Math Problem Statement
A circle with center π O and radius π r intersects another circle with center π P and radius π s at two points π΄ A and π΅ B. The line segment π π OP intersects the circle with center π O at point πΆ C. If the length of π π OP is 6, the length of π πΆ OC is 2, and the angle β π΄ π π β AOP is 6 0 β 60 β , find the value of log β‘ π ( π π ) log e β ( s r β ).
Solution
Given:
We need to find .
Solution:
-
