Keywords: vector algebra; power of a point
Summary/Abstract: Vector algebra is a very effective calculation language for doing geometry. It is expressive and succinct, and tends to foster generality and simplicity. In this article we consider from a vector perspective a series of problems concerning circles. After presenting a simple but so far seemingly unnoticed property of the notion of power of a point, we show its application to constructing solutions to the problems.
