228. Given an angle MAN and a point $O$ not lying on the side of the angle. Draw a line through $O$ intersecting the sides of the angle at points $X$ and $Y$, such that the product $O X \cdot O Y$ has a given value $k$.
228. Suppose the problem is solved. From OX. $O Y=k$, it follows that $X$ is obtained from point $Y$ by the inversion with center $O$ and power $k$; therefore, $X$ lies on the circle $S$, which is obtained from the line $A N$ by the inversion with center $O$ and power $k$ (i.e., $k$), i.e., $X$ is the intersection point of the line $A M$ and the circle $S$ (which can be constructed). The problem can have up to four solutions.
