2
larger circle which touches the smaller circle.
10 In figure, two circles touch each other at the point C. Prove that the common tangent to the

segments BD and DC are respectively of lengths 6 cm and 9 cm. If the area of ABC is 54
cm2, then find the lengths of sides AB and AC.
14 A quadrilateral ABCD is drawn so that D = 90°, BC = 38 cm and CD = 25 cm. A circle is
inscribed in the quadrilateral and it touches the side AB, BC, CD and DA at P, Q, R and S
respectively. If BP = 27 cm, find the radius of the inscribed circle.

Varun has been selected by his School to design logo for Sports Day T-shirts for students
and staff . The logo design is as given in the figure and he is working on the fonts and
16 different colours according to the theme. In given figure, a circle with centre O is inscribed
in a ΔABC, such that it touches the sides AB, BC and CA at points D, E and F respectively.
The lengths of sides AB, BC and CA are 12 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm respectively. [CBSE
