A circle of radius 1 is placed in a corner of a room (i.e., it touches the horizontal floor and two vertical walls perpendicular to each other). Find the locus of the center of the band for all of its possible positions.
[b]Note.[/b] For the solution of this problem, it is useful to know the following Monge theorem: The locus of all points $P$, such that the two tangents from $P$ to the ellipse with equation $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ are perpendicular to each other, is a circle − a so-called Monge circle − with equation $x^2 + y^2 = a^2 + b^2$.
