What is the area of the entire figure (in terms of x) given that the segments AB, CD, EF,…, QR are all semicircle diameters, and the lengths decrease geometrically ( AB=2, CD = 2x, EF= 2x^2, GH = 2x^3,…)?

Double eclipse
Given green and blue discs, construct a red region so that for every ray leaving L stays in the blue region exactly as long as it does in the pink region. (Namely, KM = OL.)
The belly button
A quarter circle with a right triangle. Prove that the red point is the incentre of this triangle.
Steam roller
Two intersecting circles. Express the lengths b and the common tangent d in terms of c (the distance between the centres) and the angles β and γ.
Under the dome
Two semicircles with four squares and a yellow rectangle. What is the aspect ratio of the latter?
Pull the string
Two regular hexagons and a circumcircle. What is blue : red?
Fair scoop
What is the ratio of areas purple : orange if the cone angle is 45°, and the circular arc is a semicircle?
Mother’s umbrella
A circle containing two internally tangent circles. Prove that the red triangle is isosceles.
Antennas above and below
The triangle ABC has orthocentre H, so that HA is an antenna above the green hill. The rectangle BCDE is inscribed in the circumcircle (ABC). Show that HA = CD = BE.
Crashing the kite
The orange lines are parallel, the purple lines are parallel, the dotted gray lines intersect the base at equal distances. What is the ratio of areas of the blue and green triangles?
