Tangents Chords
1. **Problem statement:** Given a circle with center $O$, diameter $AB$, tangent line $ED$ at $C$, angle $\angle A = 36^\circ$, $AO = 12$, and chord $CD = 9$, solve for various angles and lengths as well as the area of the circle.
2. Since $AB$ is a diameter, $AO = OB = 12$, so radius $r = 12$.
3. a) Find $m \angle BC$:
- Note that point $C$ lies on the circle, forming triangle $ABC$.
- $\angle A = 36^\circ$ given.
- Since $AB$ is diameter, $\angle ACB = 90^\circ$ by Thales' theorem.
- Using the fact that angles in triangle $ABC$ sum to $180^\circ$,
$$m \angle BC + m \angle AC + m \angle A = 180^\circ,$$
and since $m \angle A = 36^\circ$ and $m \angle C = 90^\circ$,
$$m \angle BC = 180^\circ - 36^\circ - 90^\circ = 54^\circ.$$
4. b) $m \angle AC$ is the angle at $A$ subtended by chord $AC$:
- From triangle $ABC$, we get $m \angle AC = 90^\circ$ because $\angle C$ is a right angle at the circumference opposite to diameter $AB$.
5. c) Find $m \angle OCE$:
- Since $ED$ is tangent at point $C$, $\angle OCE$ is the angle between radius $OC$ and tangent $ED$.
- The tangent is perpendicular to radius at point of tangency, so
$$m \angle OCE = 90^\circ.$$
6. d) Find $m \angle AOC$:
- $\triangle AOC$ is isosceles with $AO = OC = 12$ (radii).
- Use $m \angle A = 36^\circ$ which subtends arc $AC$, so central angle $m \angle AOC = 2 \times m \angle AC = 2 \times 36^\circ = 72^\circ$ by the inscribed angle theorem.
7. e) Find $m \angle CDB$:
- $D$ lies on line through $B$ and $CD = 9$.
- Since $AB$ is diameter and $C$ is on circle, $\angle CDB$ subtends chord $CB$ and is equal to $\angle CAB= 36^\circ$ because angles subtending same chord are equal.
8. f) Find $m \angle CBD$:
- In triangle $CBD$, sum of angles is $180^\circ$.
- $m \angle CDB = 36^\circ$ from (e).
- $m \angle CBD$ is complementary angle to $m \angle BCD$, but without extra info, assume
$$m \angle CBD = 54^\circ$$ because $36^\circ + 54^\circ + 90^\circ =180^\circ$ where $m \angle BCD$ is right angle from tangent property.
9. g) Find $m \angle DCB$:
- This is angle between chord $CD$ and $CB$ at $C$.
- Since $ED$ tangent at $C$ and $CD$ chord, $m \angle DCB = m \angle CBD = 54^\circ$.
10. h) Find length $OC$:
- Radius $OC = 12$ because $C$ lies on circle.
11. i) Find length $BD$:
- Since $AB = 24$, and $CD = 9$, use Pythagorean or segment properties.
- $BD = BC + CD$.
- $BC$ can be found by law of cosines in $\triangle BOC$ or by chord length formula.
- Using law of cosines in $\triangle BOC$ with $OB=12$, $OC=12$, $m \angle BOC = 2 \times 54^\circ = 108^\circ$ (central angle opposite arc $BC$),
$$BC=\sqrt{12^2 + 12^2 - 2\times12\times12\times\cos 108^\circ} = \sqrt{288-288\times \cos 108^\circ}.$$
- $\cos 108^\circ = -\cos 72^\circ = -0.3090$, so
$$BC = \sqrt{288 + 288 \times 0.3090} = \sqrt{288 + 89} = \sqrt{377} = \frac{\sqrt{377}}{1}.$$
- Thus,
$$BD = BC + CD = \sqrt{377} + 9.$$
12. j) Area of $\odot O$:
- Area formula is
$$\pi r^2 = \pi \times 12^2 = 144 \pi.$$
**Final answers:**
- a) $m \angle BC = 54^\circ$

- c) $m \angle OCE = 90^\circ$
- d) $m \angle AOC = 72^\circ$
- e) $m \angle CDB = 36^\circ$

- j) Area $= 144\pi$
