1. Problem Description

Given a circle OO with chord AB=5AB = 5. Point CC is on the extension of ABAB such that BC=4BC = 4. A tangent line from CC to the circle intersects the circle at point DD. Point DD is on the same side of line ABAB as the center of the circle. We need to find various lengths and ratios related to this configuration.

2. Solution Steps

(1) Find CDCD.
By the tangent-secant theorem, CD2=CBCA=CB(CB+BA)=4(4+5)=49=36CD^2 = CB \cdot CA = CB \cdot (CB + BA) = 4 \cdot (4 + 5) = 4 \cdot 9 = 36. Therefore, CD=36=6CD = \sqrt{36} = 6.
(2) Find the similar triangle to CAD\triangle CAD.
CAD=CDB\angle CAD = \angle CDB (angle between tangent and chord).
Also, ACD=DCB\angle ACD = \angle DCB is given.
Therefore, CADCDB\triangle CAD \sim \triangle CDB (AA similarity).
Find ADBD\frac{AD}{BD}.
Since CADCDB\triangle CAD \sim \triangle CDB, we have ADCD=CDCB=CACD\frac{AD}{CD} = \frac{CD}{CB} = \frac{CA}{CD}.
Also, ADBD=CACD=CDCB\frac{AD}{BD} = \frac{CA}{CD} = \frac{CD}{CB}. Therefore, ADBD=64=32\frac{AD}{BD} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}.
(3) Let EE and FF be the intersection points of the angle bisector of ACD\angle ACD with BDBD and ADAD, respectively.
Find DEBE\frac{DE}{BE} and DFAF\frac{DF}{AF}.
By the angle bisector theorem in ACD\triangle ACD, AFDF=ACCD=96=32\frac{AF}{DF} = \frac{AC}{CD} = \frac{9}{6} = \frac{3}{2}. So DFAF=23\frac{DF}{AF} = \frac{2}{3}.
By the angle bisector theorem in BCD\triangle BCD, DEBE=CDBC=64=32\frac{DE}{BE} = \frac{CD}{BC} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}.
Let GG be the intersection of AEAE and CDCD.
We want to find CGGD\frac{CG}{GD}.
In ADE\triangle ADE, AFAF is the angle bisector of DAC\angle DAC, and AEAE intersects CDCD at GG.
However, directly finding CG/GD is difficult.
Consider ADC\triangle ADC. EE is the intersection of the angle bisector of ACD\angle ACD with BDBD, and FF is the intersection with ADAD. AEAE and CDCD intersect at GG.
Since ADBD=32\frac{AD}{BD} = \frac{3}{2}, AD=32BDAD = \frac{3}{2}BD.
Since DEBE=32\frac{DE}{BE} = \frac{3}{2}, DE=32BEDE = \frac{3}{2}BE. Thus, BD=BE+DE=BE+32BE=52BEBD = BE + DE = BE + \frac{3}{2}BE = \frac{5}{2}BE, so BE=25BDBE = \frac{2}{5}BD.
DE=BDBE=BD25BD=35BDDE = BD - BE = BD - \frac{2}{5}BD = \frac{3}{5}BD.
So DEBD=35\frac{DE}{BD} = \frac{3}{5} and BEBD=25\frac{BE}{BD} = \frac{2}{5}.
Since CADCDB\triangle CAD \sim \triangle CDB, CAD=CDB\angle CAD = \angle CDB.
Also, ACD=DCB\angle ACD = \angle DCB.
CE is the angle bisector of ACD\angle ACD, so ACE=DCE\angle ACE = \angle DCE.
Thus ACE=DCE\angle ACE = \angle DCE. Since CADCDB\triangle CAD \sim \triangle CDB, we have CD/CB=AC/CDCD/CB = AC/CD, which implies CD2=AC×CBCD^2 = AC \times CB, i.e., 62=9×4=366^2 = 9 \times 4=36, ok.
CGGD\frac{CG}{GD} requires more advanced knowledge or techniques. Let's try using Menelaus' theorem on ADF\triangle ADF and line CECE.
AEEFFBBDDCCA=1\frac{AE}{EF} \cdot \frac{FB}{BD} \cdot \frac{DC}{CA} = 1. I can't proceed from here.
Let's use Ceva's theorem on triangle ACD\triangle ACD with cevians AEAE, DFDF, CBCB, GG inside it.
However, Ceva does not lead directly to CG/GD
Area of quadrilateral ABEFABEF as a multiple of the area of ACD\triangle ACD.
Back to CG/GD. We know AC/CD=9/6=3/

2. AD/BD = 3/

2. Since $\frac{AF}{FD} = 3/2$, we get $AF = \frac{3}{5} AD$.

3. Final Answer

(1) CD=6CD = 6
(2) CAD=CDB\angle CAD = \angle CDB, CADCDB\triangle CAD \sim \triangle CDB, ADBD=32\frac{AD}{BD} = \frac{3}{2}
(3) DEBE=32\frac{DE}{BE} = \frac{3}{2}, DFAF=23\frac{DF}{AF} = \frac{2}{3}
The problem is missing the diagrams that would provide values for CG/GD and the ratio of areas. Given the ratios calculated, and without extra time, it's not feasible to determine exact answers for those values.
