A Circle Problem .

Geometry Level 2

O O is center of the circle. [ A C ] [AC] is diameter of the circle with lenght 2 r 2r .

B E BE is tangent line that makes : A C B E = D AC \bigcap BE=D and C C the midpoint of [ O D ] [OD] .

2 B E = A B 2|BE|=|AB| .

Area of A B E △ABE is A r 2 A \cdot r^{2} .

What is the value of A A ?


The answer is 0.65.

O B D = 9 0 \angle OBD=90^\circ and O C = C D |OC|=|CD| Hence C B = r |CB|=r . That makes O C B △OCB equilateral triangle with all of its angles are 6 0 60^\circ

A B C = 9 0 \angle ABC=90^\circ and B C A = 6 0 \angle BCA=60^\circ Hence A B = r 3 |AB|=r\sqrt{3}

Let K K be the midpoint of [ A B ] [AB]

K B = B E = r 3 2 |KB|=|BE|=\frac{r\sqrt{3}}{2} , K B E = 6 0 \angle KBE=60^\circ makes K B E △KBE equilateral with K E = r 3 2 |KE|=\frac{r\sqrt{3}}{2}

K E = A K = K B |KE|=|AK|=|KB| Hence A E B = 9 0 \angle AEB=90^\circ . So A E = 3 r 2 |AE|=\frac{3r}{2}

A ( A B E ) = B E A E 2 A(ABE)=\frac{|BE| \cdot |AE|}{2}

= r 3 2 3 r 2 2 =\frac{\frac{r\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \frac{3r}{2}}{2}

= 3 3 8 r 2 =\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{8} \cdot r^{2}

So A = 3 3 8 0.65 A=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{8} \approx \boxed{0.65}
