Therefore the angle ADB is half of the angle in the given segment. Hence we have the following synthetical solution. Describe on AB a segment of a circle containing an angle equal to half the angle in the given segment. With A as centre, and a radius equal to the given straight line, describe a circle. Join A with a point of intersection...
