1.

| figure.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
2.
|
At center pt O and a suitable radius OA draw a complete circle,
|
|---|
|
| Pg. 41
|
|---|
|
| crossing the line OB, as shown in FIG. 8 above.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
3.
|
Draw any straight line OC so that ÐAOC = 6Æ [60o was used
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
for clarity] so that pt C lies on the
circumferance of the previous circle
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
at pt C, as shown in FIG. 8 above.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
4.
|
Draw 2 straight lines DA and DO so that ÐDAO = 4Æ [40o] and
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
ÐDOA = 90o - Æ = i - Æ [80o] above the line AOB
so that the
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
2 lines intersect at pt D, as shown in FIG. 8, above.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
5.
|
Draw the line DF parallel to line AOB.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
6.
|
With center pt D and radius of length DA draw a circle to cut arc
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
ACE produced at pt E, just above line OB, see FIG. 8, above.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
Thus let DA = DE = [b - c] = r1 and OC = OE = c = r.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
7.
|
Join pts O & E
with a straight line and extend the line past pt E to
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
intersect the line DF extended at pt F so that OF = DF = b,
|
|---|
|
| Pg. 42
|
|---|
|
|
see proof below.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
8.
|
With center pt E and radius EO = c = r cut line AOB
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
extended at pt B
and let the distance OB = a.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
9.
|
Join pts E & D
with a straight line and extend the line ED to
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
meet arc ACE at pt C, as shown in FIG. 8 above, see proof below.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
10.
|
Join pts D & F and pts B & F with straight lines.
|
|---|
|
|---|
|
1.
|
In DDOA & DDOE:
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
Line DO is common and radii OA = OE and DA = DE; therefore,
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
they are similar and equilateral Ds.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
Thus ÐOAD = ÐOED = 4Æ and ÐODA = ODE =
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
= 2i - ÐDAO - ÐDOA = 2i - 4Æ - (i - Æ) = i - 3Æ.
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
and since DF is parallel to OB then ÐAOD = ÐODF = i - Æ
|
|---|
|
| Pg. 43
|
|---|
|
|
and thus ÐFDB = ÐODF - ÐODB = (i - Æ) - (i - 3Æ) = 2Æ
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
and also ÐFDB = ÐOBD = 2Æ
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
2.
|
In isosceles DCOE:
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
Since 2 sides OC = OE = r = c and ÐOCE = ÐOEC = 4Æ
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
therefore ÐCOD = ÐDOA - ÐCOA = (i - Æ) - 6Æ = i - 7Æ.
|
|
|
|---|
|
3.
|
In DEOB:
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
Since 2 sides EO = EB = r = c
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
therefore DEOB is isosceles and ÐEOB = ÐEBO = 2Æ
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
and since DF is parallel to OB then ÐDFO = ÐFDB = 2Æ
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
4.
|
In DFOD:
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
Since ÐFDO = ÐDOA = i - Ø
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
and ÐFOD = 2i - ÐAOD - ÐBOE = 2i - (i - Æ) - 2Æ = i - Æ
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
then DFOD is isosceles and thus DF = OF = b.
|
|---|
|
| Pg. 44
|
|---|
|
5.
|
In isosceles DDEF & DOEB:
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
Since ÐEDF = ÐEFD = ÐEOB = ÐEBO = 2Æ
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
and since ED = EB = c = r
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
and since DE = EF = DA = OF - OE = (b - c) = r1
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
therefore the ratio DF/OB = EF/ER = DE/OE = b/a = (b-c)/c or
|
|---|
|
|
|
|---|
|
|
1/c = 1/a + 1/b - which is known as the FOCUS FORMULA.
