A circle with center has radius 25. Chord of length 30 and chord of length 14 intersect at point . The distance between the midpoints of the two chords is 12. The quantity can be represented as , where and are relatively prime positive integers. Find the remainder when is divided by 1000.
Solution 1
Let and be the midpoints of and , respectively, such that intersects .
Since and are midpoints, and .
and are located on the circumference of the circle, so .
The line through the midpoint of a chord of a circle and the center of that circle is perpendicular to that chord, so and are right triangles (with and being the right angles). By the Pythagorean Theorem, , and .
Let , , and be lengths , , and , respectively. OEP and OFP are also right triangles, so , and
We are given that has length 12, so, using the Law of Cosines with :
Substituting for and , and applying the Cosine of Sum formula:
and are acute angles in right triangles, so substitute opposite/hypotenuse for sines and adjacent/hypotenuse for cosines:
Combine terms and multiply both sides by :
Combine terms again, and divide both sides by 64:
Square both sides:
This reduces to ; .
Solution 2 - Fastest
We begin as in the first solution. Once we see that has side lengths 12,20, and 24, we can compute its area with Heron's formula:
.
So its circumradius is . Since is cyclic with diameter , we have , so and the answer is .
Solution 3
We begin as the first solution have and . Because , Quadrilateral is inscribed in a Circle. Assume point is the center of this circle.
point is on
Link and , Made line , then
On the other hand,
As a result,
Therefore,
As a result,
Solution 4
Let .
Proceed as the first solution in finding that quadrilateral has side lengths , , , and , and diagonals and .
We note that quadrilateral is cyclic and use Ptolemy's theorem to solve for :
Solving, we have so the answer is .
