2. Solve these questions (any five)

i.

----------

4X5=20

Prove that The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point
of contact

ii.

Prove that the lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.

iii.

iv.

fig.2

PQ is a chord of length 8 cm of a circle of radius 5 cm. The tangents at P and Q intersect at a

point T (see Fig. 2) Find the length TP.

v.

Prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary

angles at the centre of the circle.

vi.

Prove that the angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is
supplementary to the angle subtended by the line-segment joining the points of contact at the
centre.

vii.

The length of a tangent from a point A at distance 5 cm from the centre of the circle is 4 cm.
Find the radius of the circle.
