Circles (Tangents & Secants) Formulas — Class 10 ICSE

Study tangent properties, alternate segment theorem, and intersecting chords.

Key Formulas

Tangent-Radius

\text{Tangent} \perp \text{Radius}

Tangent Lengths

PA = PB \text{ (from external point)}

Alternate Segment

\text{Angle between tangent and chord} = \text{Angle in alternate segment}

Intersecting Chords

PA \times PB = PC \times PD

Tangent-Secant

PT^2 = PA \times PB

Worked Examples

1Using: Area of Circle

Find the area of a circle with radius 7 cm.

Step 1: Area = pi x r^2

Step 2: = 22/7 x 49 = 154 sq. cm.

Answer: 154 sq. cm

2Using: Circumference

Find the circumference of a circle with radius 14 cm.

Step 1: C = 2 x pi x r

Step 2: = 2 x 22/7 x 14 = 88 cm.

Answer: 88 cm
