Dear Peter problem 890 has more conclusions than problem 772

ReplyDeleteSince BD and DF are diameters of circles O and O’ so ∠(BPD)= ∠(DPF)= 90
So B, P and E are collinear.
We have ∠(CPB)= ∠(FPG)= 45 ( angles face 90 degrees arc)
So C, P, G are collinear.
Since AC and EG are diameters of circles O and O’ => AP ⊥ CPG and PE ⊥ CPG
So A,E and P are collinear
Let AE and CG intersect at a point Q, then we need to prove that Q,D,A,C,B concylic.
ReplyDelete∠QAD = ∠EAD = arctan(ED/AD) = arctan(DG/CD) = ∠GCD = ∠QCD
So Q,D,A,C concylic and the result follows.
