1. **Problem statement:**
We have a circle with center $O$ and radius $OA = 7.5$ cm. The radius $OA$ is perpendicular to chord $AB$. Point $D$ lies on the circle such that $\angle D = 90^\circ$. From an external point $E$, two segments $EA$ and $ED$ form equal angles of $35^\circ$ each at $E$. Points $B$ and $C$ are also on the circle.
We want to analyze the geometric relationships and find relevant lengths or angles based on this setup.
2. **Key formulas and rules:**
- The radius perpendicular to a chord bisects the chord.
- In a circle, an inscribed angle subtending a diameter is a right angle ($90^\circ$).
- The sum of angles around point $E$ involving $EA$ and $ED$ is $70^\circ$ (two $35^\circ$ angles).
3. **Step 1: Use the perpendicular radius to chord property**
Since $OA$ is perpendicular to chord $AB$, $OA$ bisects $AB$.
Let $M$ be the midpoint of $AB$. Then $AM = MB = x$.
4. **Step 2: Calculate length $AB$ using right triangle $OAM$**
Since $OA = 7.5$ cm and $OM$ is the distance from center $O$ to midpoint $M$ on chord $AB$, by Pythagoras:
$$OA^2 = OM^2 + AM^2$$
We know $OA = 7.5$ cm, so:
$$7.5^2 = OM^2 + x^2$$
5. **Step 3: Use the right angle at $D$**
Since $\angle D = 90^\circ$ and $D$ lies on the circle, $AD$ subtends a diameter. This means $AD$ is a diameter of the circle.
Therefore, length $AD = 2 \times OA = 2 \times 7.5 = 15$ cm.
6. **Step 4: Analyze angles at $E$**
At point $E$, $\angle E = 35^\circ$ for both $EA$ and $ED$. This suggests $E$ lies on the angle bisector or forms an isosceles triangle with $A$ and $D$.
7. **Summary:**
- Radius $OA = 7.5$ cm
- Chord $AB$ is bisected by $OA$
- $AD$ is diameter $= 15$ cm
- Angles at $E$ are $35^\circ$ each
Without additional numeric data or specific questions (e.g., find length $AB$, $EB$, or $EC$), this is the geometric analysis based on the given information.
