Section 2

Let the circles $k_1$ and $k_2$ intersect at two points $A$ and $B$, and let $t$ be a common tangent of $k_1$ and $k_2$ that touches $k_1$ and $k_2$ at $M$ and $N$ respectively. If $t\perp AM$ and $MN=2AM$, evaluate the angle $NMB$.

Solution

[asy] size(15cm,0); draw((0,0)--(0,2)--(4,2)--(4,-3)--(0,0)); draw((-1,2)--(9,2)); draw((0,0)--(2,2)); draw((2,2)--(1,1)); draw(circle((0,1),1)); draw(circle((4,-3),5)); dot((0,0)); dot((0,2)); dot((2,2)); dot((4,2)); dot((4,-3)); dot((1,1)); dot((0,1)); label("A",(0,0),NW); label("B",(1,1),NW); label("M",(0,2),N); label("N",(4,2),N); label("$O_1$",(0,1),NW); label("$O_2$",(4,-3),NE); label("$k_1$",(-0.7,1.7),NW); label("$k_2$",(7.6,0.46),NE); label("$t$",(7.5,2),N); label("P",(2,2),N); [/asy]

Let $O_1$ and $O-2$ be the centers of circles $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively.
