60°
100°
90°
(4)
Draw CM perpendicular to AB.

Now, AM = MC and MB = MC (tangents drawn from external point are equal).
⇒ AM = MC
⇒ = = 45°
(Since Δ AMC is right triangle)
∴ Also, MB = MC ⇒ = = 45° (Since Δ MBC is right angle triangle)
∴ = + = 45° + 45° = 90° ⇒ = 90°
If the circumference of a circle and the perimeter of a square are equal, then
Area of the circle = Area of the square
Area of the circle > Area of the square

In Fig, O is the centre of the circle. MN is the chord and the tangent ML at point M makes an angle of 70° with MN. The measure of ∠MON is:

120°
140°
70°
90°
(2)
As ML is tangent at M and OM is radius of the circle, therefore ∠OML = 90°
⇒ ∠OMN + ∠NML = 90°
⇒ ∠OMN + 70° = 90° ⇒ ∠OMN = 20°
In ΔOMN, we have OM = ON (? radii of circle)
⇒ ∠OMN = ∠ONM = 20° (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Also, ∠OMN + ∠MON + ∠ONM = 180°
⇒ 20° + ∠MON + 20° = 180°
⇒ ∠MON = 180° – 40° = 140°
In Fig. PQ is a tangent to the circle with centre O. If ∠OPQ = x, ∠POQ = y, then x + y is:

(2)
Since PQ is tangent at Q to the circle and OQ is radius,
∴ OQ ? PQ ⇒ ∠OQP = 90°
In ΔPOQ, we have
∠OQP + ∠OPQ + ∠POQ = 180° [Angle Sum Property of triangle]
⇒ 90° + x + y = 180°
⇒ x + y = 180° – 90° = 90°
