α. Determine the measures of the angles and .
β. If is the center of the circumcircle of the triangle and is the antipodal of , prove that the distance of from is .
Solution
α. Since and , , we have
β. Since , it follows that . Moreover we have Therefore Figure 4
β. Since , it follows that . Moreover we have Therefore Figure 4
Final answer
B = 60°, Γ = 15°; and the perpendicular distance from Γ to the line BΔ equals BΔ/4.
