Is my proof of 'inscribed angle theorem' different from the usual one?

159 Views Asked by At

The usual proof of inscribed circle theorem uses the fact that the sum of interior angles is equal to exterior angle. I've formulated a little different approach, although the underlying concept is still to use isosceles triangle properties. I want to know whether my proof has anything original or not. The proof is,

enter image description here

A,B and C are thrre vertices of the triagnle and O is the circumcenter. By the property of isosceles triangle we have $\delta = \delta _1, \alpha = \alpha _1$ and $\beta = \beta _2$

Now, $$(\angle A - \alpha)+(\angle C - \beta) = 180 - \angle AOC$$ $$\implies \angle AOC = \left( 180-(\angle A + \angle C) \right) + (\beta + \alpha)$$ $$\implies \angle AOC = \angle B + \angle B = 2 \angle B$$

  • So the question is, have I done something original?
