Equal Chords from Perpendicular Lines
Problem
In the coordinate plane , consider the circles
1. A line through the point meets the circle ; among all such lines, the longest chord cut on is and the shortest is . Find the area of the quadrilateral . 2. Let be a point of the plane with the following property: there exist infinitely many pairs of perpendicular lines and through such that meets , meets , and the chord cut by on has the same length as the chord cut by on . Find the coordinates of all such points .
