Isosceles triangle 
has 
, and a circle with radius 
is tangent to line 
at 
and to line 
at 
. What is the area of the circle that passes through vertices 
, , and 
Solution 1
Let the center of the first circle be 
By Pythagorean Theorem,
![\[AO=\sqrt{(3\sqrt{6})^2+(5\sqrt{2})^2}=2 \sqrt{26}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/a/a/faab0344e40b6da42c07a30d261447e99f9aa063.png)
Now, notice that since 
is 
degrees, so arc 
is 
degrees and is the diameter. Thus, the radius is 
so the area is
