PD tangent circle o at point d
∴OD⊥PD
∵C is the midpoint of the semicircle ABC.
∴OC⊥AB
OC = OD
∴∠OCE=∠ODE
∠∠OCE+∠OEC = 90°
∠ODE+∠PDE=90
∴∠OEC=∠PDE
Similarly ∠OEC=∠DEP
∴∠PDE=∠DEP
∴PD=PE
(2) Connecting AD and BD
∫AB is the diameter of circle O, and D is a point on the circle.
∴AD⊥BD
∴∠DAB+∠DBA=90
∵PD⊥OD
∴∠BDP+∠ODB=90
OD=OB
∴∠DBA=∠ODB
∴∠DAB=∠BDP
And ∠P is the common angle of ⊿BDP and ⊿DAP.
Available ⊿BDP∽⊿DAP
∴PD/PA=PB/PD
Namely PD? =PA×PB
As can be seen from the above questions, PD=PE.
∴PE? =PA×PB
