A finite set $\mathcal S$ of distinct positive real numbers is called [i]radiant[/i] if it satisfies the following property: if $a$ and $b$ are two distinct elements of $\mathcal S$, then $a^2 + b^2$ is also an element of $\mathcal S$.

The sequence $ \{x_{n}\}_{n \ge 1}$ is defined by

Consider the figure (attached), where every small triangle is equilateral with side length 1. Compute
the area of the polygon $ AEKS $.
(Fun fact: this problem was originally going to ask for the area of $ DANK $, as in "dank memes!")

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with $AB > AC$. Let $\Gamma $ be its circumcircle, $H$ its orthocenter, and $F$ the foot of the altitude from $A$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$.

Assume that the points $A$, $B$, $C$, $K$ and $Q$ are all different and lie on $\Gamma$ in this order.
Prove that the circumcircles of triangles $KQH$ and $FKM$ are tangent to each other.
