Construction of a chord meeting two conditions:
1) It passes through a given point inside the circle.
2) It is inscribed in an arc equal to a given angle.
Notes:
There is not always a solution. Chords inscribed in arcs of equal length are the same distance from the origin. If A lies inside the circle with radius OP, no intersection is possible.
