Content Curator

The NCERT Solutions for class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles have been provided in the article below. A circle is the collection of all the points in a plane where, each of which is at a constant distance from a fixed point in that particular plane. A circle refers to the path of a point which moves in a plane in such a way that it remains at a constant distance from a fixed point in a plane.

Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles belong to Unit 4 Geometry which has a weightage of 27 marks in the Class 9 Maths Examination. NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths for Chapter 10 cover the following important concepts:

Important Topics in Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles

Important Topics in Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Circles are given below:

Cyclic Quadrilateral

Cyclic quadrilaterals are a type of quadrilaterals that have four vertices lying on the circumference of the same circle. It is simply a quadrilateral circumscribed within a circle.

Example: State the Brahmagupta Theorem.

Solution: Brahmagupta theorem helps determine the area and perimeter of a cyclic quadrilateral.
Area, ‘K’, of a cyclic quadrilateral that has sides a, b, c, and d can be expressed by:
K = $\sqrt{( s − a ) ( s − b ) ( s − c ) ( s − d) } $
Now, the perimeter of the respective quadrilateral can be expressed as 2S. Thus, S is the semi perimeter which can be showed as,
S = (1/2) × (a + b + c + d)

Semi Circle

Geometrically, a semicircle is a plane two-dimensional shape which can be formed by dividing a circle into exactly two segments.

Example: What is the area and perimeter of a semicircle?

Solution: The Area of a semicircle is = 1/2 (π r²)
The Perimeter of a semicircle is = (1/2) πd + d

Tangent to a Circle

A tangent to a circle is a line that touches the curved line or surface at a single point in geometry. A tangent to a circle can be expressed as a line that intersects the circle at a single point.

Example: List three properties of a Tangent.

Solution: The properties of a Tangent are:

The tangent is known to make a single point contact with the respective circle.
When the tangency occurs, it remains perpendicular to the circle's radius.
The tangent can never have two points intersecting the circle.
