Solution

It looks like you've provided a set of geometry questions involving circles, chords, diameters, and triangles inscribed in circles. Let's break down and analyze each problem:

1. Diagram with Diameter AB and Chord CD Intersecting at E:

  • Given: AB is the diameter of circle OO and chord CDCD intersects the diameter at point EE.
  • To Solve:
    • Since ABAB is the diameter, by the Thales' theorem, CEB=90\angle CEB = 90^\circ if CC and DD lie on the circumference.
    • You can use properties of the circle and similar triangles to find specific lengths, angles, or other required elements.

2. Triangle ABC Inscribed in Circle P:

  • Given: ΔABC\Delta ABC is inscribed in circle PP with distances from the center PP to each side of the triangle provided.
  • To Solve:
    • The length of the radius rr of the circle can be determined if any of the distances or the circumradius formula is given.
    • The length of ABAB and ACAC might require knowing the triangle’s circumradius RR and applying the Law of Sines or another relevant formula.

3. Circle with Diameter QT Passing Through Point S:

  • Given: QTQT is a diameter passing through point SS.
  • To Solve:
    • The measure of OPOP can be found if OO is the center of the circle and PP is some point on the circle or inside.
    • The length of QRQR and QTQT depends on the circle's properties and whether QRQR is a chord, radius, or another element.

To move forward:

  1. What is the radius of the circle in Problem 2?
  2. What are the distances provided from the center PP to each side of the triangle in Problem 2?
  3. Are there any specific lengths or angles given in Problems 1 and 3?
  4. Can you upload a diagram for more precise analysis?
  5. What is the position of point SS relative to the center in Problem 3?

Tip: Remember, when dealing with inscribed angles and chords in a circle, key theorems like the Inscribed Angle Theorem and properties of cyclic quadrilaterals are often useful.
