discussed some part of

geometry in my previous

sessions. Both are related to

triangles and their properties.

Also, I have discussed some
Important Questions of

geometry. Today I will discuss

circles and its properties in exam

point of view. Firstly I will tell you

some terms related to figure of
circle.

Centre: 'O' is a centre of the

circle i.e. fixed point in the
circle.

Radius: OM is a radius of

circle i.e.from centre to the

boundary of circle.

Diameter: Double of radius.

In figure, XY is a diameter.

Circumference: 2 r i.e.

distance around the circle.

Secant: A line which

intersect the circle at two

points. In figure, line PQ

intersect circle at AB, So PQ

is a secant.

Tangent: Any line which

touches the circle at only

one point is tangent of

circle. TU is a tangent of
circle.

Chord: Line whose end

points touches the circle .

RS is a chord of circle.

Segment: Chord divides the

circle into two parts. one

major and other minor. Both

parts are known as

Segments. In figure, yellow

region is a minor segment.

Results of
Circles
If r is radius of circle, then area of
circle = r2

Example1: If area of circle is 314,

then what will be the radius of
circle?

Solution: Area = r2
200 = r2
r^2 =
r = 10

314
( = 3.14)
3.14

In a figure given below, PA is a

tangent and PRS is a secant, then

PR PS = PA^2 (Result for one
tangent and one secant)

If there are two secants, for

example in figure, PRS and PTU

are secants, then result followed

will be:

PT PU = PR PS

Yellow part is a segment of circle.

Always remember that:

 Angles subtended by same

segments are always equal.

In figure, angle P and Q are

equal, as they are subtended

by same segment.

Angle subtended by segment

at the centre is twice the
angle subtended at the

boundary Angle O = 2 angle

P = 2 angle Q.

Study the following figure:

Above figure shows that, If OC is

a perpendicular to AB, C will be
the mid-point of AB

i.e. AC = CB and vice-versa.

If AB is tangent, then alternate

angles will be equal in given
figure.

I hope you understand the above

important results. Will soon
update more articles on

Geometry. Thanks for visiting.
