To prove: PQ bisects ∠AOB
Proof:

(iii) Draw the perpendicular of chords AB and BC which interest each other at point O,
then O will required center of the required circle
(iv) Join OA
(v) With center O and radius OA, complete the circle

9.
Sol:
Suppose two circles intersect in three points A,B,C,
Then A,B,C are non-collinear. So, a unique circle passes through these three points. This is
contradiction to the face that two given circles are passing through A,B,C. Hence, two
circles cannot intersect each other at more than two points.

Sol:

(i) Draw a line segment AB of 5cm

(ii) Draw the perpendicular bisectors of AB
(iii) With center A and radius of 4cm, draw an arc which O the O will be required center
(iv) Join OA
(v) With center O and radius OA draw a circle. No, we cannot draw a circle of radius
2cm passing through A and B because when we draw an arc of radius 2cm with
center A, the arc will not interest the perpendicular bisector and we will not find the
center

Sol:

Let ABC be an equilateral triangle of side 9cm and let AD one of its medians. Let G be the
centroid of ∆ABC. Then AG : GD = 2 :1
WKT in an equilateral ∆ le centroid coincides with the circum center
Therefore, G is the center of the circumference with circum radius GA
Also G is the center and GD ⊥ BC. Therefore,

Given hat AB= BC = CA

So, ABC is an equilateral triangle

Medians of equilaterals triangles pass through the circum center (0) of the equilaterals

Sol:
Let ABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral, and let O be the center of the corresponding circle
Then, each side of the equilateral ABCD is a chord of the circle and the perpendicular
bisector of a chord always passes through the center of the circle

corresponding circle

Sol:
Let O be the circle circumscribing the cycle rectangle ABCD. Since
∠ABC = 90° and AC is a chord of the circle, so AC is a diameter of a
circle. Similarly BD is a diameter
Hence, point of intersection of AC and BD is the center of the circle

Sol:

Let ∆ABC be a right angle triangle at angle B.

Let P be the midpoint of trypotenuse AC.
