Solution:
Given:
Two Congruent Circles C1 and C2
AB is the chord of C1
and PQ is the chord of C2
AB = PQ
To Prove: Angle subtended by the Chords AB and PQ are equal i.e. ∠AOB = ∠PXQ
Proof:
In △AOB & △PXQ
AO = PX (Radius of congruent circles are equal)
BO = QX (Radius of congruent circles are equal)
AB = PQ (Given)
△AOB ⩭ △PXQ (SSS congruence rule)
Therefore, ∠AOB = ∠PXQ (CPCT)
Solution:
Given:
Two Congruent circles C1 and C2
AB is the chord of C1 and PQ is chord of C2
& ∠AOB = ∠PXQ
To prove :
In △AOB and △PXQ ,
AO = PX (Radius of congruent circles are equal)
∠AOB = ∠PXQ (Given)
BO = QX (Radius of congruent circles are equal)
△AOB ⩭ △PXQ (SAS congruence rule)
Therefore, AB = PQ (CPCT)

(ii) One point common
(iii) One point common
(iv) No point common

As we can analyse from above, two circles can cut each other maximum at two points.
Solution:
Let the circle be C1
We need to find its centre.
Step 1: Take points P, Q, R on the circle
Step 2: Join PR and RQ.
We know that perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through centre
So, we construct perpendicular bisectors of PR and RQ
Step 3: Take a compass. With point P as pointy end and R as pencil end of the compass, mark an arc above and below PR. Do same with R as pointy end P as pencil end of the compass.
Step 4: Join points intersected by the arcs.
The line formed is the perpendicular bisector of PR.
Step 5: Take compass, with point R as pointy end and Q as pencil end of the compass mark an arc above and below RQ.
Do the same with Q as pointy end and R as pencil end of the compass
Step 6: Join the points intersected by the arcs.
The line formed is the perpendicular bisector of RQ.
Step 7: The point where two perpendicular bisectors intersect is the centre of the circle. Mark it as point O.
Thus, O is the centre of the given circle.
Solution:
Given,
Let circle C1 have centre O and circle C2 have centre X, PQ is the common chord.
To prove: OX is the perpendicular bisector of PQ i.e.
1. PR = RQ
2. ∠PRO = ∠PRX = ∠QRO = ∠QRX = 90°
Construction:
Join PO, PX, QO, QX
Proof:
In △POX and △QOX
OP = OQ (Radius of circle C1)
XP = XQ (Radius of circle C2)
OX = OX (Common)
∴ △POX ≅ △QOX (SSS Congruence rule)
∠POX = ∠QOX (CPCT) ----(1)
Also,
In △POR and △QOR
OP = OQ (Radius of circle C1)
∠POR = ∠QOR ( From (1))
OR = OR (Common)
∴ △OPX ≅ △OQX (SAS Congruence Rule)
PR = QR (CPCT)
& ∠PRO = ∠QRO (CPCT) ----(2)
Since PQ is a line
∠PRO + ∠QRO = 180° (Linear Pair)
∠PRO + ∠PRO= 180° ( From (2))
2∠PRO = 180°
∠PRO = 180° / 2
∠PRO = 90°
Therefore,
∠QRO = ∠PRO = 90°
Also,
∠PRX = ∠QRO = 90° (Vertically opposite angles)
∠QRX = ∠PRO = 90° (Vertically opposite angles)
Since, ∠PRO = ∠PRX = ∠QRO = ∠QRX = 90°
∴ OX is the perpendicular bisector of PQ

Now in ∆POR,OP=QR [ Radii of same circle]
∠P=∠R and let each =x.
∴∠P+∠O+∠R=180° [angle sum property of ∆]
x+160°+x=180°-160°

Adding 90° on each sides
∠1+90°=∠2+90°
∠1+∠EDC=∠2+FCD
∠ADC=∠BCD
∠D=∠C 2
Now,
∠A+∠A+∠C+∠C=360°
2∠A+2∠C=360°
2(∠A+∠C)=360°
∠A+∠C=360°/2=190°

∠A=∠C [opposite angle of ||gm]
∴∠A=∠C=(180°)/2=90°
∠A=90°
∠C=90°
Similarly,
∠B+∠D=180°
∴∠B=∠D =(180°)/2=90° ----------[opposite of a ||gm]
Each angle of ABCD is 90°

r2=(6-x)2+(2.5)2
r2=36+x2=12x+6.25
r2=x2-12x+42.25 -----------2
Now equating equation 1 and 2
X2+30.25=x2-12x+30.25
12x=42.25-30.25
X=12/12=1
Putting value of x in equation 1
r2=x2+30.25
r2=(1)2+30.25
