1.1
In ∆BCE, BC = CE
̂2 = E
B ̂1 ∠𝑠 opp = sides, BC = CE SR
̂2 = 𝑥
∴B
̂1 = B
D ̂2 Ext ∠ of cyclic quad BCDE SR
̂1 = 𝑥 CA
∴D
1.2
̂1 = D
D ̂2 Given
̂2 = 𝑥
∴D
̂1 = D
B ̂2 ∠𝑠 in the same seg SR
̂1 = 𝑥
∴B ̂1 = 𝑥

̂1 = B
B ̂2 Both = 𝑥 SR
̂A ̂1 = B
B ̂2
∴ BF bisects CB

between a tangent to a circle and a segment
chord is …
2.2.1
̂
P2 = N̂2 ∠s opp = sides, OP = ON (radii) CA
̂
P2 = 23°
2.2.2
̂Q = ̂
PO ̂2
P2 + N Ext ∠ of ∆PON SR
̂ Q = 23° + 23°
PO
̂ Q = 46°
∴ PO CA

Conclusion
Proof:
In ∆ADE, draw height ℎ relative to base AD and hieght 𝑘
relative to base AE.
Join BE and DC to create ∆BDE and ∆CED.
