A circle and a line , which does not intersect the circle, are given in the plane. Determine the intersection of all circles with diameters , where is any pair of points on the line for which points on the circle satisfying and exist.
Solution
Let be the center and be the radius of the circle . If and where the points , , , lie on the circle ; then by Miquel's theorem for the triangle , the circumcircles of the triangles and intersect at a point lying on the side .

Considering the powers of the points and with respect to these circles we obtain and . In particular, , and is perpendicular to . Then we also have . Hence, for any pair satisfying the conditions of the problem, the circle with diameter passes through two points on the line which are at a distance away from the line . Since , and are independent of and , these two points are constant and form the intersection set.
