1. The figure shows two circles.

A is the center of the first circle, B is the center of the second

circle. What is the measure of angle CBD?

Since circle A and circle B is passing to

each other’s center. Therefore, line
AB is a radius so is line CB and AC.
Therefore, line AB = BC = AC. Hence,
forming an equilateral triangle with
60-degree angle at each point. Thus,
angle CBD is just times two of angle
CBA which is equal to 120 degrees.

2. The figure shows isosceles right triangle ABC. The length of AC is a. Find the length of AB.

Using Pythagorean theorem, we have:

AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ; AB=BC and AC=a
a2 = AB2 + AB2
a2 = 2AB2
2 a2 AB= a . √ 2 = a √ 2
AB =
2 √2 √ 2 2

3. The figure shows a circle inscribed in triangle ABC. The circle is tangent to the triangle at
point D which divides th e side of the triangle into two parts. The length of BD is n, the
length of DC is m (m>n). Find the length of AC.
