Hi friends,
I trust you are all well and in good shape. In the attached drawing we must prove that OTBG is a cyclic quad. I will give the explanation, however I fail to fathom how their explanation proves anything. Just a note, the indicators that show OBG and OTG to be 90deg, ...I put them in, they were not given.
So the only truth we can get from this drawing is that OTG = 90deg, because of the midpoint rule, and OBG also is 90deg, because of the center line to tangent rule. This is also how the explanation is depicted on the memo...HOWEVER, it is now accepted that OTBG is a cyclic quad, because a line subtends equal angles....I presume the line referred to here is line OG. But surely this is not prove enough that TOG + TBG = 180deg's ?...Could someone explain this to me, please?
