B) Solve the following questions. (4)

1) In the figure, seg AB and seg AD are tangent segments drawn to a circle with centre C from exterior point A,
then prove that: ∠A = 1
2
[m(arc BYD) - m(arc BXD)].

Ans.
 Seg AB ⊥ seg BC and seg AD ⊥ ... [By tangent theorem]
seg CD
∴ ∠ABC = ∠ADC = 90°
In □ ABCD,
∠ ∠ ∠C + ∠D = 360°
A+ B+ ... [ Angle of the square]
∴ ∠A + 90° + ∠C + 90° = 360°
∴ ∠A + ∠C = 360° - 180°
∴ ∠A + ∠C = 180°
∴ ∠A + m(arc BXD) = 180° [Central ... (i)
angle]
Now, m(arc BXD) + m(arc BYD) = ... [Two arcs contribute a complete
360° circle] ... (ii)
Now, multiply equation (i) by 2 on both sides
∠
2 [ A + m(arc BXD)] = 2 × 180°
∴ ∠
2 A + 2 × m(arc BXD) = 360°
∴ ∠
2 A = 360 – 2 × m(arc BXD)
∴ ∠
2 A = m(arc BXD) + m(arc BYD) – 2m(arc BXD)
∴ ∠
2 A = m(arc BYD) – m(arc BXD) ... [From (ii)]
∴ ∠A = 1
2
[m(arc BYD) – m(arc BXD)
Hence proved.

3) Radius of a circle is 10 cm. Area of a sector is 100 cm2. Find the area of its corresponding major sector. (π =
3.14).

Ans. Area of a major sector =Area of circle -Area of a minor sector

=πr 2 - 100
=(3.14 × 10 × 10 - 100)
=314 - 100
=214 cm2
Area of major sector = 214 cm2
4) Find the side of a square whose diagonal is 16√2 cm.

Ans. Given : □ ABCD is a square, AC = 16√2 cm.

 (1) □ ABCD is a square ... (Given)
(2) ∴ AB = BC = x ... (Sides of a square and assumption)
(3) ∠ D = 90° ... (Angles of a square)
(4) In △ABC, B = 90° ∠ ... (From (3))
∴ AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ... (Pythagoras Theorem)
∴ (16√2)2 = x2+ x2 ... (From (ii) and given)
∴ 256 × 2 = 2x2
∴ 256 × 2
2
= x2
∴ x2 = 256
∴ x = √256 ... (Taking sq. root)
∴ x = 16 cm
Side of the square is 16 cm

QM = MR = 2
QR
PQ2 + PR2
= 2PM2 + 2QM2 ... (by Apollonius theorem)
290 = 2 × 92 + 2QM2
290 = 2 × 81 + 2QM2
290 = 290 - 162
2QM2 = 128
QM2 = 64
QM = 8
∴ QR = 2 × QM

Q.4 Solve the following questions. (Any two) (8)

1) Draw circles with centres A, B and C each of radius 3 cm, such that each circle touches the other two circles.

Ans.

Analysis : Let the circles with centres A, B and C touch at points P, R and Q as shown.
By theorem of touching circles, we get A - P - B, B - R - C and A - Q - C.
∴ AB = AP + PB = 3 + 3 = 6 cm.
Similarly BC = 6 cm and AC = 6 cm
∴ We can construct △ ABC with
 AB = BC = AC = 6 cm
With A, B and C as centres, the required circles of radius 3 cm can be drawn.

2) A cylinder of radius 12 cm contains water up to the height of 20 cm. A spherical iron ball is dropped into the
cylinder and thus the water level is raised by 6.75 cm. Find the radius of the spherical iron ball.

Ans.

Here the radius (r) of the cylinder = 12 cm.

Height (h) of water = 20 cm. The water level is raised by 6.75 cm, when the spherical iron ball is dropped into
the cylinder.
∴ the volume of the iron ball
= the volume of water displaced by it
= the volume of the cylinder with radius 12 cm and height 6.75 cm.
The volume of a cylinder (i.e. the volume of water)

= πr2h
= π × (12)2 × 6.75 cm3 ... (1)
4
The volume of a sphere = πr3 ... (2)
3
From (2) and (1),
4
πr3 = π × (12)2 × 6.75
3

∴ r3 =
12 × 12 × 6 . 75 × 3
4
= 729
∴ r = 9 cm.
The radius of the spherical iron ball is 9 cm.

sin 2 θ cos 2θ tan 2 θ cot 2θ sec 2 θ cosec 2 θ
cosec2 θ– θ–sec2 θ– θ–cot2 – tan2
=–3 cost2θ sin2θ
cosec2 θ – cot2 θ – sec2 θ – tan2 θ – (cos2θ – sin2θ) = – 3
1 – (sec2 θ + tan2 θ) – 1 = – 3
– (sec2 θ + tan2 θ) = – 3
1 + tan2θ + tan2θ = 3
2 tan2θ = 3 – 1
2 tan2θ = 2
 tan2θ = 1
tanθ = tan 45
θ = 45°

2) Construct a trigonometry word problem (find speed) by looking at the figure . Solve the problem you have
constructed.

Ans. Question: A bird was flying in a line parallel to the ground from north to south at a height of 2000 metres. Tom,
standing in the middle of the field, first observed the bird in the north at an angle of 30°. After 3 minutes, he
again observed it in the south at an angle of 45°. Find the speed of the bird in km/h.

solution: Let T be the position of Tom. A is the initial position of the bird.

B is the final position of the bird. CT = 2000 m.

∠CAT = 30°
∠CBT = 45° } ... (Alternate angles)

In △ CAT, tan∠CAT = tan 30° =

CT
AC
∴ 1

√3
=
2000
AC

∴ AC = 2000√3 = 2000 × 1.73 = 3460 m ... (1)

In △ CBT, tan ∠CBT = tan 45° = BC

CT

∴ 1=
2000
BC
∴ BC = 2000 m ... (2)
From (1) and (2),
AB = AC + CB = (3460 + 2000) m = 5460 m
5460
So, the distance covered by the bird in 3 minutes = 5460 m = 1000
km
∴ the distance covered by bird in 1 hour (60 minutes)
5460 5460 × 20 km
= 1000 × 3
× 60 = 1000 h
= 109.2 km/h
The speed of the bird is 109.2 km/h
