- [ 5 ] Let ABC be a triangle with ∠ A = 45 . Let P be a point on side BC with P B = 3 and P C = 5.
Let O be the circumcenter of ABC . Determine the length OP .
√ √2
Answer: 17 Using extended Sine law, we find the circumradius of ABC to be R = = 4 2.BC
2 sin A

2 2
By considering the power of point P , we find that R − OP = P B · P C = 15. So OP = R − 15 =2
