Q1 of 9 Page 29

Fill in the blanks.

In the circle with centre O shown alongside,



(1) Seg OD is a ………… .


(2) Seg AB is a ………… .


(3) SEg PQ is a ……….. .


(4) The length of seg AB is …………. that of se OD.

Given: O is a centre of a circle.


Firstly, we need to know what is radius, diameter, chord?



Radius: Any line segment connecting the centre of a circle to any point of a circle.


Chord: A line segment joining any two points of a circle.



Diameter: The chord of a circle which passes through the centre of the circle.


This means, diameter is the longest chord of a circle.


Also, diameter of a circle = 2 r, where r = radius



From the definition defined above and by the given figure in question we can answer the given question


(1) Seg OD is a radius


(2) Seg AB is a diameter


(3) SEg PQ is a chord


(4) The length of seg AB is twice that of seg OD.


Explanation: seg OD is a radius and seg AB is a diameter and we have seen above that diameter is twice of radius.
