Acute $\triangle{ABC}$ is inscribed inside circle centered at $O$. $P$ is on $BC$ and $AP\perp BC$, and $\angle{ACB}>\angle{ABC}$. Prove the following: $\angle{BAC}+\angle{OBC}=90^\circ$ $\angle{OAP}=\angle{ACB}-\angle{ABC}$ If $\angle{ACB}-\angle{ABC}\ge 30^\circ$, and $MB=MC$, then $MP\gt CP$ If $\angle{ACB}-\angle{ABC}\ge 30^\circ$, then $\angle{BAC}+\angle{POC}<90^\circ$ Click here for the … Continue reading
