Let the circle $\Omega$ and the line $\ell$ intersect at two different points $A{}$ and $B{}$. For different and non-points. Let $X$ and $T$ be points on $\ell$ and $Y$ and $Z$ be points on $\Omega$, all of them different from $A{}$ and $B{}$. Prove the following statements: [list=a] [*]The points $X,Y$ and $Z$ lie on the same line if and only if \[\frac{\overline{AX}}{\overline{BX}}=\pm\frac{AY}{BY}\cdot\frac{AZ}{BZ}.\] [*]The points $X,Y,Z$ and $T$ lie on the same circle if and only if \[\frac{\overline{AX}}{\overline{BX}}\cdot\frac{\overline{AT}}{\overline{BT}}=\pm\frac{AY}{BY}\cdot\frac{AZ}{BZ}.\] [/list] Note: In both points, the sign $+$ is selected in the right parts of the equalities if the points $Y{}$ and $Z{}$ lie on the same arc $AB$ of the circle $\Omega$, and the sign $-$ if $Y{}$ and $Z{}$ lie on different arcs $AB$. By $\overline{AX}/\overline{BX}$, we indicate the ratio of the lengths of $AX$ and $BX$, taken with the sign $+$ or $-$ depending on whether the $AX$ and $BX$ vectors are co-directed or oppositely directed.

Let's take a $ABCD$ rectangle of paper; the side $AB$ measures $5$ cm and the side $BC$ measures $9$ cm. We do three folds: 1.We take the $AB$ side on the $BC$ side and call $P$ the point on the $BC$ side that coincides with $A$. A right trapezoid $BCDQ$ is then formed. 2. We fold so that $B$ and $Q$ coincide. A $5$-sided polygon $RPCDQ$ is formed. 3. We fold again by matching $D$ with $C$ and $Q$ with $P$. A new right trapezoid $RPCS$. After making these folds, we make a cut perpendicular to $SC$ by its midpoint $T$, obtaining the right trapezoid $RUTS$. Calculate the area of the figure that appears as we unfold the last trapezoid $RUTS$.
