# Circles

Given that $$\omega_1$$ and $$\omega_2$$ are two circles which intersects at points $$X$$ and $$Y$$. Let $$P$$ be an arbitrary points on $$\omega_1$$. Suppose that the lines $$PX$$ and $$PY$$ meet $$\omega_2$$ again at points $$A$$ and $$B$$, respectively.

Prove that the circumcircles of all triangles $$PAB$$ have the same radius.

Problem 1

We can see that as we move the point $$P$$ on the circumference of the circle$$[$$excluding $$X$$ and $$Y],$$the $$\angle XPY=\angle XP_1Y$$ remains constant.So this shows that $$AB=A_1B_1.$$Now we use extended sin rule to complete the problem.
Let the circum-radius of $$\triangle PAB$$ be $$R$$ and $$\triangle P_1A_1B_1$$ be $$R_1.$$
In $$\triangle PAB, \frac{AB}{sin\angle P}=2R$$ and in $$\triangle P_1A_1B_1,\frac{A_1B_1}{sin\angle P_1}=\frac{AB}{sin\angle P}=2R_1.$$ Therefore $$2R=2R_1\Rightarrow\boxed {R=R_1}.$$Hence Proved. · 5 months ago

Very good solution. Very much clear also. I understood it now. · 5 months ago

Thanks...My fav. is geometry.I see that u like olympiad problems.Can u give some links of ur problems?did u get selected in INMO?? · 5 months ago

I have many interesting books regarding IMO. I post problems from there only.

I have that books in PDF.

Actually I am attending KVS INMO camp for INMO 2017. I have to give INMO directly.

By the way, from which book you do geometry problems? · 4 months, 4 weeks ago

Please share these resources with me also.

and also give the INMO paper to this email.Did u write RMO this year · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Yes I appeared in RMO this year from KVS region. · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

How many did u solve? · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

I solved 4 and half. · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Awesome! Send me the question paper also then · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Sometimes co-exter or pre-college maths.Can u give the pdf of the books to this email : raiayush234@gmail.com · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

I have sent IMO books and KVS RMO 2016 paper to your e-mails.

Check your mail. · 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Thanks a lot bro. · 4 months, 2 weeks ago

I have 36 Olympiad books related to IMO. Do you want all of them? · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Yeah I also want em all. · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

yup.sure.send it to my email. · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Ok no problem.

Can you tell me the author of co-exter book? · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

H. S. M. Coxeter and S. L. Greitzer · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Is it Geometry revisited by MAA? · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

yup · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

That is not so good. It's good for reading only. It has less computational problems. · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

yup.i use it to learn new stuff. · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Do you have any good book regarding NUMBER THEORY? · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

can u give ur email ID · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

I gave. See above. · 4 months, 3 weeks ago

This is there in IF Sharygin, plane geometry. · 5 months, 1 week ago

A problem copied from IF Sharygin Plane geometry. This is bad. · 5 months, 1 week ago

Why will I copy? This is RMO Delhi's problem · 5 months, 1 week ago

What I am saying and what are you understanding.

I am blaming RMO people that they have took this problem from a popular book which usually does not happen. · 5 months, 1 week ago

The inequality problem in Delhi region was also copied.I don't remember the source, but I had seen it before RMO on some forum.

This is disappointing :( · 5 months, 1 week ago

Actually this year Delhi paper was prepared by Delhi coordinator only not by HBCSE. So he copied many things because framing a question requires a lot of time. · 5 months, 1 week ago
