Geometry : Circle

2011-10-22 3:12 am
A and B are 2 circles with different radius that intersects at 2 point X and Y. PQ is a common tangent of the 2 circles that touches the circles at P and Q respectively. Chord XY produces and cut the common tangent PQ at point M, prove that PM = MQ. [ Prove by co - ordinate geometry not acceptable.]

ㄥPXY = ㄥYPM (∠in alt. segment)
ㄥXMP = ㄥPMY (common)
∴ △XMP ~ △PMY (A.A.)

Therefore
MP : MY = MX : MP
MP² = MY * MX

Similarly ,
MQ² = MY * MX

Hence MP² = MQ²
MP = MQ

Q.E.D.
