Question

24. Recall from Exercise 18, Chapter 3, that a set is called convex if whenever points A, B are in the set, the entire segment AB is con- tained in the set. (a) Prove that the interior of a circle is a convex set (the interior is the set of all points inside the circle). (b) Assume the line-circle continuity principle. Show that if a line passes through a point inside a circle, then it also passes through points outside the circle.

Please provide step-by-step instruction WITHOUT FORMULAS. Although we are beginning to introduce the concept of degrees, we are not using algebraic formulas to solve geometric problems.
