circle

OA= OB 1.1 Radii
AD = DB Given
1.2 OD is a common side
∴ Δ OAD ≡ Δ OBD 1.3 S SS

A D C
Given A, B and C are points on the circle with centre O
RTP: A O^ C = 2 A B^ C
Construction: Draw/ join BO to produce D
Statement Reason
OA = OB = OC 2.1 Radii
O^ 1 = B^ 1 + A^
= 2 B^ 1 Δ A O^ B
2.2 Exterior angles of
O^ = B^ + C^
2 2 Base angles of equal sides
= 2 B^ 2 Δ C O^ B
Exterior angles of
A O^ C = O^ 1 + O^ 2
= 2 B^ + 2 B^

B D
Given: A, B, C and D are 4 points on a circle with centre O
^ ^
Construction: A + C = 180°
Statement Reason
∠ at the centre is twice the ∠ at
O1 = 2 A^ circumference
O2 = 2 C^ ^
2 C - ∠ at the centre is twice the
angle at the circumference
O1 + O2 = 2 A^ + 2 C^ Angles around a point
O^ + O^ = 360 °

2( A^ + C^ )= 360 °
A^ + C^ = 180 °

1.2 Hence determine the length of GH
In Δ FOG : OF 2 =OG 2 +GF 2 Pythagoras Theorem substitution
122 =OG 2 +62 OG
144−36=OG 2 GH=OG-OH
OG 2 =108 substitution
simplification
OG=6 √3
∴GH=OG−OH answer
=6 √ 3−4 √ 5
