A full GeoMethod walk-through of a right-triangle circle-radius problem using the tangent-secant theorem, parallel lines, and the Pythagorean theorem.
We build the key auxiliary structure step by step, transfer lengths carefully, and finish with the final algebra.
00:00 Problem: Find the circle radius r
00:06 Given: AB = AD = 3, CD = 1, CE tangent
01:08 Tangent-secant theorem: CE² = CD · CA
02:21 Solve: CE = 2
02:38 Pythagoras in △ABC: BC = √7
03:18 BE = BC − CE = √7 − 2
04:01 OE ⟂ CE and AB ⟂ CE ⇒ OE ∥ AB
05:26 Rectangle OFBE: OF = BE and BF = OE = r
07:07 Pythagoras in △AFO
08:09 6r = 20 − 4√7 ⇒ r = (10 − 2√7)/3
08:54 Theorem chain: tangent-secant → Pythagoras → rectangle
09:55 Result: r = (10 − 2√7)/3
