2- show that AF = R.
F is a point of (d) : the
perpendicular F
bisector of [AO] then
F is equidistant from
A and O .
Hence AF = FO but A B
FO= radius then by E O
substitution AF = R

since AFB is a right triangle F

Using Pythagoras in the
right triangle AFB : Remark : we can find FB if we prove that

𝐹𝐵 = (2𝑅) −𝑅 . 2 F
𝐹𝐵2 = 4𝑅2 − 𝑅2 .
𝐹𝐵2 = 3𝑅2 . Then
