1. There are
circles
, which are externally touch each other consecutively in a cycle, i.e., pairs of touching- circles:
and
and
and
and
. Prove that if the centers of the circles form a convex quadrilateral, then it is tangential.
2. Lines
and
touch four circles described in the previous paragraph. Line
separates circles
and
from
and
, i.e. circles
and
are on the same side of the straight line
, and
and
- on the other. Similarly, the line
separates
and
from
and
. Prove that the quadrilateral formed by the centers of the circles is a rhombus.
3. There are
spheres that touch the "dice":
and
(consecutively in a cycle) and
and
(also consecutively in a cycle), as well as
and
and
and
and
. There are also three planes, each touching all eight spheres, where the first separates the spheres
from the spheres
, the second - spheres
and
from
and
, and the third -
and
from
and
. Prove that the centers of the spheres
and
lie in the same plane.
4. The centers of the eight spheres described in the previous paragraph are the vertices of a hexagon with quadrangular faces. Prove that if this hexagon is inscribed, then it is a cube.
