First we can draw all the diagonals to the cyclic cuadrilaterals: O C , O B , B D and A C . Let ∠ A D E = α , therefore we can use circle properties, from which:
∠ O D B = ∠ O C B = ∠ O B C = ∠ O A F = α
And
∠ O A C = ∠ D B C = ∠ O C A = β ⇒ ∠ D O C = ∠ D E C = 2 β ⇒ ∠ B D E = β
Therefore:
B F = E D = 1 0 ⇒ △ A O C ∼ △ B E D
And
∠ C A F = ∠ A C F = ∠ O B D = ∠ O D B = α − β ⇒ △ O D B ∼ △ F A C
As those triangles are proportional to each other, we have:
A C r = B D 8 ∧ B D r = A C 1 0 ⇒ r = 8 0
