Products Determined by a Point on the Circumcircle


	Let ABC be a triangle and P be a point on the circumcircle of circumradius . Let A' and B' be the perpendicular projections of P onto BC and CA, respectively. Let Q be the perpendicular projection of P onto A'B'. Then . Drag the brown points to change the figure.
