One, (50 points) Given that ⊙O1 and ⊙O2 intersect at two distinct points A and B, points P and E are on ⊙O1, points Q and F are on ⊙O2, and it is satisfied that EF is a common tangent of the two circles, PQ∥EF, and PE intersects QF at point R. Prove: ∠PBR=∠QBR.
Solution
As shown in Figure 6, let the radii of ⊙O1 and ⊙O2 be r1 and r2, respectively. Draw a line through point B parallel to EF intersecting ⊙O1 and ⊙O2 at points G and H, respectively. Let BR∩PQ=Z,BG∩EP=X,BH∩FQ=Y, PQ∩EO1=N1,PQ∩FO2=N2, BG∩EO1=M1,BH∩FO2=M2. EM1=FM2=a,EN1=FN2=b. It is easy to see that EG=2r1a,EP=2r1b, EX=baEP=ba⋅2r1a. Thus, EGEX=ba. By △EGX∽△BPX, we know EGEX=BPBX=ba. Similarly, BQBY=ba. Therefore, BPBX=BQBY, which means BQBP=BYBX. Since PQ∥XY, we have QZPZ=BYBX=BQBP. Thus, ∠PBR=∠QBR.
