In the plane let $\,C\,$ be a circle, $\,L\,$ a line tangent to the circle $\,C,\,$ and $\,M\,$ a point on $\,L$. Find the locus of all points $\,P\,$ with the following property: there exists two points $\,Q,R\,$ on $\,L\,$ such that $\,M\,$ is the midpoint of $\,QR\,$ and $\,C\,$ is the inscribed circle of triangle $\,PQR$.
Let $A,B$ be adjacent vertices of a regular $n$-gon ($n\ge5$) with center $O$. A triangle $XYZ$, which is congruent to and initially coincides with $OAB$, moves in the plane in such a way that $Y$ and $Z$ each trace out the whole boundary of the polygon, with $X$ remaining inside the polygon. Find the locus of $X$.
We are given two mutually tangent circles in the plane, with radii $r_1, r_2$. A line intersects these circles in four points, determining three segments of equal length. Find this length as a function of $r_1$ and $r_2$ and the condition for the solvability of the problem.
Circles ${w}_{1},{w}_{2}$ intersect at points ${{A}_{1}} $ and ${{A}_{2}} $. Let $B$ be an arbitrary point on the circle ${{w}_{1}}$, and line $B{{A}_{2}}$ intersects circle ${{w}_{2}}$ at point $C$. Let $H$ be the orthocenter of $\Delta B{{A}_{1}}C$. Prove that for arbitrary choice of point $B$, the point $H$ lies on a certain fixed circle.

In the plane let $\,C\,$ be a circle, $\,L\,$ a line tangent to the circle $\,C,\,$ and $\,M\,$ a point on $\,L$. Find the locus of all points $\,P\,$ with the following property: there exists two points $\,Q,R\,$ on $\,L\,$ such that $\,M\,$ is the midpoint of $\,QR\,$ and $\,C\,$ is the inscribed circle of triangle $\,PQR$.
A circle of radius 1 is located in a right-angled trihedron and touches all its faces. Find the locus of centers of such circles.

Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be two non-parallel planes in space, and $A$ a point that does not It is in none of them. For each point $X$, let $X_1$ denote its reflection with respect to $P_1$, and $X_2$ its reflection with respect to $P_2$. Determine the locus of points $X$ for the which $X_1, X_2$ and $A$ are collinear.
Given a fixed acute angle $\theta$ and a pair of internally tangent circles, let the line $l$ which passes through the point of tangency, $A$, cut the larger circle again at $B$ ($l$ does not pass through the centers of the circles). Let $M$ be a point on the major arc $AB$ of the larger circle, $N$ the point where $AM$ intersects the smaller circle, and $P$ the point on ray $MB$ such that $\angle MPN = \theta$. Find the locus of $P$ as $M$ moves on major arc $AB$ of the larger circle.
In the plane, consider a circle with center $S$ and radius $1.$ Let $ABC$ be an arbitrary triangle having this circle as its incircle, and assume that $SA\leq SB\leq SC.$ Find the locus of [b]a.)[/b] all vertices $A$ of such triangles; [b]b.)[/b] all vertices $B$ of such triangles; [b]c.)[/b] all vertices $C$ of such triangles.
$\Phi$ is the union of all triangles that are symmetric of the triangle $ABC$ wrt a point $O$, as point $O$ moves along the triangle's sides. If the area of the triangle is $E$, find the area of $\Phi$.
Given a circle $\omega$ of radius $r$ and a point $A$, which is far from the center of the circle at a distance $d<r$. Find the geometric locus of vertices $C$ of all possible $ABCD$ rectangles, where points $B$ and $D$ lie on the circle $\omega$.
Let $ \alpha $ be a plane and let $ ABC $ be an equilateral triangle situated on a parallel plane whose distance from $ \alpha $ is $ h. $ Find the locus of the points $ M\in\alpha $ for which $$ \left|MA\right| ^2 +h^2 = \left|MB\right|^2 +\left|MC\right|^2. $$
We are given a circle $K$ with center $S$ and radius $1$ and a square $Q$ with center $M$ and side $2$. Let $XY$ be the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle $XY Z$. Describe the locus of points $Z$ as $X$ varies along $K$ and $Y$ varies along the boundary of $Q.$
Consider a plane $\epsilon$ and three non-collinear points $A,B,C$ on the same side of $\epsilon$; suppose the plane determined by these three points is not parallel to $\epsilon$. In plane $\epsilon$ take three arbitrary points $A',B',C'$. Let $L,M,N$ be the midpoints of segments $AA', BB', CC'$; Let $G$ be the centroid of the triangle $LMN$. (We will not consider positions of the points $A', B', C'$ such that the points $L,M,N$ do not form a triangle.) What is the locus of point $G$ as $A', B', C'$ range independently over the plane $\epsilon$?
