Apply sine/cosine rules in conjunction with properties of cyclic quadrilaterals or polygons inscribed in circles (e.g., Ptolemy's theorem, opposite angles supplementary) to find sides, angles, diagonals, or radii.
Q2 As shown in the figure, a triangle $ABD$ is inscribed in a semi-circle with the diameter $BC$, where $$\mathrm{AB}=3, \quad \mathrm{BD}=5, \quad \tan\angle\mathrm{ABD}=\frac{3}{4}.$$ We are to find the lengths of the three sides $BC$, $CD$ and $DA$ of the quadrangle $ABCD$ and the area $S$ of the quadrangle $ABCD$. First, since $\cos\angle\mathrm{ABD}=\frac{\mathbf{L}}{\mathbf{M}}$, we have $\mathrm{DA}=\sqrt{\mathbf{NO}}$. Also, since $\sin\angle\mathrm{ABD}=\frac{\mathbf{P}}{\mathbf{Q}}$, we have $\mathrm{BC}=\frac{\square\mathbf{R}\sqrt{\mathbf{ST}}}{\mathbf{U}}$ and thus $\mathrm{CD}=\frac{\mathbf{V}}{\mathbf{W}}$. From these we obtain $$S = \frac{\mathbf{XXY}}{\mathbf{XY}}.$$
A quadrangle $ABCD$ which is inscribed in a circle $O$ satisfies $$\mathrm { AB } = \mathrm { BC } = \sqrt { 2 } , \quad \mathrm { BD } = \frac { 3 \sqrt { 3 } } { 2 } , \quad \angle \mathrm { ABC } = 120 ^ { \circ } ,$$ where $$AD > CD .$$ (1) Then $\mathrm { AC } = \sqrt { \mathbf { A } }$, and the radius of circle O is $\sqrt { \mathbf { B } }$. (2) Set $x = \mathrm { AD }$. Since $\angle \mathrm { ADB } = \mathbf { CD }^\circ$, $x$ satisfies $$4 x ^ { 2 } - \mathbf { E } \mathbf { F } x + \mathbf { G H } = 0 .$$ Also, set $y = \mathrm { CD }$. In the same way, it follows that $y$ satisfies $$4 y ^ { 2 } - \mathbf { I J } y + \mathbf { K } \mathbf { L } = 0 .$$ Thus, noting (1), we obtain $AD$ and $CD$.
Suppose that a quadrangle ABCD which is inscribed in a circle has the side lengths $$\mathrm { AB } = \sqrt { 2 } , \quad \mathrm { BC } = \mathrm { CD } = 2 , \quad \mathrm { DA } = \sqrt { 6 } .$$ (1) Let us set $\theta = \angle \mathrm { BAD }$. We have the two equalities $$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm { BD } ^ { 2 } = \mathbf { A } - \mathbf { B } \sqrt { \mathbf { C } } \cos \theta , \\
& \mathrm { BD } ^ { 2 } = \mathbf { D } + \mathbf { E } \cos \theta .
\end{aligned}$$ Hence, $$\theta = \mathbf { F G } { } ^ { \circ } , \quad \mathrm { BD } = \mathbf { H } \text {. } \mathbf { I } \text {. }$$ (2) Furthermore, we have $$\angle \mathrm { BAC } = \mathbf { J K } ^ { \circ } , \quad \angle \mathrm { BCA } = \mathbf { L M } ^ { \circ } \text { and } \mathrm { AC } = \mathbf { N } + \sqrt { \mathbf { O } } \text {. }$$ We also have $$\sin \angle \mathrm { ADC } = \frac { \sqrt { \mathbf { P } } } { \mathbf{Q} } ( \sqrt { \mathbf { R } } + \mathbf { S } )$$ (3) Let us denote the point of intersection of the straight line AD and the straight line BC by E. We have $\mathrm { EB } = \mathbf { T } + \mathbf { U } \sqrt { \mathbf { V } }$.
For a quadrilateral ABCD inscribed in a circle of radius 1, let $\mathrm { AB } : \mathrm { AD } = 1 : 2$ and $\angle \mathrm { BAD } = 120 ^ { \circ }$. Also, when the point of intersection of diagonals BD and AC is denoted by E, let $\mathrm { BE } : \mathrm { ED } = 3 : 4$. We are to find the area of quadrilateral $\mathrm{ABCD}$. In order to find the area of quadrilateral ABCD, we are to find the area of triangle ABD, denoted by $\triangle \mathrm { ABD }$, and the area of triangle BCD, denoted by $\triangle \mathrm { BCD }$. First, let us find $\triangle \mathrm { ABD }$. Since $$\mathrm { BD } = \sqrt { \mathbf { A } } , \quad \mathrm { AB } = \frac { \sqrt { \mathbf { BC } } } { \mathbf { D } } ,$$ we have $$\triangle \mathrm { ABD } = \frac { \mathbf { E } \sqrt { \mathbf { F } } } { \mathbf { GH } } .$$ Next, let us find $\triangle \mathrm { BCD }$. Since $$\triangle \mathrm { ABC } : \triangle \mathrm { ACD } = \mathbf{I} : \mathbf { J } ,$$ we see that $\mathrm { BC } : \mathrm { CD } = \mathbf { K } : \mathbf { L }$. (Give the answers using the simplest integer ratios.) Hence we have $\mathrm { BC } = \frac { \mathbf{M} \sqrt { \mathbf { N } } } { \mathbf{O} }$ and $$\triangle \mathrm { BCD } = \frac { \mathbf { PQ } \sqrt { \mathbf { R } } } { \mathbf { ST } }$$ Thus, from (1) and (2) we obtain the result that the area of quadrilateral ABCD is $\frac{\mathbf{U}\sqrt{\mathbf{V}}}{\mathbf{WX}}$.
In $\triangle A B C$, $\overline { A B } = \overline { B C } = 3$ and $\cos \angle A B C = - \frac { 1 } { 8 }$. On the circumcircle of $\triangle A B C$ there is a point $D$ satisfying $\overline { B D } = 4$ and $\overline { A D } \leq \overline { C D }$. Then $\overline { C D } = $ (17-1) $+$ $\sqrt{\text{(17-2)}}$. (Express as a simplified radical form.)
