Based on the starting diagram and information, it cannot be deduced that AC is tangent to the circle at point C. That assumption was not given until after the solution began.
That's just not true. If BC is the diameter of the semicircle, and also a side of the triangle, then AC cannot be anything other than a tangent at point C.
If it was a tangent at any point on the semicircle other than point C, then the horizontal base of the triangle would be longer than the semicircle diameter.
If the horizontal base of the triangle was equal to the semicircle diameter, but AC wasn't a tangent, then it would be a secant to either the semicircle as shown (intersecting the arc above BC), or the reflected semicircle below BC.
@@Grizzly01-vr4pn "If BC is the diameter of the semicircle, and also a side of the triangle, then AC cannot be anything other than a tangent at point C."
Line AC can intersect with diameter BC at any angle in-between (but not including) 0 and 180 degrees. However, the only angle at which line AC could intersect with diameter BC, tangent to the circle at point C, is 90 degrees. There's no indication on the diagram that angle ACB is 90 degrees and there's no way to deduce that it is or that AC is tangent to the circle at point C.
@@brettgbarnes Please re-read my second paragraph in my above comment.
The fact that AC _only_ intersects with BC at point C means it _must_ be a tangent. If it were not a tangent, but still intersected at point C, it would also intersect with the circumference at a second point. It would be a secant line.
@@Grizzly01-vr4pn
Yes, by definition, line AC only intersects with line BC at point C on the circumference, but that doesn't prove that line AC is tangent to the circumference at point C.
Yes, "if it were not a tangent, but still intersected at point C, it would also intersect with the circumference at a second point." That's true, but only if angle ACB is less than 90 degrees and that would be an assumption that can't be proven from information on the starting diagram. If angle ACB is greater than 90 degrees, line AC would not "intersect with the circumference at a second point."
The only case in which line AC could be tangent to the circumference at point C is if angle ACB is 90 degrees and, again, there is no way of knowing that from the information given at the start.
@@brettgbarnes it certainly would intersect the circumference at a second point, that point being on the 'lower' unseen semicircle, that completes the full circle.
I started like Method 1, but once I had the 2√5 length, I used the tan() in B.=> tan(DBC) = 2√5 / 4 = √5/2 = tan(ABC) = x / 6. Hence 2.x = 6.√5, so x = 3√5
In 1st method, you need not solve for DC. It is simpler to solve for AB. Using same triangle similarity, BD/BC = BC/AD. From this you get BD = 9. Then you can use Pythagoras to get AC squared = 81 - 36 = 45.
👍, but BD/BC=BC/AB => AB=9
Or, AD=AB-BD=9-4=5
AC²=AD•AB=5•9=45 😉
cos (B) = 4/6 = 6/AB -> AB=9 -> X^2 = 9^2 - 6^2 = 45 -> X = 3*sqrt (5). Another way: AB = 4+a = 9 in previous step. Now X^2 = a * (4+a) = (9-4) * 9 = 5*9 = 45 -> X = 3*sqrt (5). A 3rd way: cos (B) = 2/3 --> sin (B) = sqrt (5)/3 = X/AB where AB=9 determined in previous methods --> X = 9*sqrt (5)/3 = 3*sqrt (5).
Use the tangent secant theorem
x is the tangent
BD is the secant
So AD=x^2/4
AB= 4+x^2/4
AB^2= 16+2x^2+x^4/16 (1)
ABC is a right triangle
So AB^2=BC^2+AC^2
AB^2 = 36+x^2 (2)
Let x^2= u
Compare (1) and (2)
16+2u+u/16=36+u
256+32u+u=16u+576
32u+u-16u=576-256
15u=320
3u=64
u=64/3
x=8/sqrt 3
Let CD ( construction )
Obviously CD⊥AB.
In right triangle ABC => BC²=AB·BD => 6²=AB·4 => AB=9
AD=AB-BD=9-4=5
Also in the same triangle : AC²=AB·AD =>x²=9·5 => x=3√5
Cos(dbc) = cos(abc) = BD/BC = BC/BA
So BA=BC²/BD=6²/4=9
Then
AB²=BC²+AC²
9²=6²+x²
x²=81-36=45
x=v(45)=3v(5)
9:11 The theorem is the *Power of a point* relative to a circle
Thales tells DC = sqrt(6^2 - 4^2)=2sqrt5.
Congruency tells that AC = 6/4*2sqrt5.
So AC = 3sqrt(5)
Let O be the center of the semicircle. Draw radius OD. OD = OB = BC/2 = 6/2 = 3. As OB = OD, ∆BOD is an isosceles triangle and ∠DBO = ∠ODB = θ.
Triangle ∆BOD:
cos(θ) = (OB²+DB²-OD²)/(2(OB)DB)
cos(θ) = (3²+4²-3²)/(2(3)4)
cos(θ) = (9+16-9)/24
cos(θ) = = 16/24 = 2/3
sin(θ) = √(1-cos²(θ))
sin(θ) = √(1-(2/3)²)
sin(θ) = √(1-4/9)
sin(θ) = √(5/9) = √5/3
tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ)
tan(θ) = (√5/3)/(2/3) = √5/2
CA/BC = √5/2
√5BC = 2CA
6√5 = 2x
x = 6√5/2 = 3√5 units
O the center of the circle, and t = angleCBA,
In triangle OBD: OD^2 = BO^2 + BD^2 -2.BO.BD.cos(t)
So, 9 = 9 + 16 - 2.3.4.cos(t), and cos(t) = 2/3
Then 1 + (tan(t))^2 = 1/(cos(t))^2 = 9/4,
then (tan(t))^2 = 5/5 and tan(t) = sqrt(5)/2
In triangle CBA: X = CA = BC.tan(t) = 6.(sqrt(5)/2)
Finally: X = 3.sqrt(5).
Wow ... Good video ❤
Llamamos E a la proyección ortogonal de D sobre BC → 6²-4²=DC²→ DC=2√5 → BC*DE=BD*DC→ DE=4√5/3 → BD²-DE²=BE²→ BE=8/3 → DE/BE=AC/BC→AC=X=3√5 =6,7082....
Gracias y un saludo cordial.
When solving, you say that ∠ACB = 90° because AC is tangent to semi-circle (and radius and tangent are perpendicular), but when stating the problem, you don't mention that AC is tangent to semi-circle, and we can't assume it's tangent just because it looks tangent.
Yes. I think you are right.
∆ ABC → BC = 6; AB = AD + BD = y + 4; CD = z; AC = x; ABC = δ
sin(BCA) = sin(CDB) = 1 → z = 2√5 → tan(δ) = z/4 = √5/2 = x/6 → x = 3√5 → y = 5
Нарисовано коряво! Но DC^2=36-16=20, DC=2\/5, DC/x=4/6, 2\/5/х=2/3, 2х=6\/5, х=3\/5, найдём гипотенузу АВ,
AB^2=[^2+BC^2=45+36=81, AB=9. А нарисовано так, что АС=ВС?
Thanks for the beautiful ideas!!

It was wrong solution.
Hiw can say 90 degree of anggle BCD?
Based on one of the liked comments from Math Booster, there might actually be THREE methods. Just like the last video. I shall have to practice all three methods then!
I got this one!
I solved it using 2nd method
