Problem
Let there be a such that
,
, and
, and let
be a point on
such that
Let the circumcircle of
intersect hypotenuse
at
and
. Let
intersect
at
. If the ratio
can be expressed as
where
and
are relatively prime, find
Solution
We claim that
is the angle bisector of
.
Observe that
, which tells us that
is a
triangle. In cyclic quadrilateral
, we have
and
Since
, we have
. This means that
, or equivalently
, is an angle bisector of
in
.
By the angle bisector theorem and our
We seek the lengths
and
.
To find , we can proceed by Power of a Point using point
on circle
to get
Since
,
, and
, we have
Since
, we have
To find , we use the Pythagorean Theorem in
. (We already found
, which tells us that supplementary
.) By the Pythagorean Theorem,
We found that
, and since we are given
, we have
Our answer, by equation , is
. From equation
and from equation
. Therefore, our final answer is
~samrocksnature
Solution 2
Note is cyclic, so
. By Power Of A Point we have
,
. Now, note
Therefore, by Angle Bisector Theorem,
