problem

Let ${\cal C}_1$ and ${\cal C}_2$ be concentric circles, with ${\cal C}_2$ in the interior of ${\cal C}_1$ . From a point AA on ${\cal C}_1$ one draws the tangent ABAB to ${\cal C}_2$ ( $B\in {\cal C}_2$ ). Let CC be the second point of intersection of ABAB and ${\cal C}_1$ , and let DD be the midpoint of ABAB . A line passing through AA intersects ${\cal C}_2$ at EE and FF in such a way that the perpendicular bisectors of DEDE and CFCF intersect at a point MM on ABAB . Find, with proof, the ratio AM/MCAM/MC .

Let ${\cal C}_1$ and ${\cal C}_2$ be  concentric circles, with ${\cal C}_2$ in the interior of ${\cal C}_1$ . From a point $A$ on ${\cal C}_1$ one draws the tangent $AB$ to ${\cal C}_2$ ( $B\in {\cal C}_2$ ). Let $C$ be the second point of intersection of $AB$ and ${\cal C}_1$ , and let $D$ be the midpoint of $AB$ . A line passing through $A$ intersects ${\cal C}_2$ at $E$ and $F$ in such a way that the perpendicular  bisectors of $DE$ and $CF$ intersect at a point $M$ on $AB$ . Find, with proof,  the ratio $AM/MC$ .
