Problem Statement

Two non-intersecting circles, ω\omega and Ω\Omega, have centers CωC_\omega and CΩC_\Omega respectively. It is given that the radius of Ω\Omega is strictly larger than the radius of ω\omega. The two common external tangents of Ω\Omega and ω\omega intersect at a point PP, and an internal tangent of the two circles intersects the common external tangents at XX and YY. Suppose that the radius of ω\omega is 44, the circumradius of PXY\triangle PXY is 99, and XYXY bisects PCΩ\overline{PC_\Omega}. Compute XYXY.
