4. A tangent is drawn from point C to a circle with radius 25 and center at point O. Point A is the point of tangency. Segment CO intersects the circle at point B. A perpendicular is dropped from point B to line BC until it intersects line AC at point F. Find the radius of the circumscribed circle around triangle ABC if BF=2.

Solution
# Solution:
Since BF and AF are segments of tangents, BF=AF=2.
Right triangles AOC and BFC are similar, FCOC=BCAC=BFOA.

Let x=CF,y=BC.
Then xy+25=y2+x=5⇔{y+25=x5,2+x=y5,⇔{5y+10=5x,2+x=5y,⇔⇔{x=3,y=5.
In triangle ABC, we have AC=5,BC=5,sin∠OCA=OCAO=3525=32,cos∠OCA=35.
