PE ⊥ AB is connected to e through P, PC ⊥ x is connected to C through P, AB is connected to D, Pa. ∵ PE ⊥ AB, ab = 23, radius is 2, ∵ AE = 12ab = 3, PA = 2. According to Pythagorean theorem, PE = 22 − (3) 2 = 1, ∵ point a is on the straight line y = x, ∵ AOC = 45 °, ∵ DCO = 90 °, ∵ ODC = 45 ° and ∵ OCD are
