Two circumferences, with the distance $d$ between centres, intersect in points $P$ and $Q$ . Two lines are drawn through the point $A$ on the first circumference ($Q\ne A\ne P$) and points $P$ and $Q$ . They intersect the second circumference in the points $B$ and $C$ . a) Prove that the radius of the circle, circumscribed around the triangle$ABC$ , equals $d$. b) Describe the set of the new circle's centres, if thepoint $A$ moves along all the first circumference.

Let $S$ be a circle with centre $O$. A chord $AB$, not a diameter, divides $S$ into two regions $R_1$ and $R_2$ such that $O$ belongs to $R_2$. Let $S_1$ be a circle with centre in $R_1$, touching $AB$ at $X$ and $S$ internally. Let $S_2$ be a circle with centre in $R_2$, touching $AB$ at $Y$, the circle $S$ internally and passing through the centre of $S$. The point $X$ lies on the diameter passing through the centre of $S_2$ and $\angle YXO=30^o$. If the radius of $S_2$ is $100 $ then what is the radius of $S_1$?

Dürer explains art history to his students. The following gothic window is examined. Where the center of the arc of $BC$ is $A$, and similarly the center of the arc of $AC$ is $B$. The question is how much is the radius of the circle (radius marked $r$ in the figure).[img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/5/c/28e5ee47005bfde7f925908b519099d5e28d91.png[/img]
