Let ABCABC be a triangle with AC>ABAC > AB and circumcenter OO. The tangents to the circumcircle at AA and BB intersect at TT. The perpendicular bisector of the side BCBC intersects side ACAC at SS.
(a) Prove that the points AA, BB, OO, SS, and TT lie on a common circle. (b) Prove that the line STST is parallel to the side BCBC.
