How many circles can pass through three non collinear

non collinear points .
 How many circles can pass through three collinear

Why ?
 Line and circle in a plane
We know that there is no circle passing through three
collinear points .
Now observe the following figure . we come to know that
three types of pairs of a line and circle are possible.
 Tangent

Secant

A
 Tangent
Consider the following example that a wheel ( circle ) and
surface of road as a line .

The above illustration shows that a line and a circle have

only one point in common . In such situation the line is
called a tangent to a circle.
Common Point between Circle and Line.
 Tangent and its properties
When a secant rotate through a point
l

M
 From the above figure we observe that the
length of chord becomes smaller and smaller
.Ultimately the secant attains the position of the line l
when it becomes tangent to the circle at point M.
Therefore a line in the plane of circle which intersects
the circle in one and only one point is called a tangent
of the circle and the common point of intersection is
known as a point of contact.
Now we prove some theorem’s about tangent.
1) Tangent –Radius theorem
 Theorem : A tangent at any point of circle is
perpendicular to the radius through the point
of contact.
O
Given : line ‘ l ’ is the tangent to the
circle with centre O at the point
M l of contact M.
To Prove :- Line l seg OM
Proof :- Suppose line l is not
perpendicular to seg OM . Draw
O
perpendicular from O to the line l and
P be foot of the perpendicular . By
assumption the point M is distinct
M P Q l from P . Let Q be the point on the
line l such that M – P – Q and
MP = PQ
Then in OPM and OPQ ,
seg OP seg OP ….( common side )
 OPM  OPQ … ( OP line l )
O

seg PM seg PQ ….. ( by construction )

OPM OPQ ….. ( S-A-S test )
seg OM seg OQ ….. ( c.s.c.t. ) M P Q
OM = OQ
The point Q is also on the circle .
The point Q is different from the point M and
on the line l .
The line l intersects the circle in two points
M and Q , which contradicts the definition of
tangent. Therefore , our assumption is wrong.
Line l seg OM
 Number of Tangents to a Circle Through a Given
Point.
Case I . If point P is on the circle.
There is only one tangent passing through the point on the circle.

P
 Case II . Point P is inside the circle.
If the point P is inside the circle then every line through P intersects
the circle in two different points and hence none of these lines is a
tangent to the circle.

P
 Case III . Point P is outside the circle.
There are two tangents to a circle passing through an external point
of the circle.

R
Theorem : The lengths of the two tangent segments to
a circle drawn from an external point are
equal.
Given :

point P of the circle and the two

tangents through the point P are
