Circle $B$ has radius $6\sqrt{7}$. Circle $A$, centered at point $C$, has radius $\sqrt{7}$ and is contained in $B$. Let $L$ be the locus of centers $C$ such that there exists a point $D$ on the boundary of $B$ with the following property: if the tangents from $D$ to circle $A$ intersect circle $B$ again at $X$ and $Y$, then $XY$ is also tangent to $A$.

Let $ABC$ a triangle be given with $BC = a$, $CA = b$, $AB = c$ ($a \neq b \neq c \neq a$). In plane ($ABC$) take the points $A'$, $B'$, $C'$ such that:
[b]I.[/b] The pairs of points $A$ and $A'$, $B$ and $B'$, $C$ and $C'$ either all lie in one side either all lie in different sides under the lines $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ respectively;
