9. AC=AD, then ∠ABD=∠ADB=(180°-∠CAB)/2=75°

OA=OC, then ∠OAC=∠CAB=∠OCA=30°

∴∠OCE=∠ACD-∠OCA=75°-30°=45°

∵OE⊥AD, then △OCE is isosceles Right triangle

∴OE=√2/2OC=√2

10, (1)Connect OM, make OE⊥CD at E

∵BC is the circle tangent, then OM⊥BC

∴∠OMC=∠MCE=∠OEC=90°

that is, OMCE is a rectangle

∵∠MCD=∠ ECO=45°

∴OMCE is a square

∴OM=OE, then DC is the tangent to the circle

(2)∵OMCE is a square

∴OM=CM=r

∵AC=√2(Pythagorean theorem: AC?=2AB?)

then OC=AC-OA=√2-r

∴Collinear theorem: r squared + r squared = (√2-r) squared

r squared + 2√2r-2 = 0

r = (-2√2±4)/2

r = 2-√2 (negative values are rounded off)
