Problem 291: Triangle, Circle, Circumradius, Perpendicular
Level: High School, College, SAT Prep.

In the figure below, ABC is a triangle with circumradius R. DE is perpendicular to BC and DF is perpendicular to AB.
If AC = b, BD = d, and EF =e, prove that 2R.e = b.d. Post a comment.

Triangle, Circle, Perpendicular, Circumradius 

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."
