10 Geometry Answer Sheet
1.A. Four alternative answers are given for every sub-question, Select the correct
alternative and write the alphabet of that answer: 4
(1) If a, b, c are sides of a triangle and a² + b² = c², name the type of triangle:
(A) Obtuse angled triangle (B) Acute angled triangle
(C) Right angled triangle (D) Equilateral triangle
(2) Chords AB and CD of a circle intersect inside the circle at point E. If AE 4, EB 10, CE 8, then find ED:
(A) 7 (B) 5
(C) 8 (D) 9
(3) Two circles of radii 5.5 cm and 3.3 cm respectively touch each other Externally. What is the distance
between their centres?
(A) 4.4 cm (B) 8.8 cm
(C) 2.2 cm (D) 8.8 or 2.2 cm
(4) The number of tangents that can be drawn to a circle at a point on the circle is
(A) 3 (B) 2
(C) 1 (D) 0
(2) For finding AB and BC with the help of information given in figure,
complete following activity.
AB = BC .......... (Given)
∴ ∠BAC =
1
∴ AB = BC = x AC
1
= x √8
1
= x
√2
=2
(3) In the given figure, ∠ L = 35°, find:
(i) m (arc MN)
(ii) m (arc MLN)
Solution:
1
(i) ∠L = 2 m (arc MN) ......... (By inscribed angle theorem)
1
∴ = 2 m (arc MN)
∴ 2 x 35 = m (arc MN)
∴ m (arc MN) =
(ii) m (are MLN) = - m (arc MN) ......... [Definition of measure of arc]
= 360° - 70°
∴ m (arc MLN) =
(B) Solve the following sub-questions (Any four): 8
(3) ▢MRPN is cyclic, ∠ R = (5x – 13)°, ∠ N = (4x + 4)°. Find measures of ∠ R and ∠ N.
(4) Draw a circle with radius 3.4 cm. Draw a chord MN of length 5.7 cm in it. Construct tangents at point M
and N to the circle.
(5) In the given figure points G, D, E, F are points of a circle with centre C,
∠ECF = 70°, m (arc DGF) = 200°.
Find: (i) m (arc DE)
(ii) m (arc DEF).
Solution:
(2) Draw a circle with radius 3.6 cm. Draw a tangent to the circle at any point on it without using the centre.
(2) In the given figure, seg EF is a diameter and seg DF is a tangent segment.
The radius of the circle is r. Prove that, DE × GE = 4r2
