Chordal: Points with equal tangents to two circles

[b]Proposition:[/b] [i]To find the locus of points at which two given circles have equal power.[/i] The locus is a straight line perpendicular to the line through the circle centers. From any point on this line, we may draw a third circle which is perpendicular to both given circles. ________ For [i]100 Great Problems of Elementary Mathematics[/i], Heinrich Dorrie, #31.
