Let Ω1\Omega_1 be a circle with centre O and let AB be diameter of Ω1\Omega_1. Let P be a point on the segment OB different from O . Suppose another circle Ω2\Omega_2 with centre P lies in the interior of Ω1\Omega_1. Tangents are drawn from A and B to the circle Ω2\Omega_2 intersecting Ω1\Omega_1 again at A1\mathrm{A}_1 and B1\mathrm{B}_1 respectively such that A1\mathrm{A}_1 and B1B_1 are on the opposite sides of ABA B. Given that A1B=5,AB1=15A_1 B=5, A B_1=15 and OP=10O P=10, find the radius of Ω1\Omega_1.Let _1 be a circle with centre O and let AB be diameter of _1 . Let P be a point on the segment OB different from O .

Step-by-step solution

Let _1 be a circle with centre O and let AB be diameter of _1 . Let P be a point on the segment OB different from O .
