Problem
Circle has chord
of length
. Point
lies on chord
such that
Circle
with radius
and
with radius
lie on two different sides of
Both
and
are tangent to
at
and
If the sum of the maximum and minimum values of
is
find
.
Solution
Let be the radius of
and let
be the midpoint of
and let
Note that
. WLOG assume that
Since and
we have
By the Pythagorean Theorem, we have
which is the same as
\
Solving for
and
we have that
Thus,
meaning that the minimum and maximum value of
are both
so the answer is
