Worksheet: Higher Order Thinking Skills


(HOTS)
Class IX – Mathematics
Chapter: Circles

Q1. In a circle with centre O, two chords AB and CD are equal in


length but are not diameters. Prove that they are equidistant from
the centre.
Q2. The perpendicular distance of a chord from the centre of a
circle is 5 cm. If the radius of the circle is 13 cm, find the length of
the chord. Explain each step.
Q3. In a circle of radius 10 cm, a chord is at a distance of 6 cm
from the centre. Another chord is at a distance of 8 cm from the
centre. Without calculating their lengths, state which chord is
longer and justify your answer.
Q4. Two equal chords of a circle intersect at a point inside the
circle but not at the centre. What can you say about the distances of
the chords from the centre? Give reasons.
Q5. In a circle, the radius is perpendicular to a chord AB at point
D. If AD = 6 cm and radius = 10 cm, find the length of the chord
AB. Explain the geometric principle used.
Q6. If a chord of a circle is equal to the radius of the circle, find the
distance of the chord from the centre.
Q7. Prove that the line joining the centre of a circle to the midpoint
of a chord is perpendicular to the chord.
Q8. A circle has radius 14 cm. Find the length of the chord which
is at a distance of 7 cm from the centre. What do you observe
about the chord and radius?
Q9. Two concentric circles have radii 10 cm and 17 cm. Find the
length of the chord of the larger circle which touches the smaller
circle.
Q10. If two circles are congruent, prove that their corresponding
chords are equal in length when they are equidistant from their
respective centres.
Q11. In a circle, a chord subtends an angle of 90° at the centre.
Find the length of the chord if the radius is 14 cm.
Q12. A chord of a circle is 24 cm long and its distance from the
centre is 5 cm. Find the radius of the circle.
Q13. Prove that among all the chords of a circle, the diameter is
the longest chord.
Q14. The distance between two parallel chords of a circle is 6 cm.
If one chord is at a distance of 2 cm from the centre, find the
distance of the other chord from the centre.
Q15. In a circle of radius 15 cm, find the length of the chord whose
distance from the centre is equal to half the radius.
Q16. If the distance of a chord from the centre of a circle is
increased, what happens to the length of the chord? Justify your
answer logically.
Q17. In a circle, two chords AB and CD intersect at point P such
that AP = CP. What can you say about the lengths of chords AB
and CD? Explain.
Q18. Find the radius of a circle in which a chord of length 16 cm is
at a distance of 6 cm from the centre.
Q19. Prove that equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the
centre.
Q20. A chord of a circle is 12 cm away from the centre and its
length is 10 cm. Is this possible? Justify your answer
mathematically.
