Let ∠D = θ
∠B =180° – θ
22. Answer (21)
Let CA touch the circle at R and CB touch the
circle at S.
AC 2 =
20 + 99 – 2( 20 )( 99 )cos θ
AC 2 =
22 + 97 – 2( 22)( 97 )cos(180 – θ)
⇒ AC 2 119 – 2 20 99 cos θ
=
Since PR = PS
and AC 2 =
119 + 2 22 97 cos θ
Right-angled ∆’s PRC and PSC are congruent.
∴ 119 – 2 20 99 cos=
θ 119 + 2( 22)( 97 )cos θ
Hence, CP bisects ∠ACB.
Given 2cos θ ( )
22 97 + 20 99 =
0 By angle bisector theorem
⇒ cos θ= 0 or θ= 90° AP AC 7
= =

∴ AC = 20 + 99 = 119 PB BC 5

∴ R2 =
