On a circle $\omega$ with center O and radius $r$ three different points $A, B$ and $C$ are chosen. Let $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ be the circles that pass through $A$ and are tangent to line $BC$ at points $B$ and $C$, respectively. (a) Show that the product of the areas of $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ is independent of the choice of the points $A, B$ and $C$. (b) Determine the minimum value that the sum of the areas of $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ can take and for what configurations of points $A, B$ and $C$ on $\omega$ this minimum value is reached.
