Let A, B, C be three points on a circle

with AB = BC. Let the tangents at A and

B meet at D. Let DC meet again

at E. Prove that the line AE bisects the segment

BD. (Hint: Why do we care about a chord bisecting a tangent line?)​


Sagot :

The proof that the line AE bisects the segment can be seen below.

How to get the proof

Let us have

Γ1  and 2 are the two intersecting circles. to be the circumcircle of the shape ADE. Then we can see that  Γ1 is tangent to the line DB.

A common tangent would have to touch T1 at A and also touch T2 at B

Such that what we would have would be

<ADB = 180◦ − 2<ABD = <ABC = <AEC

This would then tell us that the line is tangent to the segment.
