5. Prove that XA+ AR = XB + BR.
6. If <AXB = 70, find <XAB.
7. If XA = 4cm and <BAP = 135, find AB

With the help of the figure given below, solve questions 8 and 9.

8. If AB= AC, prove that BD = DC (or) ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB=AC circumscribed about a
circle. Show that BC is bisected at the point of contact).
9. If AB= 8cm, BC = 10 cm and AC = 12 cm, find AF, BD, CE.

10. In the following figure, prove that AB = CD

11. Two concentric circles of radii a and b (a> b)are given. Find the length of the chord of the larger
circle which touches the smaller circle.
12. If d1, d2 (d2 > d1) be the diameters of two concentric circles and c be the length of a chord of a
circle which is tangent to the other circle, prove that d22 = c2 + d12.
13. In the given figure, if PR= 4.5 cm, find QR.

14. In the given figure, PQ and PR are the tangents to a circle from an external point P. If <QPR= 30,
find <QSR

15. In the given figure, if PQ is the diameter of the circle whose centre is O and <AQB= 30, find <ABP.
(Steps: Find <APB and <PAB through <OAP to find <ABP.)
