Solution 2 (Power of a Point)
Let be the center of the circle, and be the midpoint of . Draw triangle , and median . Because , is isosceles, so is also an altitude of . , and because angle is degrees and triangle is right, . Because triangle is right, . Thus, . We are looking for + which is also . Because . By power of a point, so . Finally, .

Solution 3 (Law of Cosines)
Let be the center of the circle. Notice how , where is the radius of the circle. By applying the law of cosines on triangle , . Similarly, by applying the law of cosines on triangle , . By subtracting these two equations, we get . We can rearrange it to get . Because both and are both positive, we can safely divide both sides by to obtain . Because , . Through power of a point, we can find out that , so .
