8)Circle O is tangent to AB at A, and angle ABD = 90 degrees. If AB = 12 and CD = 18, find the radius of the circle.

 

We have the secant-tangent theorem, first

 

AB^2  = CB (CB + CD)

12^2  = CB^2 + 18CB

CB^2  + 18CB - 144   = 0    factor as 

 

(CB - 6)  ( CB + 18)  = 0

 

The frist answer  gives the positive answer  for  CB - 6 =  0  ⇒  CB  = 6

 

Draw AC    ......and the tangent of  angle BAC  =   6/12   =  1/2   

 

So   arctan (1/2)  = BAC....and minor arc  AC  is twice this  = 2 arctan (1/2) 

 

And  AC  =  √   ( BA^2  + BC^2)  = √  (12^2  + 6^2)  = √ (144 + 36)  =  √160

 

Draw  OC  and OA    and angle  COA  = minor arc AC  =  2 arctan (1/2) 

 

Using the Law of Cosines to find the radius.....we have that

 

160  = 2r^2  - 2r^2 * cos (2 arctan (1/2) )  

 

Let   cos (2arctan(1/2) )  =   1  - 2sin^2 ( arctan(1/2) ) ⇒  sin (arctan (1/2) )  = 1/ √5  ....so we have

 

  1  -  2(1/√5)^2   =  1 - 2/5  = 3/5  = .6 

 

160  = 2r^2 - 2r^2 (.6)

 

160  = r^2  ( 2 - 1.2)

 

160 = r^2 (.8)

 

200  = r^2

 

r  = √200  =    10√2

9)In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, AB = 2, BC = 3, CD = 10, and DA = 6. Let P be the intersection of lines AB and CD. Find the length BP.

 

Draw AC

 

AC^2  =  2^2  + 3^2   -  2(3)(2)cos (ABC)  

AC^2  = 13  - 12cos(ABC)   (1)

And since ABC is obtuse and ADC  is supplemental to ABC, cos(ADC)  = -cos(ABC)

So

AC^2   = 6^2  + 10^2 - 2(6)(10)cos(ADC)

AC^2  = 6^2 + 10^2  - 120 [ -cos(ABC) ]

AC^2  = 6^2 + 10^2 + 120cos(ABC)   

AC^2  = 136 + 120cos(ABC)   (2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

0  = 123  + (120 + 12) cos(ABC)

0  =  123  + 132cos(ABC)

-123 / 132  =  cos (ABC)

-41/44 = cos(ABC)   

So  sin (ABC)  =  √ [ 1 -  (41/44)^2 ]  =   √ (255) / 44   =  sin PBC

 

Likewise.....draw  DB

DB^2  = 6^2  + 2^2  - 2(6)(2)cos(DAB)

DB^2  = 40 - 24cos(DAB)

And sincw DAB is obtuse and DCB is supplemental to DCB, cos(DCB) = -cos(DAB)

So

DB^2  = 10^2 + 3^2  - 2(10)(3)cos(DCB)

DB^2 =  10^2 + 3^2  - 60 [-cos(DAB) ]  

DB^2   =  109 + 60cos(DAB)

Subtract (3) from (4)

0  = 69 + (60 + 24) cos(DAB)

-69/84  = cos(DAB)

-23/28  = cos(DAB)

So sin (DAB)  = √  [ 1 - (23/28)^2 ]  = √ (255)/28  =  sin PCB

 

sin PBC / sin PCB   = PC/ PB

(√ (255) / 44)  / ( √ (255)/28)  = PC / PB

28 / 44 = PC /PB

7/11 = PC /PB

PC   =  (7/11)PB

 

And we have that

 

(PB + AB) * PB   = PC(PC + CD)

(PB + 2) * PB  = (7/11)PB [ (7/11)PB + 10)

PB^2 + 2PB  =  (49/121)PB^2 + (70/11)PB

 

Let PB  = x

 

x^2 + 2x =  (49/121)x^2 + (70/11)x

(121 - 49) x^2 / 121   +  (2 - 70/11)x  = 0

(72/121)x^2  -  (48/11)x  = 0

(1/11)x [ (72/11)x - 48 ] = 0

 

So..... either x  =  0   {reject}    or

 

(72/11)x  - 48  = 0

(72/11)x  =  48

  x =  48(11)/72  =  (2/3) * 11  =   22/3   =  PB  = BP

 

Proof   {PC  = (7/11)PB  =  (7/11)(22/3)  = 14/3 }

 

(PB + AB) * PB   = PC(PC + CD)

 

(22/3 + 2) * (22/3)  =  (14/3) * ( 14/3 + 10)

 

616 / 9    =   616 / 9
