Consider a circle with center and radius and let and be two points in the plane of this circle.
a.) Draw a chord of the circle such that is parallel to and the point of the intersection of the lines and lies on the circle.
b.) Show that generally, one gets two possible points ( and ) satisfying the condition of the above problem, and compute the distance between these two points, if the lengths and are given.
