Let $ABCD$ be a square with side $10$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of $[AB]$ and $[BC]$ respectively. Three circles are drawn: one with midpoint $D$ and radius $|AD|$, one with midpoint $M$ and radius $|AM|$, and one with midpoint $N$ and radius $|BN|$. The three circles intersect in the points $R, S$ and $T$ inside the square. Determine the area of $\triangle RST$.

Given is a half circle with midpoint $O$ and diameter $AB$. Let $Z$ be a random point inside the half circle, and let $X$ be the intersection of $OZ$ and the half circle, and $Y$ the intersection of $AZ$ and the half circle. If $P$ is the intersection of $BY$ with the tangent line in $X$ to the half circle, show that $PZ \perp BX$.
