Circle Geometry (Part 4)

This one is slightly harder:

Think:
Is rad ^ tang?
Is tan chord theorem?
Rider 2
PQ is a tangent to the circle at C
AEB and ADC are straight lines
PQ AB

Think:
A i) Z alternate
ii) F corresponding
iii) ‘ ’ cointerior

can you see how we used C​

Can you see how much of this problem needed Grade 9 theory?
So, please revise your basic parallel line and triangle theory as well.

Combined Grade 11 and Grade 12 Geometry
Perhaps one of the riders in your year-end examination will combine the proportion and similarity theory
from Grade 11 with the Theory of Circles done in Grade 12.
So, .... just a quick recap of Grade 11 Theory.
Theorem 1 A

B E

C D
AB ___ AE
If in ∆ ACD BE CD then • ​ ___
BC  ​= ​ ED  ​ AB. ED = AE. BC
D AB  AE
• ​ ___ ___
AC  ​ =​ AD  ​  AB. AD = AE. AC
E
BC ___ ED
• ​ ___
CA  ​ = ​ DA  ​  BC. DA = ED. CA

A B C
AB ___
___ AE
and conversely if ​ BC  ​= ​ ED  ​then BE CD
So let’s see how we can mix this into Grade 12
Given: Cyclic quad with A,B,C and E on
A
circumference DE = DC
E
2 1 a) Prove EC AB
1
b) If ED = _
​ 3  ​AD and BC = 42
D
2 1
find CD
C
B
^
​  1 = x
a) Let E​
^ ^
​  1 = x
​E​ 1 = C​ (Isos D DE = DC)
^ ^
​  = x
​E​ 1 = B​ (ext ∠ cyclic quad)
^ ^
now ​C​ 1 = B​​  = x
\ EC AB (equal corresp ∠ s)
ED _ 1 ___ DC
b) now ​ ___AD  ​ = ​ 3 ​  = ​ DB ​ (line one side of D)
BC 2 ___ 42
so ___
​ CD  ​ = _​ 1 ​  = ​ CD  ​ 
\ CD = 21

GETTING THE SIMILAR Ds IN THE RIGHT ORDER IS VITAL

Now look at this RIDER (freakishly like the previous one!)
