The orange circle is a locus of points with constant sum of square distances from the vertices of a pentagon ABCDE; I.e., |GA|2 + |GB|2 + …+ |GE|2 is a constant. What is the center of the circle?

The orange circle is a locus of points with constant sum of square distances from the vertices of a pentagon ABCDE; I.e., |GA|2 + |GB|2 + …+ |GE|2 is a constant. What is the center of the circle?
The point E moves along the outer circle whose center is G. Points A and B are fixed, whereas F and B’ vary with E. Show that F traces an ellipse as E moves along the outer circle.
What is the locus of points P for which perpendicular lengths (red=l, green=n, purple=m) to the sides of an isosceles triangle satisfy the condition red*green = purple2?
The blue vertex is fixed in the plane. The green vertex can be anywhere on a circle. The yellow vertex completes an equilateral triangle. What is the locus of the yellow vertex?
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.)
What is the locus of orange points for which the purple lines are parallel? The fixed cevians of the triangle BCD are angle bisectors.
