$ABCD$ is a square. Circle with diameter $AB$ and circle with center $C$ and radius $CB$ meet inside the square at $P$. Prove that $DP = \sqrt2 AP$.
I think we judge talent wrong. What do we see as talent? I think I have made the same mistake myself. We judge talent by the trophies on their showcases, the flamboyance the supremacy. We don't see things like determination, courage, discipline, temperament.

Here lets take $\angle DAP=\angle b$
So,$\angle PAB=90^o-b$.
We know hat $\angle APB=90^o$
Or, $\angle ABP=\angle b$
So, $\angle PBC=90^o-b$

Now, $\triangle CBP$ is isosceles such that $CP=CB$. We draw the angle bisector $CM$ of $\angle BCP$. Here $CM \perp PB$. And $\angle BCM=\angle b$.

Now by $ASA$ congruence, $\triangle PAB \cong \triangle CMB$. And also, $\triangle CMP \cong \triangle CMB$.

So, $BM=MP=AP$


Now, we had already showed that $\angle PBC=90^o-b$ .So, $\angle BPC =90^o-b$. So, $\angle BCP = 2b$.
So, $\angle PCD=90^o-2b$. Or, $\angle CPD= \angle CDP=45+b$.


And. $\angle APD=360^o-\angle APB+\angle BPC+\angle CPD$
Or, $\angle APD=360^o-\angle 90^o+\angle 90^o-b+45^o+b $
Or, $\angle APD = 135^o$. And so, $\angle PDA= 45-b$

Now, we had already showed that $PA=PM$. $\angle PAM= \angle PMA = 45^o$. And, $\angle AMP=135^o$

And, $\angle PAB =90^o-b$ and $\angle PAM= 45$. So, $\angle MAB= 45-b$, and we had showed far early that $\angle ABM=b$ [$B,M,P$ are lying on same line].

So, $\triangle DAP \cong \triangle ABM$.

So. $DP=AM$

We now had a right triangle $ \triangle PAM$

So. $cosec 45^o= \frac {AM}{AP} = \frac {DP}{AP}= \sqrt 2$
And finally, $DP=\sqrt 2 AP$

At first we connect A, O. Then B, D. Then connect D, O and extend it beyond O which will

intersect BC at point E.

$\Delta{}$ABO is an isosceles, where

AB = AO.

So, $\angle{}ABO\ =\ \angle{}AOB.$


Now, $\angle{}ABO\ =\ \frac{180^\circ{}\ -\
\angle{}BAO}{2}=90^\circ{}-\frac{\angle{}BAO}{2}$ .................(1)

Again, $\angle{}AOD\ =\frac{180^\circ{}\ -\
\angle{}OAD}{2}=\frac{180^\circ{}-\left(90^\circ{}-\angle{}BAO\right)}{2}=45^\circ{}+

\frac{\angle{}BAO}{2}$ ............... (2)

Now,
(1) + (2)

= $\angle{}$BOD

=$\ \ 90^\circ{}-\frac{\angle{}BAO}{2}$ + = 135$^\circ{}$

So, $\angle{}$BOE = 180$^\circ{}$ - $\angle{}$BOD = 45$^\circ{}$

Now, $\angle{}$BOC = $\angle{}$BOE +$\angle{}$EOC

= 45$^\circ{}$ + 90$^\circ{}$ [As, DE $\perp{}$ CO]

=135$^\circ{}$

Now, $\angle{}$BDC=45$^\circ{}$

Let, $\angle{}$BDO= b

So, $\angle{}$ODC=45$^\circ{}$ - b

So, $\angle{}$DEC= 90$^\circ{}$ - (45$^\circ{}$ - b)

So, $\angle{}$OCB=$\angle{}$ OCE=45$^\circ{}$-b

Again, $\angle{}$ OBC=180$^\circ{}$-$\angle{}$ BOC -$\angle{}$ OCB = 180$^\circ{}$-135$^

\circ{}$-45$^\circ{}$+b = b

Again, $\angle{}$ DBO=180$^\circ{}$-$\angle{}$ BOD-b = 180$^\circ{}$-135$^\circ{}$-b =

45$^\circ{}$-b

Now, $\Delta{}$ DCB is a right ANGLE triangle

So, $BC^2+CD^2=BD^2$

Or, $BC^2+BC^2=BD^2$

Or, $2BC^2=BD^2$

So, $\frac{BC}{BD}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Now, in $\Delta{}$ DBO and $\Delta{}$ BOC --
\[
\angle{}\ DBO\ =\ \angle{}\ OCB\ =\ 45^\circ{}-b
\]
\[
\angle{}\ OBC\ =\ \angle{}\ BDO\ =\ b
\]
\[
\angle{}\ BOD\ =\ \angle{}\ BOC\ =\ 135^\circ{}\
\]
So, $\Delta{}$ DBO $\sim{}$ $\Delta{}$ BOC


So, $\frac{BD}{BC}=\frac{BO}{CO}$

Or, $\sqrt{2}=\frac{BO}{CO}$

Or, $\surd{}2CO=\ BO$

So, BO = $\surd{}$2CO [ ;) ]
