linear algebra - Trouble in this circle question



Referring to this diagram (self-made):



enter image description here



Question says:





In the given figure diameter of the circle is 3 cm. AB & MN are two diameter such that MN is perpendicular to AB. In addition CG is parallel to MN. AE:EB=1:2 and DF is perpendicular to MN and NL:ML=1:2, find the length of DH.




Using the ratios, I could formulate that AE=1cm and EB=2cm and NL=1cm and ML=2cm.
I could also find that MO=A0=BO=ON=1.5cm
Also, EOLH becomes a square of side 0.5 cm.



But can't figure out how to find DH.




Can someone please help.



Thanks a lot.


Answer



OD is a radius of the circle as well, so has length 1.5. OL has length 0.5. So by Pythagoras DL has length 1.520.52=2. And HL has length 0.5 so DH has length 20.5.
