Problem
Triangle is inscribed in circle
. Points
and
are on side
with
. Rays
and
meet
again at
and
(other than
), respectively. If
and
, then
, where
and
are relatively prime positive integers. Find
.
Solution 1
Let
,
, and
. Note that since
we have
, so by the Ratio Lemma
Similarly, we can deduce
and hence
.
Now Law of Sines on ,
, and
yields
Hence
so
Hence
and the requested answer is
.
Edit: Note that the finish is much simpler. Once you get , you can solve quickly from there getting
.
Solution 2 (Projective Geometry)
Projecting through we have
which easily gives
Solution 3
By Ptolemy's Theorem applied to quadrilateral , we find
Therefore, in order to find
, it suffices to find
. We do this using similar triangles, which can be found by using Power of a Point theorem.
As , we find
Therefore,
.
As , we find
Therefore,
.
As , we find
Therefore,
.
As , we find
Therefore,
. Thus we find
But now we can substitute in our previously found values for
and
, finding
Substituting this into our original expression from Ptolemy's Theorem, we find
Thus the answer is
.
Solution 4
Extend past
to point
so that
is cyclic. Then, by Power of a Point on
,
. By Power of a Point on
,
. Thus,
, so
.
By the Inscribed Angle Theorem on ,
. By the Inscribed Angle Theorem on
,
, so
. Since
is cyclic,
. Thus,
, so
. Solving for
yields
, for a final answer of
.

Solution 5 (5 = 2 + 3)
By Ptolemy's Theorem applied to quadrilateral , we find
Projecting through
we have
Therefore

Solution 6
Connect and
So we need to get the ratio of
By clear observation , we have
, LOS tells
so we get
, the desired answer is
leads to
