Figure Sea) shows the circle passing through the four vertices of the square ABCD. A rectangular coordinate system is introduced in Figure Sea) so that the coordinates of A and Bare (0,0) and (8,6) respectively.

Using a suitable transformation, or otherwise, write down the coordinates of D. or otherwise, find the coordinates of the centre of the circle ABCD.

Hence,

A student uses the circle ABCD of Figure Sea) to design a logo for the class association. The process of designing the logo starts by constructing the inscribed circle of the square ABCD such that the inscribed circle touches AB, BC, CD and DA at Aj, Bj, C] and D, respectively. The region between the square ABCD and its inscribed circle is shaded as shown in Figure S(b). The inscribed circle of the square AjB]C]Dj is then constructed such that this inscribed circle touches respectively.
