1)circle radius=R  2)acute angle between chords:AB , CD=ϕ  find: AP^2 +BP^2 +CP^2 +DP^2 .               (in terms of:   R   and   ϕ)  trial case:             when: ϕ=90^•           ⇒AP^2 +BP^2 +CP^2 +DP^2 =4R^2

what if the chord lengths have a  constant ratio k and acute ∠   between them is φ , with radius R?

AP^2 +BP^2 +CP^2 +DP^2  is not constant  for a given ϕ, so you can not express it  in terms of R and ϕ. the case ϕ=90° is an  exception.  See examples:

i meant AB=k(CD) .

imeantAB=k(CD).

mr Ajfour!have you any solution for this case?

i think even in this question will not  fetch unique answers, given φ,R,  and k. Both chord lengths and φ  and R are required.See Q.17963..
