Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The semicircle is the top half of the circle x2+h2=r2 and P(x,y) is any point on the semicircle. And the given coordinates are A(r,0)&B(r,0) .

Formula used: mXY=y2y1x2x1

Proof: Calculate the slope of line PA and PB,

  mPA=y0x+r=yx+rmPB=yxr

Now, get the value of x+r ,

  x2+y2=r2x2r2=y2(x+r)(xr)=y2x+r=y2xr

Hence, mPA :

  mPA=yy2xr=xry

As we know, the product of slopes of two segments that are perpendicular is 1 .

  mPA×mPB=xry×yxrmPA×mPB=1

Therefore, the given segments are perpendicular to each other which proves that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle.
