Solution:
① Point D is located on the circle O for the following reasons:
Remember that BC and circle o intersect at d',
In triangle ABD', BD' = AB * COS 30 = 2 √ 3.
D is the midpoint of BC line.
∴BD= 1/2BC=2√3
∴BD=BD'
That is, d and d' coincide.
Point d is on the circle o.
Prove:
② Connecting outer diameter
D is the midpoint of BC line.
O is that midpoint of the diameter AB.
∴OD is the center line of △ABC.
∴OD‖AC
You are ∵DE⊥AC.
∴∠CED=90
∴∠EDO=∠CED=90
Starting from ①, point D is on circle O.
∴OD is the radius of the circle o.
The straight line DE is tangent to the circle O.
