is called a trigonometric identity, if it is true for all values of the angle(s) involved. In this section, we will prove one trigonometric identity, and use it further to prove other useful trigonometric identities. In ∆ ABC, right-angled at B (see Fig. 8.22), we have: AB2 + BC2 = AC2 Dividing each term of (1) by AC2, we get AB2 + BC2 = AC2 AC2 AC2 AC2 i.e., AB 2 + BC 2 = AC 2 AC AC AC i.e., (cos A)2 + (sin A)2 = 1 i.e., cos2 A + sin2 A = 1 This is true for all A such that 0° ≤ A ≤ 90°. So, this is a trigonometric identity. Let us now divide (1) by AB2. We get AB2 BC2 AC2 + = AB2 AB2 AB2 AB 2 BC 2 AC 2 or, AB + AB = AB i.e., 1 + tan2 A = sec2 A (3) 2019-20
INTRODUCTION TO TRIGONOMETRY 191 Is this equation true for A = 0°? Yes, it is. What about A = 90°? Well, tan A and sec A are not defined for A = 90°. So, (3) is true for all A such that 0° ≤ A < 90°. Let us see what we get on dividing (1) by BC2. We get AB2 + BC2 = AC2 BC2 BC2 BC2 AB 2 BC 2 AC 2 i.e., BC + BC = BC i.e., cot2 A + 1 = cosec2 A (4) Note that cosec A and cot A are not defined for A = 0°. Therefore (4) is true for all A such that 0° < A ≤ 90°. Using these identities, we can express each trigonometric ratio in terms of other trigonometric ratios, i.e., if any one of the ratios is known, we can also determine the values of other trigonometric ratios. Let us see how we can do this using these identities. Suppose we know that tan A = 1⋅ Then, cot A = 3. 3 Since, sec2 A = 1 + tan2 A = 1 + 1 = 4 , sec A = 2 3⋅ , and cos A = 33 3 2 Again, sin A = 1− cos2 A = 1 − 3 = 1 . Therefore, cosec A = 2. 42 Example 12 : Express the ratios cos A, tan A and sec A in terms of sin A. Solution : Since cos2 A + sin2 A = 1, therefore, cos2 A = 1 – sin2 A, i.e., cos A = ± 1 − sin2 A This gives cos A = 1 − sin2 A (Why?) Hence, tan A = sin A = sin A and sec A = 1 = 1 1 − sin2 A cos A 1 – sin2 A cos A 2019-20
192 MATHEMATICS Example 13 : Prove that sec A (1 – sin A)(sec A + tan A) = 1. Solution : LHS = sec A (1 – sin A)(sec A + tan A) = 1 1 + sin A (1 − sin A) cos A cos A cos A (1 −sin A) (1 + sin A) 1 − sin2 A = = cos2 A cos2 A cos2 A = cos2 A = 1 = RHS Example 14 : Prove that cot A – cos A = cosec A – 1 cot A + cos A cosec A + 1 cot A – cos A cos A − cos A cot A + cos A sin A Solution : LHS = = cos A + cos A sin A 1 1 cos A −1 − 1 sin A = sin A = cosec A – 1 = = RHS 1 1 cosec A + 1 cos A + 1 + 1 sin A sin A Example 15 : Prove that sin θ −cos θ + 1 = 1 , using the identity sin θ + cos θ − 1 sec θ − tan θ sec2 θ = 1 + tan2 θ. Solution : Since we will apply the identity involving sec θ and tan θ, let us first convert the LHS (of the identity we need to prove) in terms of sec θ and tan θ by dividing numerator and denominator by cos θ. LHS = sin θ – cos θ + 1 = tan θ − 1 + sec θ sin θ + cos θ – 1 tan θ + 1 − sec θ = (tan θ + sec θ) − 1 = {(tan θ + sec θ) − 1} (tan θ − sec θ) (tan θ − sec θ) + 1 {(tan θ − sec θ) + 1} (tan θ − sec θ) 2019-20

SOME APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY 195 SOME APPLICATIONS OF 9TRIGONOMETRY 9.1 Introduction In the previous chapter, you have studied about trigonometric ratios. In this chapter, you will be studying about some ways in which trigonometry is used in the life around you. Trigonometry is one of the most ancient subjects studied by scholars all over the world. As we have said in Chapter 8, trigonometry was invented because its need arose in astronomy. Since then the astronomers have used it, for instance, to calculate distances from the Earth to the planets and stars. Trigonometry is also used in geography and in navigation. The knowledge of trigonometry is used to construct maps, determine the position of an island in relation to the longitudes and latitudes. Surveyors have used trigonometry for centuries. One such large surveying project of the nineteenth century was the ‘Great Trigonometric Survey’ of British India for which the two largest-ever theodolites were built. During the survey in 1852, the highest mountain in the world was discovered. From a distance of over 160 km, the peak was observed from six different stations. In 1856, this peak was named after Sir George Everest, who had A Theodolite commissioned and first used the giant (Surveying instrument, which is based theodolites (see the figure alongside). The on the Principles of trigonometry, is theodolites are now on display in the used for measuring angles with a Museum of the Survey of India in rotating telescope) Dehradun. 2019-20
196 MATHEMATICS In this chapter, we will see how trigonometry is used for finding the heights and distances of various objects, without actually measuring them. 9.2 Heights and Distances Let us consider Fig. 8.1 of prvious chapter, which is redrawn below in Fig. 9.1. Fig. 9.1 In this figure, the line AC drawn from the eye of the student to the top of the minar is called the line of sight. The student is looking at the top of the minar. The angle BAC, so formed by the line of sight with the horizontal, is called the angle of elevation of the top of the minar from the eye of the student. Thus, the line of sight is the line drawn from the eye of an observer to the point in the object viewed by the observer. The angle of elevation of the point viewed is the angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal when the point being viewed is above the horizontal level, i.e., the case when we raise our head to look at the object (see Fig. 9.2). Fig. 9.2 2019-20
SOME APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY 197 Now, consider the situation given in Fig. 8.2. The girl sitting on the balcony is looking down at a flower pot placed on a stair of the temple. In this case, the line of sight is below the horizontal level. The angle so formed by the line of sight with the horizontal is called the angle of depression. Thus, the angle of depression of a point on the object being viewed is the angle formed by the line of sight with the horizontal when the point is below the horizontal level, i.e., the case when we lower our head to look at the point being viewed (see Fig. 9.3). Fig. 9.3 Now, you may identify the lines of sight, and the angles so formed in Fig. 8.3. Are they angles of elevation or angles of depression? Let us refer to Fig. 9.1 again. If you want to find the height CD of the minar without actually measuring it, what information do you need? You would need to know the following: (i) the distance DE at which the student is standing from the foot of the minar (ii) the angle of elevation, ∠ BAC, of the top of the minar (iii) the height AE of the student. Assuming that the above three conditions are known, how can we determine the height of the minar? In the figure, CD = CB + BD. Here, BD = AE, which is the height of the student. To find BC, we will use trigonometric ratios of ∠ BAC or ∠ A. In ∆ ABC, the side BC is the opposite side in relation to the known ∠ A. Now, which of the trigonometric ratios can we use? Which one of them has the two values that we have and the one we need to determine? Our search narrows down to using either tan A or cot A, as these ratios involve AB and BC. 2019-20
198 MATHEMATICS Therefore, tan A = BC or cot A = AB , which on solving would give us BC. AB BC By adding AE to BC, you will get the height of the minar. Now let us explain the process, we have just discussed, by solving some problems. Example 1 : A tower stands vertically on the ground. From a point on the ground, which is 15 m away from the foot of the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is found to be 60°. Find the height of the tower. Solution : First let us draw a simple diagram to represent the problem (see Fig. 9.4). Here AB represents the tower, CB is the distance of the point from the tower and ∠ ACB is the angle of elevation. We need to determine the height of the tower, i.e., AB. Also, ACB is a triangle, right-angled at B. To solve the problem, we choose the trigonometric ratio tan 60° (or cot 60°), as the ratio involves AB and BC. Now, AB tan 60° = BC i.e., 3 = AB Fig. 9.4 15 i.e., AB = 15 3 Hence, the height of the tower is 15 3 m. Example 2 : An electrician has to repair an electric Fig. 9.5 fault on a pole of height 5 m. She needs to reach a point 1.3m below the top of the pole to undertake the repair work (see Fig. 9.5). What should be the length of the ladder that she should use which, when inclined at an angle of 60° to the horizontal, would enable her to reach the required position? Also, how far from the foot of the pole should she place the foot of the ladder? (You may take 3 = 1.73) 2019-20
SOME APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY 199 Solution : In Fig. 9.5, the electrician is required to reach the point B on the pole AD. So, BD = AD – AB = (5 – 1.3)m = 3.7 m. Here, BC represents the ladder. We need to find its length, i.e., the hypotenuse of the right triangle BDC. Now, can you think which trigonometic ratio should we consider? It should be sin 60°. BD 3.7 3 So, BC = sin 60° or BC = 2 Therefore, BC = 3.7 × 2 = 4.28 m (approx.) 3 i.e., the length of the ladder should be 4.28 m. DC 1 Now, = cot 60° = BD 3 3.7 i.e., DC = 3 = 2.14 m (approx.) Therefore, she should place the foot of the ladder at a distance of 2.14 m from the pole. Example 3 : An observer 1.5 m tall is 28.5 m away from a chimney. The angle of elevation of the top of the chimney from her eyes is 45°. What is the height of the chimney? Solution : Here, AB is the chimney, CD the observer and ∠ ADE the angle of elevation (see Fig. 9.6). In this case, ADE is a triangle, right-angled at E and we are required to find the height of the chimney. We have AB = AE + BE = AE + 1.5 Fig. 9.6 and DE = CB = 28.5 m To determine AE, we choose a trigonometric ratio, which involves both AE and DE. Let us choose the tangent of the angle of elevation. 2019-20
200 MATHEMATICS Now, AE tan 45° = DE AE i.e., 1 = 28.5 Therefore, AE = 28.5 So the height of the chimney (AB) = (28.5 + 1.5) m = 30 m. Example 4 : From a point P on the ground the angle of elevation of the top of a 10 m tall building is 30°. A flag is hoisted at the top of the building and the angle of elevation of the top of the flagstaff from P is 45°. Find the length of the flagstaff and the distance of the building from the point P. (You may take 3 = 1.732) Solution : In Fig. 9.7, AB denotes the height of the building, BD the flagstaff and P the given point. Note that there are two right triangles PAB and PAD. We are required to find the length of the flagstaff, i.e., DB and the distance of the building from the point P, i.e., PA. Since, we know the height of the building AB, we will first consider the right ∆ PAB. We have AB tan 30° = AP 1 10 i.e., 3 = AP Therefore, AP = 10 3 Fig. 9.7 i.e., the distance of the building from P is 10 3 m = 17.32 m. Next, let us suppose DB = x m. Then AD = (10 + x) m. Now, in right ∆ PAD, tan 45° = AD = 10 + x Therefore, AP 10 3 10 + x 1= 10 3 2019-20
SOME APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY 201 ( )i.e., x = 10 3 − 1 = 7.32 So, the length of the flagstaff is 7.32 m. Example 5 : The shadow of a tower standing Fig. 9.8 on a level ground is found to be 40 m longer when the Sun’s altitude is 30° than when it is 60°. Find the height of the tower. Solution : In Fig. 9.8, AB is the tower and BC is the length of the shadow when the Sun’s altitude is 60°, i.e., the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from the tip of the shadow is 60° and DB is the length of the shadow, when the angle of elevation is 30°. Now, let AB be h m and BC be x m. According to the question, DB is 40 m longer than BC. So, DB = (40 + x) m Now, we have two right triangles ABC and ABD. In ∆ ABC, AB tan 60° = BC or, h (1) In ∆ ABD, 3= x AB tan 30° = BD 1h (2) i.e., 3 = x + 40 From (1), we have h= x 3 ( )Putting this value in (2), we get x 3 3 = x + 40, i.e., 3x = x + 40 i.e., x = 20 So, h = 20 3 [From (1)] Therefore, the height of the tower is 20 3 m. 2019-20
202 MATHEMATICS Example 6 : The angles of depression of the top and the bottom of an 8 m tall building from the top of a multi-storeyed building are 30° and 45°, respectively. Find the height of the multi-storeyed building and the distance between the two buildings. Solution : In Fig. 9.9, PC denotes the multi- storyed building and AB denotes the 8 m tall building. We are interested to determine the height of the multi-storeyed building, i.e., PC and the distance between the two buildings, i.e., AC. Look at the figure carefully. Observe that Fig. 9.9 PB is a transversal to the parallel lines PQ and BD. Therefore, ∠ QPB and ∠ PBD are alternate angles, and so are equal. So ∠ PBD = 30°. Similarly, ∠ PAC = 45°. In right ∆ PBD, we have PD 1 or BD = PD 3 = tan 30° = 3 BD In right ∆ PAC, we have i.e., PC Also, = tan 45° = 1 AC PC = AC PC = PD + DC, therefore, PD + DC = AC. Since, AC = BD and DC = AB = 8 m, we get PD + 8 = BD = PD 3 (Why?) This gives PD = 8= 8( 3+ 1) 1) = 4 ( )3 + 1 m. 3 −1 ( 3+ 1) ( 3− { ( ) } ( )So, the height of the multi-storeyed building is 4 3 + 1 + 8 m = 4 3 + 3 m ( )and the distance between the two buildings is also 4 3 + 3 m. Example 7 : From a point on a bridge across a river, the angles of depression of the banks on opposite sides of the river are 30° and 45°, respectively. If the bridge is at a height of 3 m from the banks, find the width of the river. 2019-20
SOME APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY 203 Solution : In Fig 9.10, A and B Fig. 9.10 represent points on the bank on opposite sides of the river, so that AB is the width of the river. P is a point on the bridge at a height of 3 m, i.e., DP = 3 m. We are interested to determine the width of the river, which is the length of the side AB of the ∆ APB. Now, AB = AD + DB In right ∆ APD, ∠ A = 30°. PD So, tan 30° = AD 13 i.e., 3 = AD or AD = 3 3 m Also, in right ∆ PBD, ∠ B = 45°. So, BD = PD = 3 m. Now, AB = BD + AD = 3 + 3 3 = 3 (1 + 3 ) m. ( )Therefore, the width of the river is 3 3 + 1 m . EXERCISE 9.1 1. A circus artist is climbing a 20 m long rope, which is tightly stretched and tied from the top of a vertical pole to the ground.

206 MATHEMATICS 10CIRCLES 10.1 Introduction You have studied in Class IX that a circle is a collection of all points in a plane which are at a constant distance (radius) from a fixed point (centre). You have also studied various terms related to a circle like chord, segment, sector, arc etc. Let us now examine the different situations that can arise when a circle and a line are given in a plane. So, let us consider a circle and a line PQ. There can be three possibilities given in Fig. 10.1 below: Fig. 10.1 In Fig. 10.1 (i), the line PQ and the circle have no common point. In this case, PQ is called a non-intersecting line with respect to the circle. In Fig. 10.1 (ii), there are two common points A and B that the line PQ and the circle have. In this case, we call the line PQ a secant of the circle. In Fig. 10.1 (iii), there is only one point A which is common to the line PQ and the circle. In this case, the line is called a tangent to the circle. 2019-20
CIRCLES 207 You might have seen a pulley fitted over a well which is used Fig. 10.2 in taking out water from the well. Look at Fig. 10.2. Here the rope on both sides of the pulley, if considered as a ray, is like a tangent to the circle representing the pulley. Is there any position of the line with respect to the circle other than the types given above? You can see that there cannot be any other type of position of the line with respect to the circle. In this chapter, we will study about the existence of the tangents to a circle and also study some of their properties. 10.2 Tangent to a Circle In the previous section, you have seen that a tangent* to a circle is a line that intersects the circle at only one point. To understand the existence of the tangent to a circle at a point, let us perform the following activities: Activity 1 : Take a circular wire and attach a straight wire AB at a point P of the circular wire so that it can rotate about the point P in a plane. Put the system on a table and gently rotate the wire AB about the point P to get different positions of the straight wire [see Fig. 10.3(i)]. In various positions, the wire intersects the circular wire at P and at another point Q1 or Q2 or Q3, etc. In one position, you will see that it will intersect the circle at the point P only (see position A′B′ of AB). This shows that a tangent exists at the point P of the circle. On rotating further, you can observe that in all other positions of AB, it will intersect the circle at P and at another point, say R1 Fig. 10.3 (i) or R2 or R3, etc. So, you can observe that there is only one tangent at a point of the circle. While doing activity above, you must have observed that as the position AB moves towards the position A′ B′, the common point, say Q1, of the line AB and the circle gradually comes nearer and nearer to the common point P. Ultimately, it coincides with the point P in the position A′B′ of A′′B′′. Again note, what happens if ‘AB’ is rotated rightwards about P? The common point R3 gradually comes nearer and nearer to P and ultimately coincides with P. So, what we see is: The tangent to a circle is a special case of the secant, when the two end points of its corresponding chord coincide. *The word ‘tangent’ comes from the Latin word ‘tangere’, which means to touch and was introduced by the Danish mathematician Thomas Fineke in 1583. 2019-20
208 MATHEMATICS Activity 2 : On a paper, draw a circle and a Fig. 10.3 (ii) secant PQ of the circle. Draw various lines parallel to the secant on both sides of it. You will find that after some steps, the length of the chord cut by the lines will gradually decrease, i.e., the two points of intersection of the line and the circle are coming closer and closer [see Fig. 10.3(ii)]. In one case, it becomes zero on one side of the secant and in another case, it becomes zero on the other side of the secant. See the positions P′Q′ and P′′Q′′ of the secant in Fig. 10.3 (ii). These are the tangents to the circle parallel to the given secant PQ. This also helps you to see that there cannot be more than two tangents parallel to a given secant. This activity also establishes, what you must have observed, while doing Activity 1, namely, a tangent is the secant when both of the end points of the corresponding chord coincide. The common point of the tangent and the circle is called the point of contact [the point A in Fig. 10.1 (iii)]and the tangent is said to touch the circle at the common point. Now look around you. Have you seen a bicycle Fig. 10.4 or a cart moving? Look at its wheels. All the spokes of a wheel are along its radii. Now note the position of the wheel with respect to its movement on the ground. Do you see any tangent anywhere? (See Fig. 10.4). In fact, the wheel moves along a line which is a tangent to the circle representing the wheel. Also, notice that in all positions, the radius through the point of contact with the ground appears to be at right angles to the tangent (see Fig. 10.4). We shall now prove this property of the tangent. Theorem 10.1 : The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact. Proof : We are given a circle with centre O and a tangent XY to the circle at a point P. We need to prove that OP is perpendicular to XY. 2019-20
CIRCLES 209 Take a point Q on XY other than P and join OQ (see Fig. 10.5). The point Q must lie outside the circle. (Why? Note that if Q lies inside the circle, XY will become a secant and not a tangent to the circle). Therefore, OQ is longer than the radius OP of the circle. That is, OQ > OP. Since this happens for every point on the Fig. 10.5 line XY except the point P, OP is the shortest of all the distances of the point O to the points of XY. So OP is perpendicular to XY. (as shown in Theorem A1.7.) Remarks : 1. By theorem above, we can also conclude that at any point on a circle there can be one and only one tangent. 2. The line containing the radius through the point of contact is also sometimes called the ‘normal’ to the circle at the point. EXERCISE 10.1 1. How many tangents can a circle have? 2. Fill in the blanks : (i) A tangent to a circle intersects it in point (s). (ii) A line intersecting a circle in two points is called a . (iii) A circle can have parallel tangents at the most. (iv) The common point of a tangent to a circle and the circle is called . 3. A tangent PQ at a point P of a circle of radius 5 cm meets a line through the centre O at a point Q so that OQ = 12 cm. Length PQ is : (A) 12 cm (B) 13 cm (C) 8.5 cm (D) 119 cm. 4. Draw a circle and two lines parallel to a given line such that one is a tangent and the other, a secant to the circle. 10.3 Number of Tangents from a Point on a Circle To get an idea of the number of tangents from a point on a circle, let us perform the following activity: 2019-20
210 MATHEMATICS Activity 3 : Draw a circle on a paper. Take a point P inside it. Can you draw a tangent to the circle through this point? You will find that all the lines through this point intersect the circle in two points. So, it is not possible to draw any tangent to a circle through a point inside it [see Fig. 10.6 (i)]. Next take a point P on the circle and draw (i) tangents through this point. You have already observed that there is only one tangent to the circle at such a point [see Fig. 10.6 (ii)]. Finally, take a point P outside the circle and try to draw tangents to the circle from this point. What do you observe? You will find that you can draw exactly two tangents to the circle through this point [see Fig. 10.6 (iii)]. We can summarise these facts as follows: Case 1 : There is no tangent to a circle passing (ii) through a point lying inside the circle. Case 2 : There is one and only one tangent to a circle passing through a point lying on the circle. Case 3 : There are exactly two tangents to a circle through a point lying outside the circle. In Fig. 10.6 (iii), T1and T2 are the points of contact of the tangents PT1 and PT2 respectively. The length of the segment of the tangent (iii) from the external point P and the point of contact Fig. 10.6 with the circle is called the length of the tangent from the point P to the circle. Note that in Fig. 10.6 (iii), PT1 and PT2 are the lengths of the tangents from P to the circle. The lengths PT1 and PT2 have a common property. Can you find this? Measure PT1 and PT2. Are these equal? In fact, this is always so. Let us give a proof of this fact in the following theorem. 2019-20
CIRCLES 211 Theorem 10.2 : The lengths of tangents drawn Fig. 10.7 from an external point to a circle are equal. (Radii of the same circle) Proof : We are given a circle with centre O, a (Common) point P lying outside the circle and two tangents (RHS) PQ, PR on the circle from P (see Fig. 10.7). We are required to prove that PQ = PR. (CPCT) For this, we join OP, OQ and OR. Then ∠ OQP and ∠ ORP are right angles, because these are angles between the radii and tangents, and according to Theorem 10.1 they are right angles. Now in right triangles OQP and ORP, OQ = OR OP = OP Therefore, ∆ OQP ≅ ∆ ORP This gives PQ = PR Remarks : 1. The theorem can also be proved by using the Pythagoras Theorem as follows: PQ2 = OP2 – OQ2 = OP2 – OR2 = PR2 (As OQ = OR) which gives PQ = PR. 2. Note also that ∠ OPQ = ∠ OPR. Therefore, OP is the angle bisector of ∠ QPR, i.e., the centre lies on the bisector of the angle between the two tangents. Let us take some examples. Example 1 : Prove that in two concentric circles, Fig. 10.8 the chord of the larger circle, which touches the smaller circle, is bisected at the point of contact. Solution : We are given two concentric circles C and C with centre O and a chord AB of the 12 larger circle C1 which touches the smaller circle C2 at the point P (see Fig. 10.8). We need to prove that AP = BP. Let us join OP. Then, AB is a tangent to C2 at P and OP is its radius. Therefore, by Theorem 10.1, OP ⊥ AB 2019-20
212 MATHEMATICS Now AB is a chord of the circle C1 and OP ⊥ AB. Therefore, OP is the bisector of the chord AB, as the perpendicular from the centre bisects the chord, i.e., AP = BP Example 2 : Two tangents TP and TQ are drawn to a circle with centre O from an external point T. Prove that ∠ PTQ = 2 ∠ OPQ. Solution : We are given a circle with centre O, an external point T and two tangents TP and TQ to the circle, where P, Q are the points of contact (see Fig. 10.9). We need to prove that ∠ PTQ = 2 ∠ OPQ Fig. 10.9 Let ∠ PTQ = θ Now, by Theorem 10.2, TP = TQ. So, TPQ is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, ∠ TPQ = ∠ TQP = 1 (180° − θ) = 90° − 1 θ 22 Also, by Theorem 10.1, ∠ OPT = 90° So, ∠ OPQ = ∠ OPT – ∠ TPQ = 1 90° − 90° – 2 θ = 1 θ = 1 ∠ PTQ 22 This gives ∠ PTQ = 2 ∠ OPQ Example 3 : PQ is a chord of length 8 cm of a Fig. 10.10 circle of radius 5 cm. The tangents at P and Q intersect at a point T (see Fig. 10.10). Find the length TP. Solution : Join OT. Let it intersect PQ at the point R. Then ∆ TPQ is isosceles and TO is the angle bisector of ∠ PTQ. So, OT ⊥ PQ and therefore, OT bisects PQ which gives PR = RQ = 4 cm. Also, OR = OP2 − PR2 = 52 − 42 cm = 3 cm. 2019-20
CIRCLES 213 Now, ∠ TPR + ∠ RPO = 90° = ∠ TPR + ∠ PTR (Why?) So, ∠ RPO = ∠ PTR Therefore, right triangle TRP is similar to the right triangle PRO by AA similarity. This gives TP RP TP 4 20 PO = RO , i.e., 5 = 3 or TP = 3 cm. Note : TP can also be found by using the Pythagoras Theorem, as follows: Let TP = x and TR = y. Then x2 = y2 + 16 (Taking right ∆ PRT) (1) x2 + 52 = (y + 3)2 (Taking right ∆ OPT) (2) Subtracting (1) from (2), we get 25 = 6y – 7 or y = 32 = 16 63 Therefore, x2 = 16 2 + 16 = 16 (16 + 9) = 16 × 25 [From (1)] 3 9 9 20 or x = 3 EXERCISE 10.2 In Q.1 to 3, choose the correct option and give justification. 1. From a point Q, the length of the tangent to a circle is 24 cm and the distance of Q from the centre is 25 cm. The radius of the circle is (A) 7 cm (B) 12 cm (C) 15 cm (D) 24.5 cm 2. In Fig. 10.11, if TP and TQ are the two tangents to a circle with centre O so that ∠ POQ = 110°, then ∠ PTQ is equal to (A) 60° (B) 70° (C) 80° (D) 90° Fig. 10.11 3. If tangents PA and PB from a point P to a circle with centre O are inclined to each other at angle of 80°, then ∠ POA is equal to (A) 50° (B) 60° (C) 70° (D) 80° 2019-20

Prove that the angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line-segment joining the points of contact at the centre. 11. Prove that the parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus. 12.

Find the sides AB and AC. 13. Prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral Fig. 10.14 circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles at the centre of the circle. 2019-20
CIRCLES 215 10.4 Summary In this chapter, you have studied the following points : 1. The meaning of a tangent to a circle. 2. The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact. 3. The lengths of the two tangents from an external point to a circle are equal. 2019-20
216 MATHEMATICS 11CONSTRUCTIONS 11.1 Introduction In Class IX, you have done certain constructions using a straight edge (ruler) and a compass, e.g., bisecting an angle, drawing the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, some constructions of triangles etc. and also gave their justifications. In this chapter, we shall study some more constructions by using the knowledge of the earlier constructions. You would also be expected to give the mathematical reasoning behind why such constructions work. 11.2 Division of a Line Segment Suppose a line segment is given and you have to divide it in a given ratio, say 3 : 2. You may do it by measuring the length and then marking a point on it that divides it in the given ratio. But suppose you do not have any way of measuring it precisely, how would you find the point? We give below two ways for finding such a point. Construction 11.1 : To divide a line segment in a given ratio. Given a line segment AB, we want to divide it in the ratio m : n, where both m and n are positive integers. To help you to understand it, we shall take m = 3 and n = 2. Steps of Construction : 1. Draw any ray AX, making an acute angle with AB. Fig. 11.1 2. Locate 5 (= m + n) points A1, A2, A3, A4 and A on AX so that AA = A A = A A = A A 5 1 12 23 34 =AA. 45 3. Join BA5. 4. Through the point A3 (m = 3), draw a line parallel to A5B (by making an angle equal to ∠ AA5B) at A3 intersecting AB at the point C (see Fig. 11.1). Then, AC : CB = 3 : 2. 2019-20
CONSTRUCTIONS 217 Let us see how this method gives us the required division. Since A3C is parallel to A5B, therefore, AA3 AC (By the Basic Proportionality Theorem) = A3A5 CB By construction, AA3 = 3 ⋅ Therefore, AC = 3 . A3A5 2 CB 2 This shows that C divides AB in the ratio 3 : 2. Alternative Method Steps of Construction : 1. Draw any ray AX making an acute angle with AB. Fig. 11.2 2. Draw a ray BY parallel to AX by making ∠ ABY equal to ∠ BAX. 3. Locate the points A1, A2, A3 (m = 3) on AX and B1, B2 (n = 2) on BY such that AA1 = A1A2 = A2A3 = BB1 = B1B2. 4. Join A3B2. Let it intersect AB at a point C (see Fig. 11.2). Then AC : CB = 3 : 2. Why does this method work? Let us see. Here ∆ AA3C is similar to ∆ BB2C. (Why ?) Then AA3 = AC . BB2 BC Since by construction, AA3 = 3, therefore, AC = 3⋅ BB2 2 BC 2 In fact, the methods given above work for dividing the line segment in any ratio. We now use the idea of the construction above for constructing a triangle similar to a given triangle whose sides are in a given ratio with the corresponding sides of the given triangle. Construction 11.2 : To construct a triangle similar to a given triangle as per given scale factor. This construction involves two different situations. In one, the triangle to be constructed is smaller and in the other it is larger than the given triangle. Here, the scale factor means the ratio of the sides of the triangle to be constructed with the corresponding sides of the given triangle (see also Chapter 6). Let us take the following examples for understanding the constructions involved. The same methods would apply for the general case also. 2019-20
218 MATHEMATICS Example 1 : Construct a triangle similar to a given triangle ABC with its sides equal 33 to 4 of the corresponding sides of the triangle ABC (i.e., of scale factor 4 ). Solution : Given a triangle ABC, we are required to construct another triangle whose 3 sides are of the corresponding sides of the triangle ABC. 4 Steps of Construction : 1. Draw any ray BX making an acute angle with BC on the side opposite to the vertex A. 3 2. Locate 4 (the greater of 3 and 4 in 4 ) points B , B , B and B on BX so that 123 4 BB = B B = B B = B B . 1 12 23 34 3. Join B4C and draw a line through B3 (the 3rd point, 3 being smaller of 3 and 4 in 3 4 ) parallel to B4C to intersect BC at C′. 4. Draw a line through C′ parallel to the line CA to intersect BA at A′ (see Fig. 11.3). Fig. 11.3 Then, ∆ A′BC′ is the required triangle. Let us now see how this construction gives the required triangle. By Construction 11.1, BC′ = 3⋅ C′C 1 Therefore, BC = BC′ + C′C =1+ C′C =1+ 1= 4 BC′ = 3 BC′ BC′ BC′ 3 3 , i.e., BC 4. Also C′A′ is parallel to CA. Therefore, ∆ A′BC′ ~ ∆ ABC. (Why ?) So, A′B = A′C′ = BC′ = 3 ⋅ AB AC BC 4 Example 2 : Construct a triangle similar to a given triangle ABC with its sides equal 55 to 3 of the corresponding sides of the triangle ABC (i.e., of scale factor 3 ). 2019-20
CONSTRUCTIONS 219 Solution : Given a triangle ABC, we are required to construct a triangle whose sides 5 are 3 of the corresponding sides of ∆ ABC. Steps of Construction : 1. Draw any ray BX making an acute angle with BC on the side opposite to the vertex A. 5 2. Locate 5 points (the greater of 5 and 3 in 3 ) B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 on BX so that BB1 = B1B2 = B2B3 = B3B4 = B4B5. 5 3. Join B3(the 3rd point, 3 being smaller of 3 and 5 in 3 ) to C and draw a line through B parallel to B C, intersecting the extended line segment BC at C′. 53 4. Draw a line through C′ parallel to CA intersecting the extended line segment BA at A′ (see Fig. 11.4). Then A′BC′ is the required triangle. For justification of the construction, note that ∆ ABC ~ ∆ A′BC′. (Why ?) Therefore, AB = AC = BC ⋅ A′B A′C′ BC′ But, BC = BB3 = 3 , Fig. 11.4 BC′ BB5 5 So, BC′ = 5 , and, therefore, A′B = A′C′ = BC′ = 5 ⋅ BC 3 AB AC BC 3 Remark : In Examples 1 and 2, you could take a ray making an acute angle with AB or AC and proceed similarly. EXERCISE 11.1 In each of the following, give the justification of the construction also: 1. Draw a line segment of length 7.6 cm and divide it in the ratio 5 : 8. Measure the two parts. 2019-20
220 MATHEMATICS 2. Construct a triangle of sides 4 cm, 5 cm and 6 cm and then a triangle similar to it whose 2 sides are 3 of the corresponding sides of the first triangle. 3. Construct a triangle with sides 5 cm, 6 cm and 7 cm and then another triangle whose 7 sides are 5 of the corresponding sides of the first triangle. 4. Construct an isosceles triangle whose base is 8 cm and altitude 4 cm and then another triangle whose sides are 1 1 times the corresponding sides of the isosceles triangle. 2 5. Draw a triangle ABC with side BC = 6 cm, AB = 5 cm and ∠ ABC = 60°. Then construct 3 a triangle whose sides are of the corresponding sides of the triangle ABC. 4 6. Draw a triangle ABC with side BC = 7 cm, ∠ B = 45°, ∠ A = 105°. Then, construct a triangle whose sides are 4 times the corresponding sides of ∆ ABC. 3 7. Draw a right triangle in which the sides (other than hypotenuse) are of lengths 4 cm and 3 cm. Then construct another triangle whose sides are 5 times the corresponding sides 3 of the given triangle. 11.3 Construction of Tangents to a Circle You have already studied in the previous chapter that if a point lies inside a circle, there cannot be a tangent to the circle through this point. However, if a point lies on the circle, then there is only one tangent to the circle at this point and it is perpendicular to the radius through this point. Therefore, if you want to draw a tangent at a point of a circle, simply draw the radius through this point and draw a line perpendicular to this radius through this point and this will be the required tangent at the point. You have also seen that if the point lies outside the circle, there will be two tangents to the circle from this point. We shall now see how to draw these tangents. Construction 11.3 : To construct the tangents to a circle from a point outside it. We are given a circle with centre O and a point P outside it. We have to construct the two tangents from P to the circle. 2019-20
CONSTRUCTIONS 221 Steps of Construction: Fig. 11.5 1. Join PO and bisect it. Let M be the mid- point of PO. 2. Taking M as centre and MO as radius, draw a circle. Let it intersect the given circle at the points Q and R. 3. Join PQ and PR. Then PQ and PR are the required two tangents (see Fig. 11.5). Now let us see how this construction works. Join OQ. Then ∠ PQO is an angle in the semicircle and, therefore, ∠ PQO = 90° Can we say that PQ ⊥ OQ? Since, OQ is a radius of the given circle, PQ has to be a tangent to the circle. Similarly, PR is also a tangent to the circle. Note : If centre of the circle is not given, you may locate its centre first by taking any two non-parallel chords and then finding the point of intersection of their perpendicular bisectors. Then you could proceed as above. EXERCISE 11.2 In each of the following, give also the justification of the construction: 1. Draw a circle of radius 6 cm. From a point 10 cm away from its centre, construct the pair of tangents to the circle and measure their lengths. 2. Construct a tangent to a circle of radius 4 cm from a point on the concentric circle of radius 6 cm and measure its length. Also verify the measurement by actual calculation. 3. Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. Take two points P and Q on one of its extended diameter each at a distance of 7 cm from its centre. Draw tangents to the circle from these two points P and Q. 4. Draw a pair of tangents to a circle of radius 5 cm which are inclined to each other at an angle of 60°. 5. Draw a line segment AB of length 8 cm. Taking A as centre, draw a circle of radius 4 cm and taking B as centre, draw another circle of radius 3 cm. Construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle. 2019-20
222 MATHEMATICS 6. Let ABC be a right triangle in which AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm and ∠ B = 90°. BD is the perpendicular from B on AC. The circle through B, C, D is drawn. Construct the tangents from A to this circle. 7. Draw a circle with the help of a bangle. Take a point outside the circle. Construct the pair of tangents from this point to the circle. 11.4 Summary In this chapter, you have learnt how to do the following constructions: 1. To divide a line segment in a given ratio. 2. To construct a triangle similar to a given triangle as per a given scale factor which may be less than 1 or greater than 1. 3. To construct the pair of tangents from an external point to a circle. A NOTE TO THE READER Construction of a quadrilateral (or a polygon) similar to a given quadrilateral (or a polygon) with a given scale factor can also be done following the similar steps as used in Examples 1 and 2 of Construction 11.2. 2019-20
AREAS RELATED TO CIRCLES 223 12AREAS RELATED TO CIRCLES 12.1 Introduction You are already familiar with some methods of finding perimeters and areas of simple plane figures such as rectangles, squares, parallelograms, triangles and circles from your earlier classes. Many objects that we come across in our daily life are related to the circular shape in some form or the other. Cycle wheels, wheel barrow (thela), dartboard, round cake, papad, drain cover, various designs, bangles, brooches, circular paths, washers, flower beds, etc. are some examples of such objects (see Fig. 12.1). So, the problem of finding perimeters and areas related to circular figures is of great practical importance. In this chapter, we shall begin our discussion with a review of the concepts of perimeter (circumference) and area of a circle and apply this knowledge in finding the areas of two special ‘parts’ of a circular region (or briefly of a circle) known as sector and segment. We shall also see how to find the areas of some combinations of plane figures involving circles or their parts. Fig. 12.1 2019-20
224 MATHEMATICS 12.2 Perimeter and Area of a Circle — A Review Recall that the distance covered by travelling once around a circle is its perimeter, usually called its circumference. You also know from your earlier classes, that circumference of a circle bears a constant ratio with its diameter. This constant ratio is denoted by the Greek letter π (read as ‘pi’). In other words, circumference =π diameter or, circumference = π × diameter = π × 2r (where r is the radius of the circle) = 2πr The great Indian mathematician Aryabhata (C.E. 476 – 550) gave an approximate value of π. He stated that π = 62832 , which is nearly equal to 3.1416. It is also 20000 interesting to note that using an identity of the great mathematical genius Srinivas Ramanujan (1887–1920) of India, mathematicians have been able to calculate the value of π correct to million places of decimals. As you know from Chapter 1 of Class IX, π is an irrational number and its decimal expansion is non-terminating and non-recurring (non-repeating). However, for practical purposes, we generally take 22 the value of π as or 3.14, approximately. 7 You may also recall that area of a circle is πr2, where r is the radius of the circle. Recall that you have verified it in Class VII, by cutting a circle into a number of sectors and rearranging them as shown in Fig. 12.2. Fig 12.2 2019-20
AREAS RELATED TO CIRCLES 225 1 You can see that the shape in Fig. 12.2 (ii) is nearly a rectangle of length 2 × 2 π r 1 and breadth r. This suggests that the area of the circle = × 2πr × r = πr2. Let us 2 recall the concepts learnt in earlier classes, through an example. Example 1 : The cost of fencing a circular field at the rate of ` 24 per metre is ` 5280. The field is to be ploughed at the rate of ` 0.50 per m2. Find the cost of 22 ploughing the field (Take π = ). 7 Solution : Length of the fence (in metres) = Total cost = 5280 = 220 Rate 24 So, circumference of the field = 220 m Therefore, if r metres is the radius of the field, then 2πr = 220 22 or, 2 × × r = 220 7 220 × 7 or, r = 2 × 22 = 35 i.e., radius of the field is 35 m. 22 Therefore, area of the field = πr2 = × 35 × 35 m2 = 22 × 5 × 35 m2 7 Now, cost of ploughing 1 m2 of the field = ` 0.50 So, total cost of ploughing the field = ` 22 × 5 × 35 × 0.50 = ` 1925 EXERCISE 12.1 Fig. 12.3 22 Unless stated otherwise, use π = . 7 1. The radii of two circles are 19 cm and 9 cm respectively. Find the radius of the circle which has circumference equal to the sum of the circumferences of the two circles. 2. 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. 3. Fig. 12.3 depicts an archery target marked with its five scoring regions from the centre outwards as Gold, Red, Blue, Black and White.

Tick the correct answer in the following and justify your choice : If the perimeter and the area of a circle are numerically equal, then the radius of the circle is (A) 2 units (B) π units (C) 4 units (D) 7 units 12.3 Areas of Sector and Segment of a Circle You have already come across the terms sector and segment of a circle in your earlier classes. Recall that the portion (or part) of the circular region enclosed by two radii and the corresponding arc is called a sector of the circle and the portion (or part) of the circular region enclosed between a chord and the corresponding arc is called a segment of the circle. Thus, in Fig. 12.4, shaded region OAPB is a sector Fig. 12.4 of the circle with centre O. ∠ AOB is called the angle of the sector. Note that in this figure, unshaded region OAQB is also a sector of the circle. For obvious reasons, OAPB is called the minor sector and OAQB is called the major sector. You can also see that angle of the major sector is 360° – ∠ AOB. Now, look at Fig. 12.5 in which AB is a chord of the circle with centre O. So, shaded region APB is a segment of the circle. You can also note that unshaded region AQB is another segment of the circle formed by the chord AB. For obvious reasons, APB is called the minor segment and AQB is called the major segment. Remark : When we write ‘segment’ and ‘sector’ Fig. 12.5 we will mean the ‘minor segment’ and the ‘minor sector’ respectively, unless stated otherwise. Now with this knowledge, let us try to find some relations (or formulae) to calculate their areas. Let OAPB be a sector of a circle with centre O and radius r (see Fig. 12.6). Let the degree measure of ∠ AOB be θ. You know that area of a circle (in fact of a circular region or disc) is πr2. Fig. 12.6 2019-20
AREAS RELATED TO CIRCLES 227 In a way, we can consider this circular region to be a sector forming an angle of 360° (i.e., of degree measure 360) at the centre O. Now by applying the Unitary Method, we can arrive at the area of the sector OAPB as follows: When degree measure of the angle at the centre is 360, area of the sector = πr2 So, when the degree measure of the angle at the centre is 1, area of the πr 2 sector = ⋅ 360 Therefore, when the degree measure of the angle at the centre is θ, area of the πr 2 θ × πr2 . sector = × θ = 360 360 Thus, we obtain the following relation (or formula) for area of a sector of a circle: Area of the sector of angle θ = θ ×πr 2 , 360 where r is the radius of the circle and θ the angle of the sector in degrees. Now, a natural question arises : Can we find Fig. 12.7 the length of the arc APB corresponding to this sector? Yes. Again, by applying the Unitary Method and taking the whole length of the circle (of angle 360°) as 2πr, we can obtain the required θ length of the arc APB as 360 × 2π r . θ So, length of an arc of a sector of angle θ = 360 × 2πr . Now let us take the case of the area of the segment APB of a circle with centre O and radius r (see Fig. 12.7). You can see that : Area of the segment APB = Area of the sector OAPB – Area of ∆ OAB = θ × πr2 – area of ∆ OAB 360 Note : From Fig. 12.6 and Fig. 12.7 respectively, you can observe that : Area of the major sector OAQB = πr2 – Area of the minor sector OAPB and Area of major segment AQB = πr2 – Area of the minor segment APB 2019-20
228 MATHEMATICS Let us now take some examples to understand these concepts (or results). Example 2 : Find the area of the sector of a circle with radius 4 cm and of angle 30°. Also, find the area of the corresponding major sector (Use π = 3.14). Solution : Given sector is OAPB (see Fig. 12.8). Area of the sector = θ × πr2 360 = 30 × 3.14 × 4 × 4 cm2 Fig. 12.8 360 = 12.56 cm2 = 4.19cm2 (approx.) 3 Area of the corresponding major sector = πr2 – area of sector OAPB = (3.14 × 16 – 4.19) cm2 = 46.05 cm2 = 46.1 cm2 (approx.) Alternatively, area of the major sector = (360 – θ) × πr2 360 = 360 − 30 × 3.14 × 16 cm2 360 = 330 × 3.14 × 16cm2 = 46.05 cm2 360 = 46.1 cm2 (approx.) Example 3 : Find the area of the segment AYB shown in Fig. 12.9, if radius of the circle is 21 cm and 22 ∠ AOB = 120°. (Use π = ) 7 Fig. 12.9 2019-20
AREAS RELATED TO CIRCLES 229 Solution : Area of the segment AYB (1) = Area of sector OAYB – Area of ∆ OAB (2) Now, area of the sector OAYB = 120 × 22 × 21 × 21 cm2 = 462 cm2 360 7 For finding the area of ∆ OAB, draw OM ⊥ AB as shown in Fig. 12.10. Note that OA = OB. Therefore, by RHS congruence, ∆ AMO ≅ ∆ BMO. 1 So, M is the mid-point of AB and ∠ AOM = ∠ BOM = 2 × 120° = 60° . Let OM = x cm So, from ∆ OMA, OM = cos 60° OA or, x1 cos 60° = 1 Fig. 12.10 or, 21 = 2 2 So, Also, 21 So, x= 2 Therefore, So, 21 OM = 2 cm AM 3 OA = sin 60° = 2 AM = 21 3 cm 2 AB = 2 AM = 2 × 21 3 cm = 21 3 cm 2 area of ∆ OAB = 1 = 1 3 × 21 cm2 AB × OM × 21 2 22 441 3 cm2 (3) = 4 Therefore, area of the segment AYB = − 441 3 cm2 [From (1), (2) and (3)] 462 4 = 21 (88 – 21 3) cm2 4 2019-20

Let us now try to calculate the areas of some combinations of plane figures. We come across these types of figures in our daily life and also in the form of various interesting designs. Flower beds, drain covers, window designs, designs on table covers, are some of such examples. We illustrate the process of calculating areas of these figures through some examples. Example 4 : In Fig. 12.15, two circular flower beds Fig. 12.15 have been shown on two sides of a square lawn ABCD of side 56 m. If the centre of each circular flower bed is the point of intersection O of the diagonals of the square lawn, find the sum of the areas of the lawn and the flower beds. 2019-20
232 MATHEMATICS Solution : Area of the square lawn ABCD = 56 × 56 m2 (1) Let OA = OB = x metres (2) So, x2 + x2 = 562 or, 2x2 = 56 × 56 or, x2 = 28 × 56 Now, area of sector OAB = 90 × π x2 = 1 × π x2 360 4 = 1 × 22 × 28 × 56 m2 [From (2)] (3) 47 Also, area of ∆ OAB = 1 × 56 × 56 m2 (∠ AOB = 90°) (4) 4 So, area of flower bed AB = 1 × 22 × 28 × 56 − 1 × 56 × m2 4 7 4 56 [From (3) and (4)] = 1 × 28 × 56 22 − m2 4 7 2 = 1 × 28 × 56 × 8 m2 (5) 47 Similarly, area of the other flower bed = 1 × 28 × 56 × 8 m2 (6) 47 Therefore, total area = 1 × 28 × 56 × 8 56 × 56 + 47 + 1 × 28 × 56 × 8 m2 [From (1), (5) and (6)] 4 7 = 2 + 2 m2 28 × 56 2 + 7 7 = 28 × 56 × 18 m2 = 4032m2 7 2019-20
AREAS RELATED TO CIRCLES 233 Alternative Solution : Total area = Area of sector OAB + Area of sector ODC + Area of ∆ OAD + Area of ∆ OBC = 90 × 22 × 28 × 56 + 90 × 22 × 28 × 56 360 7 360 7 + 1 × 56 × 56 + 1 × 56 × 56 m2 4 4 = 1 × 28 × 56 22 + 22 + 2 + 2 m2 4 7 7 = 7 × 56 (22 + 22 + 14 + 14) m2 7 = 56 × 72 m2 = 4032 m2 Example 5 : Find the area of the shaded region in Fig. 12.16, where ABCD is a square of side 14 cm. Solution : Area of square ABCD = 14 × 14 cm2 = 196 cm2 Diameter of each circle = 14 cm = 7 cm 2 7 Fig. 12.16 So, radius of each circle = cm 2 So, area of one circle = πr2 = 22 × 7 × 7 cm2 7 22 = 154 cm = 77 cm2 42 Therefore, area of the four circles = 4 × 77 cm2 = 154 cm2 2 Hence, area of the shaded region = (196 – 154) cm2 = 42 cm2. 2019-20

(Use π = 3.14) Fig. 12.17 Fig. 12.18 Solution : Let us mark the four unshaded regions as I, II, III and IV (see Fig. 12.18). Area of I + Area of III = Area of ABCD – Areas of two semicircles of each of radius 5 cm = × 10 – 2 × 1 × π × 52 cm2 = (100 – 3.14 × 25) cm2 10 2 = (100 – 78.5) cm2 = 21.5 cm2 Similarly, Area of II + Area of IV = 21.5 cm2 So, area of the shaded design = Area of ABCD – Area of (I + II + III + IV) = (100 – 2 × 21.5) cm2 = (100 – 43) cm2 = 57 cm2 EXERCISE 12.3 Unless stated otherwise, use π = 22 ⋅ 7 1.
