Chord Triangle Constant (Posted on 2015-03-21) Difficulty: 4 of 5

  
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.
