Exercise 21:
According to the diagram we are well in a configuration of Thales where the points O,M,A,N are aligned (it was enough of 3 points but here I specify that these four are aligned). and the points 0, B and C are also aligned. And that there are several interesting pairwise triangles such as OAB and ONC or OBM and OCA.
The Thales theorem tells us that if the triangles OAB and ONC form a Thales configuration such that the points O,A,N on the one hand are aligned in this order, and O,B,C on the other hand are aligned in this order. And if the lines (AB) and (NC) are parallel then we have the following ratio equalities:
OC/OB = ON/OA = NC/AB (1)
The same is true for the triangles OBM and OCA which form a Thales configuration since the points O, B and C are aligned in this order and the points O, M and N are also aligned in this order. Since the lines (BM) and (AC) are parallel we have the following ratio equalities:
OC/OB = OA/OM = CA/BM (2)
Let us use (1) and notice that is equivalent to
With (2) we have or in (1)
so OA/OM = ON/OA since
