Question
Excercise 40 Prove that the pairwise radical axes of three circles with not collinear centers meet a
сотmоn pоint.
Hint. Equalities
0,p² – r} = O2P2 – rž and O,P2 – r = O3P? – r
imply that O1P² – r? = O3P² – r, i.e. the intersection point of the radical axes l12 and l23 is on l13
as well. It is called the radical center of the circles.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let A,B and C be three circles with no collinear centers.

Let r1 be the intersection point and l12 be the radical axis of circles A and B.

Let r2 be the intersection point and l23 be the radical axis of circles B and C

Let r3 be the intersection point and l31 be the radical axis of circles C and A.

Let O1, O2, O3 be the centers of the three circles.

Let P be a point, then the radical axis of circles A and B is defined as the line along which the tangents to those circles are equal in length.

O1P2-r12=O2P2-r22

Similarly, the tangents to circles B and C must be equal in length on their radical axis.

O2P2-r22=O3P2-r32
