Extend BC to meet the circle at E, and join AE.
\(\angle BEA\) is 90 as it is an angle on the diameter AB.
Therefore, AE||OD, as angle AEB and ODB are 90, and AE is double of OD, since BOD and ABE are similar triangles in the ratio 1:2=BO:BA.
Take triangle ACE.
Angle AEB= angle AEC = 90, as it is opposite the diameter AB.
Angle AEC=180-120=60.
Triangle AEC thus is 30-60-90 triangle.
Now AE opposite 60 degree angle is 3, so hypotenuse \(AC=\frac{2*3}{\sqrt{3}}=2\sqrt{3}\), as the sides are in ratio 1:sqrt3:2

how can it be AE||OD?
