let center of circle be origin.  P(−1,0)  ;  B(p,−1)  ;  D(−1,q)  ⇒  BQ=p  let ∠ABQ=2θ  tan θ=(1/p)  Q(p−pcos 2θ , psin 2θ−1)  Q{p(1−((1−(1/p^2 ))/(1+(1/p^2 )))), (2/(1+(1/p^2 )))−1}  ⇒     Q(((2p)/(p^2 +1)),  ((p^2 −1)/(p^2 +1)))  PQ=BQ  ⇒  (((2p)/(p^2 +1))+1)^2 +(((p^2 −1)/(p^2 +1)))^2 =p^2   ⇒  (p+1)^4 +(p−1)^2 (p+1)^2 =p^2 (p^2 +1)^2   ⇒  2(p+1)^2 =p^2 (p^2 +1)  ⇒   p^4 −p^2 −4p−2=0  ⇒   p ≈ 1.90897  AB = p+1 ≈ 2.90897  ....
