Point $M$ moves along the circle $(x - 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 20$. It then breaks away from the circle and moves along a tangent to the circle,passing through the point $(-2, 0)$ on the $x$-axis. The coordinates of the point on the circle at which the moving point broke away can be:

The equation of the normal to the circle $2x^2 + 2y^2 - 2x - 5y + 3 = 0$ at the point $(1, 1)$ is:

Let the lines $(2-i)z = (2+i)\bar{z}$ and $(2+i)z + (i-2)\bar{z} - 4i = 0$ (where $i^2 = -1$) be normal to a circle $C$. If the line $iz + \bar{z} + 1 + i = 0$ is tangent to this circle $C$,then its radius is

If the tangents drawn at the points $O(0,0)$ and $P(1+\sqrt{5}, 2)$ on the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}-2x-4y=0$ intersect at the point $Q$,then the area of the triangle $OPQ$ is equal to

If the pair of tangents drawn to the circle $x^2+y^2=a^2$ from the point $(10,4)$ are perpendicular,then $a=$
