Homework due tomorrow

First one

From O.....draw a perpendicular bisector to chord DC...to meet DC at E

OE =  BA = 12

And DE  =  9

And....using the Pythagorean Theorem.....radius  OD =

sqrt ( OE^2 +  DE^2 )  =   sqrt (12^2 + 9^2 )  =  sqrt ( 144 + 81)  =  sqrt (225) =  15

Unsure about this...but....here's my best attempt

Angle ABC  =  (1/2)(16/21)(360)  =  960/7°

Angle PBC = [ 180 - 960/7]° = [300/7]°

Angle DCB =  (1/2)(8/21)(360)  = 480/7°

Angle PCB = [ 180 - 480/7] = [780/7]°

Angle BPC =  180 - [ 300/7] - [ 780/7]  = [180/7]°

3/sin (BPC)  = PB / sin (PCB)

PB  =   3*sin(780/7) / sin(180/7)  ≈  6.44

In cyclic quadrilaterla ABCD, AB=2, BC=3, CD=10, and DA=6.

Let P be the intersection of lines AB and CD.

Find the length BP.

\(\text{Let $BP =x$} \\ \text{Let $PA =2+x$} \\ \text{Let $PC =y$} \\ \text{Let $PD =10+y$} \)

\(\text{Let $\angle BPC = P $} \\ \text{Let $\angle CBP = B $} \\ \text{Let $\angle ABC = 180^\circ -B $} \\ \text{Let $\angle ADC = 180^\circ - \angle ABC =180^\circ-(180^\circ -B)=B $} \)

Intersecting secants theorem:

see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersecting_secants_theorem

\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline \mathbf{BP\cdot PA} &\mathbf{=}& \mathbf{PC\cdot PD} \quad | \quad \text{Intersecting secants theorem} \\\\ x\cdot (2+x) &=& y\cdot (10+y) \\ \hline \end{array} \)
