| Given a circle with the center at the point O
and the radius of the length R.From a point A outside
so that AO=2R,drawing two tangents AB and AC to the circle
(B and C are the tangency points).Take a arbitrary point M
on smaller arc BC (M differ from B and C)
The tangent pass M cuts AB and AC at Pand Q
respectively.The segments OP and OQ cuts
BC at D and E respectively.
i)Prove that PQ=2DE
ii)Define the position of M such the
area of the triangle ODE is smallest
and expression it by R
