Problem 3

Two circles in a plane intersect. Let AA be one of their points of intersection. Starting simultaneously from AA, two points move with constant speeds, each travelling along its own circle in the same sense. The two points return to AA simultaneously after one revolution. Prove that there exists a fixed point PP in the plane such that, at any time, the distances from PP to the moving points are equal.
Step 5 of 5: Apply SAS congruence
△POX≅△O′PX′⟹PX=PX′\triangle POX\cong\triangle O\prime PX\prime\Longrightarrow PX=PX\prime
Detailed analysis

The two triangles have the two corresponding side pairs and included angle equal: OX=O′P, OP=O′X′, and the included angles agree. SAS gives congruence, hence PX=PX′ at every time.
