Q. 8

A circle is defined as the locus of a point which moves in a plane such that its distance from a fixed point remains constant. The fixed point is called centre of the circle and the fixed distance is called radius of the circle.

Basic Properties: 1. If C is the centre, AB is a

chord and CD AB at D, then AD = DB

2. If O is the centre, AB = CD OP AB at P and OQ CD at Q, then OP = OQ [ Congruent chords are equidistant from the

centre]

3. If AB is a diameter, P is a point on circle except A, B, then APB = 90.

4. If ABCD is a quadrilateral

inscribed in a circle, then A + C = 180 and B + D = 180

5. Tangent is always to radius of the circle. Standard form: If P(x, y) is any point on the circle then the equation of a circle with centre at the origin and radius ‘r’ is given by x2 + y2 = r2. The above equation is the standard form of a circle. Centre radius form: If P(x, y) is any point on the circle, then the equation of a circle with its centre at (h, k) and radius ‘r’ is given by distance formula (x h)2 + (y k)2 = r2

The above equation is the centreradius form of equation of a circle. Diameter form: If P(x, y) is any point on the circle, then the equation of a circle described on the line segment joining the points A(x1, y1) and B (x2, y2) as a diameter is given as follows: From the figure, seg.

Chapter 06: Circle

4. Find the equation of the circle, if the equations of two diameters are 2x + y = 6 and 3x + 2y = 4 and radius is 9.

Solution: Given equations of diameters are 2x + y = 6

and 3x +2y = 4. Let C (h, k) be the centre of the required circle Since, point of intersection of diameters is

centre of the circle. x = h, y = k Equations of diameters become 2h + k = 6 …(i) and 3h + 2k = 4 …(ii) By (ii) 2 (i), we get h = 8 h = 8 Substituting h = 8 in (i), we get 2(8) + k = 6 k = 6 16 k = 10 Centre of the circle is C (8, 10) and radius,

r = 9 The equation of a circle with centre at (h, k)

and radius r is given by (x h)2 + (y k)2 = r2

Here h = 8, k = 10 the required equation of the circle is (x 8)2 + (y +10)2 = 92 x2 16x + 64 + y2 + 20y + 100 = 81 x2 + y2 16x + 20y + 100 + 64 81 = 0 x2 + y2 16x + 20y + 83 = 0 5. If y = 2x is a chord of the circle

x2 + y2 10x = 0, find the equation of the circle with this chord as diameter.

Solution: y = 2x is the chord of the given circle. It satisfies the equation of given circle. Substituting y = 2x in x2 + y2 10x = 0, we get x2 + (2x)2 10x = 0 x2 + 4x2 10x = 0 5x2 10x = 0 5x (x 2) = 0 x = 0 or x = 2 When x = 0, y = 2x = 2 (0) = 0

A (0, 0) When x = 2, y = 2x = 2 (2) = 4 B (2, 4) End points of chord AB are A(0, 0) and

B(2, 4). Since, chord AB is diameter of the required

circle. The equation of a circle having (x1, y1) and

(x2, y2) as end points of diameter is given by (x x1) (x x2) + (y y1) (y y2) = 0 Here, x1 = 0, y1 = 0, x2 = 2, y2 = 4 the required equation of the circle is (x 0) (x 2) + (y 0) (y 4 ) = 0 x2 2x + y2 4y = 0 x2 + y2 2x 4y = 0 6. Find the equation of a circle with radius

4 units and touching both the co-ordinate axes having centre in third quadrant.

Solution: Radius of the circle = 4 units Since, the circle touches both the coordinate

axes and its centre is in third quadrant. the centre of the circle is C (– 4, – 4).

The equation of a circle with centre at (h, k)

and radius r is given by (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2 Here, h = – 4, k = – 4, r = 4 the required equation of the circle is [x – (– 4)]2 + [y – (– 4)]2 = 42 (x + 4)2 + (y + 4)2 = 16 x2 + 8x + 16 + y2 + 8y + 16 – 16 = 0 x2 + y2 + 8x + 8y + 16 = 0 7. Find the equation of circle passing through

the origin and having intercepts 4 and − 5 on the co-ordinate axes.

Solution: Let the circle intersect X-axis at point A and

intersect Y-axis at point B. the co-ordinates of point A are (4, 0) and the

co-ordinates of point B are (0, – 5).

Since, AOB is a right angle. AB represents the diameter of the circle. The equation of a circle having (x1, y1) and

(x2, y2) as end points of diameter is given by (x – x1) (x – x2) + (y – y1) (y – y2) = 0 Here, x1 = 4, y1 = 0, x2 = 0, y2 = – 5 the required equation of the circle is (x – 4) (x – 0) + (y – 0) [y – (– 5)] = 0 x(x – 4) + y(y + 5) = 0 x2 – 4x + y2 + 5y = 0 x2 + y2 – 4x + 5y = 0 8. Find the equation of a circle passing

through the points (1,− 4), (5, 2) and having its centre on the line x − 2y + 9 = 0 .

Solution:

Let C (h, k) be the centre of the required circle

which lies on the line x – 2y + 9 = 0. Equation of line becomes h – 2k + 9 = 0 …(i) Also, the required circle passes through the

points A(1, – 4) and B(5, 2). CA = CB = radius CA = CB By distance formula,

2 2 2 2(h 1) + [k ( 4)] = (h 5) + (k 2)

Squaring both the sides, we get (h – 1)2 + (k + 4)2 = (h – 5)2 + (k – 2)2 h2 – 2h + 1 + k2 + 8k + 16 = h2 – 10h + 25

+ k2 – 4k + 4 – 2h + 8k + 17 = – 10h – 4k + 29 8h + 12k – 12 = 0 2h + 3k – 3 = 0 …(ii) By (ii) – (i) 2, we get 7k = 21

k = 3

Substituting k = 3 in (i), we get

h – 2(3) + 9 = 0

h – 6 + 9 = 0

h = – 3

Centre of the circle is C (– 3, 3).

radius (r) = CA

= 2 2[1 ( 3)] + ( 4 3)

= 2 24 + ( 7)

= 16 + 49

= 65

The equation of a circle with centre at (h, k) and radius r is given by

(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2

Here, h = – 3, k = 3, r = 65

the required equation of the circle is

[x – (–3)]2 + (y – 3)2 = 2

65

(x + 3)2 + (y – 3)2 = 65

x2 + 6x + 9 + y2 – 6y + 9 – 65 = 0

x2 + y2 + 6x – 6y – 47 = 0

The equation of a circle with centre at (h, k) and radius r is

(x h)2 + (y k)2 = r2

x2 2hx + h2 + y2 2ky + k2 r2 = 0

x2 + y2 2hx 2ky + (h2 + k2 r2) = 0

Replacing h by ( g), k by ( f) and

h2 + k2 – r2 by c, we get

x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0

The above equation is the general equation of circle.

Now by adding 2 2g f to both sides of the

general equation, we get

(x2 + 2gx + g2) + (y2 + 2fy + f 2) + c = 2 2g f

(x + g)2 + (y + f)2 = g2 + f 2 c

[x (g)]2 + [y (f)]2 = 22 2g f c

The above equation is of the form

Consider the general equation of a circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0

x2 + 2gx + 2g + y2 + 2fy + 2f = 2g + 2f c

…[Adding g2 + f 2 on both the sides]

2 2

x y g f = g2 + f2 c

2 2 x yg f = 2

2 2g f c

(use centre radius form of equation of the circle.) Therefore, centre of the circle is ( g, f ) and

radius is 2 2g f c .

1. Construct a circle whose equation is

x2 + y2 − 4x + 6y − 12 = 0. Find the area of the circle. (Textbook page no. 129)

Solution: Given equation of circle is x2 + y2 – 4x + 6y – 12 = 0

Comparing this equation with x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get

2g = –4, 2f = 6, c = –12 g = –2, f = 3, c = –12 Centre of the circle = (–g, –f) = (2, – 3)

Radius (r) = 2 2g + f c

(Textbook page no. 130) Solution: i. Given equation of the circle is x2 + y2 – 6x – 4y + 9 = 0 Comparing this equation with x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get 2g = 6, 2f = – 4 and c = 9 g = 3, f = – 2 and c = 9 Now, g2 + f 2 – c = (– 3)2 + (– 2)2 – 9 = 9 + 4 – 9 = 4 > 0 the given equation represents a circle.

Equation (i) becomes xx1 + yy1 = r2 Thus, the equation of a tangent to the circle

x2 + y2 = r2 at P(x1, y1) is xx1 + yy1 = r2. Verify that the equation of the tangent to the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 is xx1 + yy1 + g(x + x1) + f(y + y1) + c = 0.

Solution: Given, x = 3 4 sin, y = 2 4 cos x 3 = 4 sin, y 2 = 4 cos On squaring and adding, we get (x 3)2 + (y 2)2 = (4 sin)2 + (4 cos)2 (x 3)2 + (y 2)2 = 16sin2 + 16cos2 (x 3)2 + (y 2)2 = 16(sin2 + cos2) (x 3)2 + (y 2)2 = 16(1) (x 3)2 + (y 2)2 = 16 (x 3)2 + (y 2)2 = 42 Comparing this equation with (x h)2 + (y k)2 = r2, we get h = 3, k = 2, r = 4 Centre of the circle is (3, 2) and radius is 4. 3.

Solution: Required circle passes through the point of

intersection of the lines x + 3y = 0 and 2x – 7y = 0.

x + 3y = 0 x = 3y …(i) 2x 7y = 0 …(ii) Substituting x = 3y in (ii), we get 2(3y) 7y = 0 6y 7y = 0 13y = 0 y = 0 Substituting y = 0 in (i), we get x = 3(0) = 0 Point of intersection is O(0, 0). This point O(0,0) lies on the circle. Let C(h, k) be the centre of the required circle. Since, point of intersection of lines x + y = –1

and x – 2y = – 4 is the centre of circle. x = h, y = k

X-axis at point A and the chord of length 6 on Y-axis at point B.

the co-ordinates of point A are (4, 0) and co-ordinates of point B are (0, 6).
