Worked solution

(i)

1. 设未知角并利用圆周角定理表示相关角

设 ∠CAT=x\angle CAT = x。由题意 ∠BAT=2∠CAT=2x\angle BAT = 2\angle CAT = 2x。
在圆内接四边形 ABTCABTC 中,根据同弧所对的圆周角相等:
由弧 CTCT 可得 ∠CBT=∠CAT=x\angle CBT = \angle CAT = x;
由弧 BTBT 可得 ∠BCT=∠BAT=2x\angle BCT = \angle BAT = 2x。

2. 利用弦切角定理与三角形外角定理求出 $\angle TPC$

设切线 QTPQTP 与直线 BCBC 的延长线交于点 PP。
由弦切角定理(交错弧段定理),切线 PTPT 与弦 TCTC 所夹的角等于弦 TCTC 所对的圆周角,即:
∠PTC=∠TAC=x\angle PTC = \angle TAC = x
在 △PTC\triangle PTC 中,∠TCB\angle TCB 为顶点 CC 处的外角,根据外角定理:
∠TCB=∠PTC+∠TPC\angle TCB = \angle PTC + \angle TPC
2x=x+∠TPC  ⟹  ∠TPC=x2x = x + \angle TPC \implies \angle TPC = x

3. 证明 $\triangle PTB$ 为等腰三角形,得出 $TP = TB$

在 △PTB\triangle PTB 中:
∠TPB=∠TPC=x\angle TPB = \angle TPC = x
∠TBP=∠TBC=x\angle TBP = \angle TBC = x
由于 ∠TPB=∠TBP=x\angle TPB = \angle TBP = x,因此 △PTB\triangle PTB 为等腰三角形。
故 TP=TBTP = TB。

Answer

已证 TP=TBTP = TB。

(ii)

1. 证明 $\triangle PTC \sim \triangle PBT$

在 △PTC\triangle PTC 与 △PBT\triangle PBT 中:

  1. ∠TPC=∠BPT\angle TPC = \angle BPT(公共角);
  2. ∠PTC=x=∠PBT\angle PTC = x = \angle PBT(由弦切角定理或前一问推导)。
    根据两角分别相等的两个三角形相似(AA判定):
    △PTC∼△PBT\triangle PTC \sim \triangle PBT

2. 由相似三角形对应边成比例导出等式

由 △PTC∼△PBT\triangle PTC \sim \triangle PBT,对应边成比例:
PTPB=PCPT\dfrac{PT}{PB} = \dfrac{PC}{PT}
交叉相乘得:
TP2=BP×PCTP^2 = BP \times PC

Answer

已证 TP2=BP×PCTP^2 = BP \times PC。
