AI Thread Summary
To prove that AB=2CE, start by calculating the angles of triangle CDE in terms of angle BAC, given that line AC is parallel to DE. Use the sine formula to establish a relationship between the lengths |CE| and |CD|. The varying angle BAC will affect the angles of triangle CDE, but they remain interrelated. This relationship allows for the necessary proof to be constructed. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding angle relationships in geometry.

They can. But they're related, so you can express one in terms of the other.
 

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is , being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
