Chord Triangle Constant (Posted on 2015-03-21) |
|
Let Γ be a circle with center O and radius r. Let P be a point inside Γ
( different from O ) with |OP| = p.
a) Prove there exists a point A outside Γ such that for all chords BC
of Γ through P the quantity (b+c)/a is constant ( where a, b, and c
are the side lengths of ΔABC ).
b) What is the constant in terms of p and r?
c) Prove that the point A is unique.

See Harry's post for a solution to parts a) and b).
I did not follow his uniqueness argument for part c). |
