Each side of a triangle $ABC$ is divided into three equal parts, and the middle segment in each of the sides is painted green. In the exterior of $\triangle ABC$ three equilateral triangles are constructed, in such a way that the three green segments are sides of these triangles. Denote by $A',B',C'$ the vertices of these new equilateral triangles that don’t belong to the edges of $\triangle ABC$, respectively. Let $A'',B'',C''$ be the points symmetric to $A',B',C'$ with respect to $BC,CA,AB$.

(b) Prove that $ABC,A'B'C'$, and $A''B''C''$ have a common centroid.

Prove that the incenter coincides with the circumcenter of a tetrahedron if and only if each pair of opposite edges are of equal length.

A circle $k$ is drawn using a given disc (e.g. a coin). A point $A$ is chosen on $k$. Using just the given disc, determine the point $B$ on $k$ so that $AB$ is a diameter of $k$.

Prove that $\mathcal M$ can be expressed as a composition of at most three rotations in the following way: The first rotation has the center in one of $A,B,C$ and maps $\triangle ABC$ to $\triangle A_1B_1C_1$; The second rotation has the center in one of $A_1,B_1,C_1$, and maps $\triangle A_1B_1C_1$ to $\triangle A_2B_2C_2$; The third rotation has the center in one of $A_2,B_2,C_2$ and maps $\triangle A_2B_2C_2$ to $\triangle A'B'C'$.
