Important Questions on Circle







Prove that, “the lengths of the two tangent segments to a circle drawn from an external point are equal”.

Suppose are two unequal circles; and are the direct common tangents to these circles. A transverse common tangent cuts in and in . If units, then is -

On the circle with center , points are such that . A point is located on the tangent at to the circle such that and are on the opposite sides of the line and . The line segment intersects the circle again at . Then the ratio is equal to -


In the following figure, point ‘’ is the centre of the circle. Line is tangent at point . If and , determine the radius of the circle.

If the angle between two radii of a circle is , the angle between the tangents at the ends of radii is


If two tangents inclined at an angle of are drawn to a circle of radius then length of each tangent is equal to

In the figure, and are two tangents to a circle with centre . If then is



From a point which is at a distance from the centre of a circle of radius the pair of tangents and to the circle are drawn. Then the area of the quadrilateral is

If and are tangents to the circle with centre such that then is equal to
