21

The distance between the chords is 21. By drawing a line through the center

O

perpendicular to both chords, we bisect chord

AB

at

M

(length 9) and chord

CD

at

N

(length 12). Using the Pythagorean theorem with the radius of 15, the perpendicular distance from the center to chord

AB

is

\sqrt{15^2 - 9^2} = 12

and to chord

CD

is

\sqrt{15^2 - 12^2} = 9

. Since the chords lie on opposite sides of the center, the total distance between them is the sum of these distances,

12 + 9 = 21

.

A circle has a radius of $10$ . A shaded sector of the circle has an area of $10\pi$ . What is the measure, in degrees, of the central angle of the shaded sector?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 36

Cevap

The measure of the central angle of the shaded sector is 36 degrees.

The total area of the circle is

A = \pi (10)^2 = 100\pi

. The shaded sector's area is

10\pi

, which represents

\frac{10\pi}{100\pi} = \frac{1}{10}

of the total area of the circle. Since a circle consists of

360^\circ

, the central angle of the sector is

\frac{1}{10} \times 360^\circ = 36^\circ

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total area of the circle.

Total area =

100\pi

The area of a circle is calculated using the formula

A = \pi r^2

where the radius

r = 10

.

2

Determine the proportion of the circle covered by the shaded sector.

Proportion =

\frac{1}{10}

Dividing the sector's area of

10\pi

by the total area of

100\pi

gives the fraction of the circle represented by the sector.

3

Find the central angle in degrees.

Central angle = 36

Since a full circle has a central angle of

360^\circ

, multiplying the proportion

\frac{1}{10}

by

360^\circ

yields the central angle of the sector.

Anahtar Kavram

Cevap: $24\pi$

Cevap

The circumference of the circle is

24\pi

.

The correct answer is

24\pi

. A full circle is

360^\circ

. A central angle of

60^\circ

represents

\frac{60^\circ}{360^\circ} = \frac{1}{6}

of the entire circle. Therefore, the length of the arc subtended by this angle is

\frac{1}{6}

of the total circumference. To find the circumference, we multiply the arc length by

6

:

4\pi \times 6 = 24\pi

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the fraction of the circle represented by the

60^\circ

central angle.

\frac{60^\circ}{360^\circ} = \frac{1}{6}

A full circle has a central angle of

360^\circ

, so the fraction of the circle is the ratio of the given central angle to

360^\circ

.

2

Set up the proportion relating the arc length to the total circumference (

C

).

\frac{1}{6} = \frac{4\pi}{C}

The ratio of the arc length to the total circumference equals the ratio of the central angle to the total degree measure of a circle.

3

Solve for the circumference (

C

) by multiplying both sides by

6

.

C = 6 \times 4\pi = 24\pi

Multiplying the arc length of the sector by the reciprocal of the fraction yields the total circumference of the circle.

Cevap: $\frac{2\pi}{9}$

Cevap

The correct answer is

\frac{2\pi}{9}

radians.

The correct answer is

\frac{2\pi}{9}

radians. First, the central angle

\angle AOC

has a measure of

\frac{5\pi}{9}

radians because it subtends an arc of the same measure. Since

OA

and

OC

are both radii of the circle, triangle

AOC

is isosceles with

OA = OC

, which means the base angles are equal:

\angle OAC = \angle OCA = \frac{\pi - 5\pi/9}{2} = \frac{2\pi}{9}

radians. Since chord

AC

is parallel to segment

OD

and the diameter

AB

acts as a transversal line, the corresponding angles

\angle OAC

and

\angle BOD

are equal, so

\angle BOD = \frac{2\pi}{9}

radians. Finally, because

A

,

O

, and

B

form a straight line, the angles along the diameter must sum to

\pi

radians:

\angle COD = \pi - \angle AOC - \angle BOD = \pi - \frac{5\pi}{9} - \frac{2\pi}{9} = \frac{2\pi}{9}

radians.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the measure of the central angle

\angle AOC

from the given arc measure.

The central angle

\angle AOC = \frac{5\pi}{9}

radians.

The measure of an arc in radians is equal to the measure of its subtended central angle.

2

Determine the measure of the inscribed angle

\angle OAC

using the properties of triangle

AOC

.

\angle OAC = \frac{2\pi}{9}

radians.

Since

OA

and

OC

are radii, triangle

AOC

is isosceles with

OA = OC

, meaning

\angle OAC = \angle OCA

. The sum of angles in a triangle is

\pi

radians, so

\angle OAC = \frac{\pi - \angle AOC}{2} = \frac{\pi - \frac{5\pi}{9}}{2} = \frac{2\pi}{9}

radians.

3

Use the parallel lines

AC

and

OD

to find the measure of angle

\angle BOD

.

\angle BOD = \frac{2\pi}{9}

radians.

Since chord

AC

is parallel to segment

OD

and diameter

AB

is a transversal line, the corresponding angles

\angle OAC

and

\angle BOD

are equal.

4

Calculate the measure of angle

COD

using the angles along the diameter

AB

.

\angle COD = \frac{2\pi}{9}

radians.

Points

A

,

O

, and

B

lie on a straight line, so the angles

\angle AOC

,

\angle COD

, and

\angle BOD

must sum to

\pi

radians. Therefore,

\angle COD = \pi - \angle AOC - \angle BOD = \pi - \frac{5\pi}{9} - \frac{2\pi}{9} = \frac{2\pi}{9}

radians.

A sector of a circle with center $O$ has an area of $54\pi$ . The perimeter of the sector is $36 + 6\pi$ . If the radius of the circle is an integer, what is the radius of the circle?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 18

Cevap

18

The area of a sector is given by

A = \frac{1}{2}rs

, where

r

is the radius and

s

is the arc length. Given

A = 54\pi

, we have

\frac{1}{2}rs = 54\pi

, which simplifies to

rs = 108\pi

, or

s = \frac{108\pi}{r}

. The perimeter of a sector is

P = 2r + s

. Given

P = 36 + 6\pi

, we can substitute

s

to get

2r + \frac{108\pi}{r} = 36 + 6\pi

. Multiplying the entire equation by

r

and rearranging terms yields the quadratic equation

2r^2 - (36 + 6\pi)r + 108\pi = 0

. Factoring by grouping gives

(2r - 6\pi)(r - 18) = 0

. This yields two potential solutions:

r = 3\pi

and

r = 18

. Since the radius is specified to be an integer, the correct answer is

18

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Relate sector area and perimeter to radius and arc length

Area =

\frac{1}{2}rs = 54\pi

and Perimeter =

2r + s = 36 + 6\pi

, where

r

is the radius and

s

is the arc length of the sector.

The area of a sector with radius

r

and arc length

s

is given by

\frac{1}{2}rs

, and its perimeter consists of the two radii plus the arc length.

2

Express arc length in terms of radius

s = \frac{108\pi}{r}

Isolating

s

from the area equation allows for substitution into the perimeter equation.

3

Substitute and form a quadratic equation

2r + \frac{108\pi}{r} = 36 + 6\pi \implies 2r^2 - (36 + 6\pi)r + 108\pi = 0

Multiplying both sides of the equation by

r

eliminates the fraction and forms a standard quadratic equation.

4

Factor the quadratic equation

(2r - 6\pi)(r - 18) = 0

Grouping the terms as

(2r^2 - 36r) - (6\pi r - 108\pi) = 0

allows us to factor out

2r(r - 18) - 6\pi(r - 18) = 0

.

Identify the integer radius

The two solutions to the equation are

r = 3\pi

In a circle, chords $AB$ and $CD$ intersect perpendicularly at point $E$ . If $AE = 35$ , $EB = 5$ , and $CE = 5$ , what is the length of the diameter of the circle?

Cevap: 50

Cevap

50

The correct answer is 50. By applying the intersecting chords theorem, the segment

ED

is found to be 35. Since the chords are perpendicular and intersect at point

E

, we can find the distance from the center of the circle to each chord by analyzing the distances from the intersection point to the midpoints of the chords. The midpoints of both chords are 20 units from their endpoints. The distance from

E

to the midpoint of

AB

is

35 - 20 = 15

. This distance is equal to the perpendicular distance from the center of the circle to the other chord,

CD

. Using the Pythagorean theorem with a chord half-length of 20 and a distance from the center of 15, the radius of the circle is

\sqrt{15^2 + 20^2} = 25

. Therefore, the diameter of the circle is

2 \times 25 = 50

Find the length of segment

ED

using the intersecting chords theorem.

ED = 35

For any two intersecting chords

AB

and

CD

intersecting at point

E

, the product of the segments of one chord equals the product of the segments of the other:

AE \cdot EB = CE \cdot ED

OT^2 + PT^2 = OP^2

. Substituting the known lengths yields

7^2 + PT^2 = 25^2

, which simplifies to

49 + PT^2 = 625

In a circle, chords $WY$ and $XZ$ intersect at point $P$ . The measure of minor arc $WX$ is $55^\circ$ and the measure of minor arc $YZ$ is $105^\circ$ . What is the measure, in degrees, of angle $WPX$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 80

Cevap

80

The correct answer is 80. According to the intersecting chords angle theorem, when two chords intersect inside a circle, the measure of the angle they form is half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs. Here, angle

WPX

and its vertical angle intercept minor arcs

WX

and

YZ

. Therefore, the measure of angle

WPX

is

\frac{55^\circ + 105^\circ}{2} = \frac{160^\circ}{2} = 80^\circ

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the geometric relationship for angles formed by intersecting chords inside a circle.

The measure of

\angle WPX

is equal to half the sum of the measures of its intercepted arc

WX

and the intercepted arc of its vertical angle, arc

YZ

.

By the intersecting chords angle theorem, the angle formed by two intersecting chords inside a circle is half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

2

Sum the measures of the intercepted arcs.

55^\circ + 105^\circ = 160^\circ

The measures of minor arcs

WX

and

YZ

are given as

55^\circ

and

105^\circ

respectively.

3

Divide the sum of the arc measures by 2.

80

Halving the sum of the arc measures (

160^\circ

) yields the measure of the angle:

\frac{160^\circ}{2} = 80^\circ

.

A perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord bisects that chord. For a chord of length

12

, the perpendicular split creates two segments of length

6

. Drawing a radius from the center to one of the chord's endpoints forms a right triangle with legs of

6

and

8

. By the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse (which is the radius

r

) satisfies

r^2 = 6^2 + 8^2 = 100

. The area of the circle is

\pi r^2 = 100\pi

. Thus, the coefficient

k

is

100

.

A line segment drawn perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord bisects the chord. Therefore, the distance from the midpoint of the chord to either endpoint is

12 / 2 = 6

.

2

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the square of the radius.

r^2 = 100

The radius, half of the chord, and the perpendicular distance form a right-angled triangle. According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared (

r^2

) is the sum of the squares of the legs:

r^2 = 6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100

.

Cevap: $44\pi$

Cevap

The area of the major sector is

44\pi

.

The area of the major sector is found by scaling the total area of the circle,

64\pi

, by the ratio of the major arc length to the circumference. The circumference is

2\pi(8) = 16\pi

. Since the minor arc length is

5\pi

, the major arc length is

16\pi - 5\pi = 11\pi

. The ratio of the major arc to the circumference is

\frac{11\pi}{16\pi} = \frac{11}{16}

. Multiplying this ratio by the total area of the circle yields

\frac{11}{16} \times 64\pi = 44\pi

The correct answer is the option containing

24\pi

. By using the relationship

A = \frac{1}{2}rs

, where

A

is the sector area,

r

is the radius, and

s

is the arc length, we substitute the given values to get

18\pi = \frac{1}{2}r(3\pi)

. Solving for the radius yields

r = 12

. Substituting this radius into the circumference formula

C = 2\pi r

gives

2\pi(12) = 24\pi

.

1

Write the formulas for arc length

s

and sector area

A

in terms of radius

r

and central angle

\theta

in radians.

s = r\theta = 3\pi

and

A = \frac{1}{2}r^2\theta = 18\pi

.

This sets up the system of equations using the given geometric properties.

2

Express the sector area formula in terms of arc length by substituting

s = r\theta

into

A = \frac{1}{2}r(r\theta)

.

A = \frac{1}{2}rs

, which becomes

18\pi = \frac{1}{2}r(3\pi)

.

This simplifies the relationship to a single equation with one variable,

r

.

3

Solve the equation

18\pi = 1.5\pi r

for the radius

r

.

r = 12

.

Finding the radius is necessary to calculate the circumference of the circle.

4

Substitute

r = 12

into the circumference formula

C = 2\pi r

.

C = 2\pi(12) = 24\pi

.

This provides the final circumference value requested by the question.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $5\pi$

Cevap

5\pi

To find the arc length, we first determine the radius of the circle using the sector area. The area of a sector with a central angle of

150^\circ

is

\frac{150}{360} = \frac{5}{12}

of the total circle area. Setting up the equation

15\pi = \frac{5}{12}\pi r^2

allows us to solve for

r^2 = 36

, which gives a radius of

r = 6

. Using the radius, we find the length of the minor arc by taking the same fraction of the total circumference:

\frac{5}{12} \times 2\pi(6) = 5\pi

. This matches the correct option.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set up the equation for the area of the sector to solve for the radius

r

.

15\pi = \frac{150}{360} \pi r^2

The area of a sector is given by the formula

A = \frac{\theta}{360} \pi r^2

, where

\theta

is the central angle in degrees.

2

Simplify the fraction and solve for

r^2

and

r

.

15\pi = \frac{5}{12} \pi r^2 \implies 15 = \frac{5}{12} r^2 \implies r^2 = 36 \implies r = 6

Dividing both sides by

\pi

and multiplying by

\frac{12}{5}

isolates

r^2

, and taking the square root gives the radius

r

.

3

Calculate the length of the minor arc using the radius and central angle.

Arc Length

= \frac{150}{360} \times 2\pi(6) = \frac{5}{12} \times 12\pi = 5\pi

The arc length formula is

L = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r

, representing the fraction of the total circumference.

The relationship between a circle's sector area, central angle, radius, and arc length.

Alternatif Yöntem

Instead of solving for the radius first, note that the ratio of the sector area to the total area is equal to the ratio of the arc length to the total circumference. Since Sector Area

= \frac{1}{2} r L

(where

L

is the arc length and

r

is the radius), we have

15\pi = \frac{1}{2} r L

. Since we also know that the area

15\pi = \frac{5}{12} \pi r^2 \implies r = 6

, substituting this directly into the area-arc relation gives

15\pi = \frac{1}{2} (6) L \implies 15\pi = 3L \implies L = 5\pi
