VMO 1964 Problem 3

    Let PP be a plane and two points A∈(P),O∉(P)A \in (P),O \notin (P) . For each line in (P)(P) through AA , let HH be the foot of the perpendicular from OO to the line. Find the locus (c)(c) of HH . Denote by (C)(C) the oblique cone with peak OO and base (c)(c) . Prove that all planes, either parallel to (P)(P) or perpendicular to OAOA , intersect (C)(C) by circles. Consider the two symmetric faces of (C)(C) that intersect (C)(C) by the angles α\alpha and β\beta respectively. Find a relation between α\alpha and β\beta .
