Problem 10 of 3
Identify the tangent points in construction auxiliary circle with diameter OP intersects the original circle at A and B.
Using a hint is okay. It just tells the trainer to give you a little more review.

Your answer is equivalent to the expected form.
Walkthrough
Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Locate the auxiliary circle from the construction.
2. Find where it intersects the original circle.
3. Name those intersection points as tangent points.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the question.
The midpoint or external point as a tangent point.
