Problem
A circle with center at and radius and a line which doesn't have a common point with are given. Let be the foot of the perpendicular from to . An arbitrary point different from is chosen on and the two tangents are drawn from to which touch the circle at points and . If is the intersection of and , prove that .
Solution
Let be the intersection of and . Since we get hence . On the other hand, since , we have . Therefore . We get .
