Question 18.

The angles of a triangle are in AP, and the greatest angle is double the least. Find all the angles in degrees and radians.


Answer:

Let a - d, a, a + d be the three angles of the triangle that form AP.
Given that the greatest angle is double the least.
Now, a + d = 2(a - d)
2a - 2d = a + d
a = 3d ……(1)
Now by angle sum property,
(a - d) + a + (a + d) = 180°
3a = 180°
a = 60° …… (2)
from (1) and (2),
3d = 60°
d = 20°
Now, the angles are,
a - d = 60°- 20° = 40°
a = 60°
a + d = 60° + 20° = 80°.


Therefore the required angles are 40° 60° 80°



Question 19.

The difference between the two acute angles of a right triangle is .


Answer:

The angle in degree =


= 36°


Let, two acute angles are x and y


so,


ATQ, x - y= 36°......(1)


x+ y= 90°......(2)


solving 1 & 2, we get;


⇒ 2x= 126°


⇒ x= 63°


putting the value of x in 2, we get;


⇒ 63°+ y= 90°


⇒ y= 27°


so, Two acute angles are 63° & 27°



Question 20.

Find the radius of a circle in which a central angle of 450 intercepts an arc of length 33 cm. (Take )


Answer:

Angle in radians =


θ= where θ is central angle, l=length of arc, r=radius


Therefore angle =


Now,


r=


=


Therefore radius is 42 cm



Question 21.

Find the length of an arc of a circle of radius 14 cm which subtends an angle of 360 at the centre


Answer:

Angle in radians =


θ= where θ is central angle, l=length of arc, r=radius


Therefore angle =


Now,


l = r × θ


=


Therefore the length of the arc is 8.8 cm



Question 22.

If the arcs of the same length in two circles subtend angles 750 and 1200 at the centre, find the ratio of their radii


Answer:

Angle in radians =


θ= where θ is central angle, l=length of arc, r=radius


Therefore =


=


l = r × θ


Now, as the length is the same


Therefore,




Therefore the ratio of their radii is 8 : 5



Question 23.

Find the degree measure of the angle subtended at the centre of a circle of diameter 60 cm by an arc of length 16.5 cm.


Answer:

Angle in radians =


θ= where θ is central angle, l=length of arc, r=radius


Now,


= and r = 0.5 x diameter


= radians


θ in degrees =


θ in minutes = 0.5 x 60 = 30’


Therefore angle subtended at the center is 31° 30’



Question 24.

In a circle of diameter 30 cm, the length of a chord is 15 cm. Find the length of the minor arc of the chord.


Answer:

Diameter = 30 cm


Length of chord = 15 cm


Radius = 15 cm [ r = 0.5 x diameter ]


Since the radius is equal to the length of the chord


Hence the formed triangle in the circle is an equilateral triangle.


θ = 60°


We know that l = r × θ


l = = 5 x 3.14 = 15.7


Therefore, the length of the minor arc is 15.7 cm



Question 25.

Find the angle in radians as well as in degrees through which a pendulum swings if its length is 45 cm and its tip describes an arc of length 11 cm


Answer:

We know that l = r × θ


Here l = length of arc = 11 cm


R = radius = length of pendulum = 45 cm


We need to find θ


11 = 45 x θ



θ in degree =



Question 26.

The large hand of a clock Is 42 cm long. How many centimetres does its extremity move in 20 minutes?


Answer:

For 20 minutes = θ = 4 x 30° = 120°


We know that l = r × θ


l =


Therefore, the length is equal to 88 cm.



Question 27.

A wheel makes 180 revolutions in 1 minute. Through how many radians does it turn in 1 second?


Answer:

Given that Number of revolutions per minute = 180


Then per second, it will be = 180/60 =3


We know that In one complete revolution, the wheel turns at an angle of 2 rad.


Then for 3 complete revolutions, it will take 3 × 2 = 6 radians.



Question 28.

A train is moving on a circular curve of radius 1500 m at the rate of 66 km per hour. Through what angle has it turned in 10 seconds?


Answer:

Radius = 1500 m.


Train speed at rate of 66km/hr = 18.33 m/s


Therefore, Distance covered in 1 second = 18.33 m


Distance covered in 10 second = 18.33 × 10 = 183.33m


We know that θ = Distance / radius


θ = 183.33 / 1500


= 0.122 radian


Therefore θ =



Question 29.

A wire of length 121 cm is bent so as to lie along the arc of a circle of radius 180 cm. Find in degrees; the angle subtended at the centre by the arc.


Answer:

θ will be in degrees.


Arc-length can be given by the formula : θ / 360° × 2πr


Hence it is given that 121 cm is the arclength.


⇒ 121 = θ / 360° × 2πr


= 121 = θ / 360° × 2 × 22 / 7 × 180


= 121 = θ / 360° × 360 × 22 / 7


= 121 = θ × 22 / 7


⇒ θ = 121 × 7 / 22


= 38.5°


Hence the angle subtended at the middle is 38.5°


Which can also be written as 38° 30.’



Question 30.

The angles of a quadrilateral are in AP, and the greatest angle is double the least. Express the least angle in radians.


Answer:

Let the smallest term be x, and the largest term be 2x


Then AP formed= x, ?, ?, 2x


so,




360°= 4/2 [x+ 2x]....[We know that → a+(n-1) d= last term= 2x]


⇒ 180°= 3x


⇒ x= 60°


Now, 60° is least angle.


= 60°= π/180° × 60°


⇒ 60° = π/3 rad
