1) Δ PQR is an equilateral triangle. Find QSR and QTR.
Soln. Δ PQR is equilateral. ∴ ∠QPR = 600.
∴∠QSP = 600
( ∵ Angles subtended on the same side of the chord on the circle )
∠ QTR + ∠QSP = 1800
( ∵ QSRT is cyclic quadrilateral )
∴∠QTR = 1200.
(2) ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral whose side AB is a diameter of the circle through A, B, C and D. If ADC = 130o, find BAC.
Soln.
In ABC, ∠C = 900.
∠ADC + ∠CBA = 1800 ( ∵ ABCD is cyclic )
∴∠CBA = 500.
∠CAB = 1800 – ( 900 + 500 )
( ∵ Δ ABC is a triangle. Hence, sum of angles = 180o )
= 1800 – 1400 = 400.
(3) Given PA = 4, AB = 5. Find PT.
Soln.
PA = 4 and AB = 5 ⇒ PB = PA + AB = 4 + 5 = 9
Now,
PT2 = PA × PB = 4 × 9 = 36
∴ PT = 6
(4) Find x.
Soln.
5 × 6 = 3 × x
∴ x = 10.
Best of Luck…
