Paul Yiu, Three constructions of Archimedean circles in an arbelos,
Forum Geometricorum, 14 (2014) 255--260.


Abstract. We give ruler and compass constructions of three Archimedean circles in an arbelos, each with the endpoints of a diameter on the smaller semicircles. In the first case, the diameter contains the intersection of the defining smaller semicircles of the arbelos. In the second case, these endpoints are the intersections of the smaller semicircles with the lines joining the endpoints of the base of the arbelos to a fixed point on the dividing perpendicular line. In the third case, the diameter containing these endpoints is parallel to the base line of the arbelos.
