AB diameter of circle M -- Reason - Given
AC and BD tangent to circle M -- Reason - Given
CM intersects circle M at X, Y and BD at E -- Reason - Given
AB passes through midpoint M of circle M -- Reason - Definition of Diameter
AM congruent to BM -- Reason - Definition of Midpoint
AC perpendicular to AB, and BE Perpendicular to AB -- Reason - Tangent to a circle is perpendicular to diameter thm
Measure of angle CAB = 90 -- Reason - Definition of Perpendicular
Measure of angle EBA = 90 -- Reason - Definition of Perpendicular
angle CAB congruent to angle EBA -- Reason - Definition of Congruent Angles
Angle AMC congruent to angle BME -- Reason - Vertical Angles are Congruent
Triangle AMC congruent to triangle BME -- Reason - Angle Side Angle (ASA) congruence
CM congruent to EM -- Reason - Corresponding Sides of Congruent Triangles are Congruent
XM congruent to YM -- Reason - Definition of Radius
CM = CX + XM and EM = EY + YM -- Reason - Segment Addition
-XM - XM -YM - YM -- Reason - Subtraction Property of Equality
CX = XM - XM EY = EM - YM -- Reason - Reflexive Property
EY = CM - XM -- Reason - Substitution
CX = EY -- Reason - Substitution
