A spider built a web on the unit circle. The web is a planar graph with straight edges inside the circle, bounded by the circumference of the circle. Each vertex of the graph lying on the circle belongs to a unique edge, which goes perpendicularly inward to the circle. For each vertex of the graph inside the circle, the sum of the unit outgoing vectors along the edges of the graph is zero. Prove that the total length of the web is equal to the number of its vertices on the circle.

Danielle draws a point $O$ on the plane and a set of points $\mathcal P = \{P_0, P_1, \ldots , P_{2022}\}$ such that $$\angle{P_0OP_1} = \angle{P_1OP_2} = \cdots = \angle{P_{2021}OP_{2022}} = \alpha, \hspace{5pt} 0 < \alpha < \pi,$$where the angles are measured counterclockwise and for $0 \leq n \leq 2022$, $OP_n = r^n$, where $r > 1$ is a given real number. Then, obtain new sets of points in the plane by iterating the following process: given a set of points $\{A_0, A_1, \ldots , A_n\}$ in the plane, it is built a new set of points $\{B_0, B_1, \ldots , B_{n-1}\}$ such that $A_kA_{k+1}B_k$ is an equilateral triangle oriented clockwise for $0 \leq k \leq n - 1$. After carrying out the process $2022$ times from the set $P$, Danielle obtains a single point $X$. If the distance from $X$ to point $O$ is $d$, show that $$(r-1)^{2022} \leq d \leq (r+1)^{2022}.$$
