Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.4

Question 1.
Find the value of x in the given figure.
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.4 1
Solution:
∠B = 180° – 120°
(Sum of the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary)
∠B = 60°
∠BCA = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
∠BAC + ∠B + ∠BCA = 180°
x + 60° + 90° = 180°
x + 150° = 180°
x = 180° – 150°
= 30°
The value of x = 30°

Question 2.
In the given figure, AC is the diameter of the circle with centre O.
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.4 2
If ∠ADE = 30°; ∠DAC = 35° and ∠CAB = 40°.
Find (i) ∠ACD
(ii) ∠ACB
(iii) ∠DAE
Solution:
(i) ∠ADC = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
∠ADC + ∠ACD + ∠DAC = 180° (Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°)
90° + ∠ACD + 35° = 180°
∠ACD = 180° – 125°
∠ACD = 55°

(ii) ∠ABC = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
∠ACB + ∠CBA + ∠BAC = 180° (Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°)
∠ACB + 90 °+ 40° = 180°
∠ACB = 180° – 130°
= 50°

(iii) In the cyclic quadrilateral ACDE,
∠AED = 180° – 55°
= 125°
In ΔAED,
∠DAE + ∠AED + ∠EDA = 180° (Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°)
∠DAE + 125° + 30° = 180°
∠DAE = 180°- 155°
= 25°
∴ ∠DAE = 25°

Question 3.
Find all the angles of the given cyclic quadrilateral ABCD in the figure.
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.4 3
Solution:
In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD,
∠B + ∠D = 180° (Sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°)
6x – 4° + 7x + 2° = 180°
13x – 2° = 180°
13x = 182°
x = 182°
x = \(\frac{182°}{13}\)
x = 14°
∠B = 6x – 4°
= 6(14) – 4°
= 84 – 4
= 80°
∠D = 7x + 2°
7(14) + 2°
98 + 2
= 100°
180°
2y + 4° + 4y – 4° = (Sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°)
6y = 180°
y = \(\frac{180°}{6}\)
= 30°
∠A = 2y + 4°
= 2(30) + 4°
= 64°
∠C = 4y – 4°
= 4(30) – 4°
= 120° – 4°
= 116°
∴ ∠A = 64°, ∠B = 80°, ∠C = 116°, ∠D = 100°.

Question 4.
In the given figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral where diagonals intersect at P such that ∠DBC = 40° and ∠BAC = 60° find
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.4 4
(i) ∠CAD
(ii) ∠BCD
Solution:
(i) ∠CAD = ∠DBC = 40° [Angles at the circumference to the same segment]
(ii) ∠BAC – ∠BDC = 60° [Angles at the circumference to the same segment]
∠BCD + ∠BDC + ∠CBD = 180° (Sum of the three angles of A is 180°)
∠BCD + 60° + 40° = 180°
∠BCD = 180° – 100°
= 80°

Question 5.
In the given figure, AB and CD are the parallel chords of a circle with centre O. Such that AB = 8 cm and CD = 6 cm. If OM ⊥ AB and OL ⊥ CD distance between LM is 7cm. Find the radius of the circle?
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.4 5
Solution:
Let OM be x.
∴ OL = 7 – x
In the right ΔAOM,
OA² = AM² + OM²
= 4² + x²
OA² = 16 + x²
r² = 16 + x² ……… (1) [r is the radius]
In the right ΔOCL,
OC² = OL² + CL²
r² = (7 – x)² + 3²
= 49 + x² – 14x + 9
= 58 + x² – 14x …….. (2)
From (1) and (2) we get,
16 + x² = 58 + x² – 14x
14x = 58 – 16
14x = 42
x = \(\frac{42}{14}\)
x = 3 cm
r² = 16 + x²
= 16 + 9
= 25
∴ r = \(\sqrt{25}\)
= 5
∴ radius of the circle = 5 cm.

Question 6.
The arch of a bridge has dimensions as shown, where the arch measure 2 m at its highest point and its width is 6 cm. What is the radius of the circle that contains the arch?
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.4 6
Solution:
AD = \(\frac{6}{2}\)
= 3 m
In the right ΔADC,
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.4 7
AC² = AD² + DC²
= 32 + 22
= 9 + 4
= 13
AC = \(\sqrt{13}\)
= 3.6m
radius = 3.6 m

Question 7.
In figure ∠ABC = 120°, where A, B and C are points on the circle with centre O. Find ∠OAC?
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.4 8
Solution:
Reflex ∠AOC = 2∠ABC
= 20 × 120°
= 240°
∴ ∠AOC = 360° – 240°
= 120°
∠OCA + ∠OAC = 180° – 120°
= 60°
∴ ∠OAC = \(\frac{60}{2}\)
= 30° (Since OA = OC)

Question 8.
A school wants to conduct tree plantation programme. For this a teacher allotted a circle of radius 6m ground to nineth standard students for planting sapplings. Four students plant trees at the points A, B, C and D as shown in figure. Here AB = 8m, CD = 10m and AB ⊥ CD. If another student places a flower pot at the point P, the intersection of AB and CD, then find the distance from the centre to P.
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.4 9
Solution:
OA = OD = 6 m
AB = 8 m (chord)
CD = 10 m (chord)
In Δ AOM, OM = \(\sqrt{6² – 4²}\) (∴ OM bisects the chord and ⊥ to the chord)
= \(\sqrt{36 – 16}\)
= \(\sqrt{20}\)m
In Δ CON, ON = \(\sqrt{6² – 5²}\)
= \(\sqrt{36 – 25}\)
= \(\sqrt{11}\)m (ON bisects the chord and ⊥ to the chord)
ONPM is a rectangle with all the angles 90° and with length \(\sqrt{20}\) m, breadth \(\sqrt{11}\)l m.
We need to find OP which is the diagonal of the rectangle ONPM.
∴ OP = \(\sqrt{ON² + NP²}\) = \(\sqrt{(\sqrt{11})² + (\sqrt{20})²}\)
(∴ OM = NP, opposite sides of the rectangle)
= \(\sqrt{11 + 20}\)
= \(\sqrt{31}\)
= 5.56 m

Question 9.
In the given figure, ∠POQ = 100° and ∠PQR° = 30°, then find ∠RPO.
Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Guide Chapter 4 Geometry Ex 4.4 10
Solution:
∠PRQ = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∠POQ (Angles at the circumference)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 100°
= 50°
∠OPQ + ∠OQP = 180° – 100° (Total angles of A is 180°)
= 80°
∴ ∠OPQ = \(\frac{80}{2}\)
= 40° (Since OP = OQ, radius of the circle)
∠RPQ = 180°- (30 + 50)°
= 100°
∴ ∠RPO = ∠RPQ – ∠OPQ
= 100° – 40°
= 60°
