Problem 297: Intersecting Circles, Chord, Secant, Radius, Angle,
Perpendicular. Level: High School, College, SAT Prep.
In the figure, the circles O and Q intersect at A and B. Q is a point
on circle O and C is a point on
circle Q. Lines AC and BC meet circle O at points E and D, respectively. Prove that
lines QC and DE are perpendicular.
Geometry problem solving
Geometry problem solving is one of the most challenging skills for students to learn. When a problem requires auxiliary construction, the difficulty of the problem increases drastically, perhaps because deciding which construction to make is an ill-structured problem. By “construction,” we mean adding geometric figures (points, lines, planes) to a problem figure that wasn’t mentioned as "given."
