How can you prove the converse of the above theorem. " If a line in the plane of a circle is perpendicular to the radius at its endpoint on the circle, then the line is tangent of the circle ".

The diameters of two circles with centre A and B are 16 cm and 30 cm respectively. If area of another circle with centre C is equal to the sum of areas of these two circles, then find the circumference of the circle with centre C.

The radical centre of the three circleS deseribed on the three sides of a trianglt as diameter is

The diameter of a circle is a line which joins two points on the circle and also passes through the centre of the circle. (In the adjoining figure (Fig 11.12) AB is a diameter of the circle, C is its centre.) Express the diameter of the circle (d) in terms of its radius (r).

Draw a line segment AB of length 8 cm. Taking A as centre, draw a circle of radius 4 cm and taking B as centre, draw another circle of radius 3 cm. Construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle.

AB and CD are two equal and parallel chords in a circle.If the distance from the centre of the circle to the chord AB=2x units,then the distance between the chords is:

Consider a family of circles which are passing through the point (-1, 1) and are tangent to x-axis. If (h,k) are the co-ordinates of the centre of the circle, then the set of values of k is given by the interval :
