Problem
A circle has center on the side of the cyclic quadrilateral
. The other three sides are tangent to the circle. Prove that
.
Solutions
Solution 1
Let be the center of the circle mentioned in the problem. Let
be the second intersection of the circumcircle of
with
. By measures of arcs,
. It follows that
. Likewise,
, so
, as desired.
Solution 2
Let be the center of the circle mentioned in the problem, and let
be the point on
such that
. Then
, so
is a cyclic quadrilateral and
is in fact the
of the previous solution. The conclusion follows.
Solution 3
Let the circle have center and radius
, and let its points of tangency with
be
, respectively. Since
is clearly a cyclic quadrilateral, the angle
is equal to half the angle
. Then
Likewise, . It follows that
,
Q.E.D.
Solution 4
We use the notation of the previous solution. Let be the point on the ray
such that
. We note that
;
; and
; hence the triangles
are congruent; hence
and
. Similarly,
. Therefore
, Q.E.D.
Possible solution, maybe bogus?
The only way for AD and BC to be tangent to circle O and have AB pass through O is if and
are both 90. But since ABCD is cyclic, the other angles must be 90 as well. Now call the point of tangency of CD E, and since AO=EO, AEOD is a square. Similarily, BCEO is a square, too, so DA=AO and CB=BO. Therefore, AD+BC=AB.
Solution 6
Let P be intersection of rays and
.
Lemma. A circle passes through points , any points
