Card 1Circles through points

A circle passes through one point. How many such circles are possible?

Answer

Step 1: Fix the given point. Step 2: Any centre can be chosen at any distance from that point. Step 3: Different centres give different circles. Answer: Infinite number of circles pass through a singl

Card 2Circles through points

Two distinct points A and B are given. How many circles can pass through both points?

Answer

Step 1: Join A and B. Step 2: The centre of any such circle must lie on the perpendicular bisector of AB. Step 3: Any point on that perpendicular bisector can act as a centre. Answer: Infinite circles

Card 3Circles through points

Three non-collinear points are given. How many circles can pass through them?

Answer

Step 1: Take any three non-collinear points. Step 2: A single circle can be drawn through all three points. Step 3: No second different circle can pass through the same three non-collinear points. Ans

Card 4Circles through points

Three collinear points D, E, F are given. Can a circle pass through all three?

Answer

Step 1: Notice that the three points lie on the same straight line. Step 2: A circle cannot pass through three points on one line. Answer: No circle can pass through three collinear points.

Card 5Chord and centre distance

Solve: A chord is 16 cm long and the diameter of the circle is 20 cm. The perpendicular from the centre to the chord is drawn. Find the distance from the centre to the chord.

Answer

Step 1: Radius = diameter / 2 = 20 / 2 = 10 cm. Step 2: Half of the chord = 16 / 2 = 8 cm. Step 3: The perpendicular from the centre bisects the chord, so a right triangle is formed. Step 4: Use Pytha

Card 6Chord and centre distance

Solve: A chord QR is 24 cm long and the perpendicular distance from the centre O to the chord is 10 cm. Find the radius of the circle.

Answer

Step 1: Half of chord QR = 24 / 2 = 12 cm. Step 2: The perpendicular from the centre bisects the chord. Step 3: Form a right triangle with legs 10 cm and 12 cm. Step 4: Radius^2 = 10^2 + 12^2 = 100 +

Card 7Chord properties

Why do two equal chords of a circle stay at equal distances from the centre?

Answer

Step 1: Equal chords have equal lengths. Step 2: Draw perpendiculars from the centre to both chords. Step 3: Each perpendicular bisects its chord. Step 4: The matching right triangles are congruent. S

Card 8Chord and centre distance

The radius of a circle is 13 cm and a chord is 10 cm from the centre. Find the chord length.

Answer

Step 1: Draw the perpendicular from the centre to the chord. Step 2: Half of the chord and the perpendicular distance form a right triangle with radius 13 cm. Step 3: Half-chord = sqrt(13^2 - 10^2) =
