Try to find the ratio of two arcs

$begingroup$


O1 is the center of the big circle; O2 is the center of the small one.



Line(O2-P) is vertical to line(A-C).



Line(PQ):line(PB)=2:7



What's the ratio of arc(AC) and arc(CB)?

Let $PQ=2$ and $PB=7$: by Pythagoras' theorem we then get $BQ=sqrt{53}$.



If $PH$ is an altitude of triangle $BPQ$, then:
$$PH=PQcdot {PBover BQ}={14oversqrt{53}}$$
and by similarity:
$$QH={4oversqrt{53}},
quad BH={49oversqrt{53}},
quad HO_2=QO_2-QH={45over 2sqrt{53}}.
$$

Triangle $APH$ is similar to $PHO_2$, hence:
$$
AH={392over45sqrt{53}},quad
AO_2=AH+HO_2={53sqrt{53}over90}
quadtext{and}quad
PA={14sqrt{53}over45}.
$$

Finally, $ABC$ is similar to $APO_2$ and
$displaystyle AB=AO_2+BO_2={49sqrt{53}over45}$, whence:
$$
BC={49oversqrt{53}}, quad AC={1372over45sqrt{53}}.
$$

It follows that:
$$
{ACover BC}={28over45},
quadtext{and}quad
{text{arc}(AC)over text{arc}(BC)}={arctan(28/45)overarctan(45/28)}.
$$
