Let a circle be obtained on rolling the circle upwards 4 units on the tangent T to it at the point (3, 2). Let be the image of in T. Let A and B be the centers of circles and respectively, and M and N be respectively the feet of perpendiculars drawn from A and B on the x-axis. Then the area of the trapezium AMNB is: [2023]
(3)
We have, ...(i)
Centre = (2, 3); Radius
Tangent at is,
On rolling the given circle (i) upwards 4 units on the tangent , centre of the circle also moves upwards 4 units on . Let the centre of the new circle be .

Since, slope of tangent = Slope of line joining two centres of the circle.
Then the increment in both coordinates will be same.
From figure,

Hence, the centre of circle is and radius remains same .
Equation of circle is
The centre of circle is the image of in , then
The centre of circle is
Feet of perpendicular from and on the -axis are respectively.
