To solve the problem, we need to show that in a circle of radius \( r \), where chords of lengths \( a \) and \( b \) subtend angles \( \theta \) and \( 3\theta \) at the center, the relationship \( r = a \sqrt{\frac{a}{3a - b}} \) holds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the triangles**: We have two triangles formed by the radius and the chords: - Triangle \( OAB \) for chord \( AB \) with length \( a \) subtending angle \( \theta \). - Triangle \( OBC \) for chord \( BC \) with length \( b \) subtending angle \( 3\theta \). ...
