Problem 15
In , , , and . Circle intersects at and , at and , and at and . Given that and , length , where and are relatively prime positive integers, and is a positive integer not divisible by the square of any prime. Find .
Solution
Solution 1 First we note that is an isosceles right triangle with hypotenuse the same as the diameter of . We also note that since is a right angle and the ratios of the sides are .
From congruent arc intersections, we know that , and that from similar triangles is also congruent to . Thus, is an isosceles triangle with , so is the midpoint of and . Similarly, we can find from angle chasing that . Therefore, is the angle bisector of . From the angle bisector theorem, we have , so and .
Lastly, we apply power of a point from points and with respect to and have and , so we can compute that and . From the Pythagorean Theorem, we result in , so
Solution 2 From solution 1, we have CG = 5/2 and = = . Therefore, is isosceles with EF = EA. Let EF = x, then DE = \sqrt{2}x. Therefore . Using Cosine rule on (14x - 25)(2x + 25) = 0 and x = \frac{25}{14}. Hence, , so
