    Alternate method with simple calculations in coordinate system: center of circle is the intersection of (A,B) and bisectiing line of angle BCA. Choose coordinte center in C. So we have x/4 + y/3 = 1 and y = -x. => O(-12/7;12/7) => r=12/7. Then x = dist(O,A) - r = 3/7. No rocket science, few geometry rules, simple doing even for pupils.

    You did not mention in the question that A B passes by the center of the circle. Put the origine at C, the center of the circle is (-r , r). The line AB has the equation 4y - 3x = 12. So 7r = 12. Now x = SQRT (sqr(r) + sqr(3-r)) - r. Replace r by 12/7 and you got the answer.

    The main triangle is a classic 3-4-5 right triangle. Its easier to use side ratio. Exc triangle OEA OE:4::EA:3, then r/4=(3-r)/3 there you get r=12/7 And then OA:5::OE:4, then (r+x)/5=r/4, then 4r+4x=5r, then 4x=r, so x=r/4=3/7... done in less than 1 minute without hassle

    can be easier using 3-4-5 triangle (and previously determining r = 12/7) AB = x + r + OB (with OB = sqrt(r²+(4-r)²) from Pythagorus) => 5 = x+ r + sqrt(r²+(4-r)²) => x = 5 - r - sqrt(r²+(4-r)²) => x = 5 - 12/7 - sqrt((12/7)²+(16/7)²) => x = 23/7 - sqrt(12²+16²)/7 (12²+16² = 20² still from homothetic 3-4-5 triangle) => x = 23/7 - sqrt(20²)/7 => x = 23/7 - 20/7 = 3/7 (no quadratic equation to solve)

    As BC = 4 and CA = 3, ∆BCA is a 3-4-5 Pythagorean triple triangle and AB = 5. Let O be the center point of the semicircle (at the midpoint of PQ). As AP = x and OP = r, AO = x+r. Let M and N be the points of tangency between semicircle O and BC and CA respectively. Draw OM and ON. As radii, OQ = OM = ON = OP = r. First method: As BC and CA are tangent to semicircle O, ∠OMC = ∠CNO = 90°. As ∠MCN = 90° as well, then ∠NOM = 90° and OMCN is a square with side length r. As BC = 4 and CA = 3, BM = 4-r and NA = 3-r. As ∠BMO = ∠BCA = 90° and ∠B is common, ∆BMO and ∆BCA are similar. OB/BM = AB/BC OB/4-r = 5/4 OB = (4-r)5/4 = 5 - 5r/4 AB = 5 AO + OB = 5 (x+r) + (5-5r/4) = 5 x + r = 5r/4 x = 5r/4 - r = r/4 Triangle ∆BMO: OM² + BM² = OB² r² + (4-r)² = (5-5r/4)² = ((20-5r)/4)² r² + 16 - 8r + r² = (400-200r+25r²)/16 32r² - 128r + 256 = 25r² - 200r + 400 7r² + 72r - 144 = 0 7r² + 84r - 12r - 144 = 0 7r(r+12) - 12(r+12) = 0 (r+12)(7r-12) = 0 r = -12 ❌ | r = 12/7 x = r/4 = (12/7)/4 = 3/7 Second method: Draw OC. This creates two triangles, ∆OBC and ∆OCA. As BC and CA are tangent to semicircle O at M and N respectively, OM is perpendicular to BC and ON is perpendicular to CA. [ABC] = [OBC] + [OCA] bh/2 = bh/2 + bh/2 4(3)/2 = 4r/2 + 3r/2 12 = 7r r = 12/7 As OM is perpendicular to BC, ON is perpendicular to CA, and BC is perpendicular to CA, CN = OM = r. As CA = 3, NA = 3-r = 3-(12/7) = 9/7. As ON = 12/7, ∆ONA is a 3/7:1 ratio 3-4-5 Pythagorean triple triangle and AO = 5(3/7) = 15/7. AO = x + r 15/7 = x + 12/7 x = 15/7 - 12/7 = 3/7

    O needs to be on the 45 deg diagonal through C, and belong also to the line AB. So it's coordinates are (12/7) (-1,1), where C is the origin. The distance of O to A is therefore (15/7). The distance x is therefore 15/7 - 12/7 (the radius of the circle) = 3/7

    Draw a perpendicular line from the point of tangency from both bases to the hypotenuse, forming a new triangle. The sides of these triangles are 3 - radius, radius, and a hypotenuse of sides 5/4 r since the new triangle is similar to the original 3-4-5 right triangle Hence 5/4 r = (3-r)^2 + r^2 25/16 r^2 = 9 + r^2 - 6r + r^2 25/16 r^2 = 9 + 2r^2 - 6 r 25 r ^2 = 144 + 32 r^2 - 96 r 0 = 7 r^2 - 96 r + 144 r = 1.71429 Hence, the length from the center of the semi-circle to the end of the triangle is 5/4 * 1.71429 or 2.1428625 Since r = 1.71429, then x = 2.1428625 - 1.71429 = 0.4285725

  • @ahmedabdelkoui3790

    Let's reason about the symmetry of the image in relation to the vertical. The equation of the circle is (x-r)^2+(y-r)^2=r^2. the center is the intersection of the lines: y=x and y=ax+b (noted ∆) with 3=a(0)+b and 0=4a+b i.e.: b=3 and a=-3/4 d 'where y=(-3/4)x+3. For y=x, we will have: (4/4)x=3-(3/4)x or (7/4)x=3. So r=12/7=24/14. If the center is noted C and A(0,3) on ∆, ||AC||=15/7 let D be the point of intersection of the circle and ∆ in the segment AC. ||AC||=||AD||+||DC||=x+r. 15/7=x+12/7, x=3/12. Why ||AC||=15/7 ? ||AC||^2 = r^2+(3-r)^2 = 9-6r+2r^2 = 2(144/49) + (9*49)/49 - (6*12*7)/49 = (288+441-504)/49=(729-504)/49=225/49=(15/7)^2 and then ||AC||=15/7. Other solution : r=12/7 and according to the diagram, ABC and AOE are two identical triangles. Consequently: OE/BC=AO/AB, i.e. r/4=(r+x)/5. So, 5r/20=4r/20+4x/20. So r/20=4x/20, x=r/4=(12/7)/4=3/7.

    Дуже погане та нудне навчання блогерами Канади , яке не стимулює учнів : проста задача , яка вирішується двума формулами з подібності трикутників та відношенням квадрата дотичної до сікущої , проведених с однієї точки . OD/BD=AC/DC , r/4-r=3/4 , 4r=12-3r , r=12/7 . AE*2=AP х AQ , (3 - r)*2 = X x (X+2r) (3 - 12/7)*2=Х х (Х + 24/7) , (9/7)*2 = X*2 + 24/7X , X*2 + 24/7X - 81/49 , Х= -12/7 + \/ 144/49+81/49 = -12/7 + \/225/49 = -12/7 + 15/7 = 3/7. Другий корінь негативний , тому його вирішення не приводиться .
