easy one one on circles

1)___ let P be any moving point on the circle x2+y2-2x=1

AB be the chord of contact of this point wrt the circle x2+y2-2x=0.

find the locus of the circumcenter of the traingle CAB(C being the centre of circles)

P.S - give ans through a shorter method...some geometry involved i think

oh i thought only A & B are in the same side of x-axis.
If the case is A, B & C are all on the same side of the x-axis, then then answer will be (1/2)(2√3)(2-1) = √3!! :D
