In quadrilateral ,
. Also,
, and
. The perimeter of
can be expressed in the form
where
and
are relatively prime, and
is not divisible by the square of any prime number. Find
.
Solution
Let , as in the diagram. Thus, from the problem,
. Because
, by Power of a Point, we know that
is cyclic. Thus, we know that
, so, by the congruency of vertical angles and subsequently AA Similarity, we know that
. Thus, we have the proportion
, or, by substitution,
. Solving this equation for
yields
. Similarly, we know that
, so, like before, we can see that
. Thus, we have the proportion
, or, by substitution,
. Solving for
yields
.
Now, we can use Ptolemy's Theorem on cyclic and solve for
:
,
. Thus, the perimeter of
is
. Thus,
.
Solution 2
Consider the figure and notations from Solution 1.
Let .
In triangle
, by the cosine rule,
. (1)
In triangle
, by the cosine rule,
Since
, we have:
Solving for
, we get
.
Now, using the cosine rule in triangles
and
with
(substituting
in (1)), we can find
and
.
After calculations, we get
and
.
The perimeter of
is given by:
Substituting
, we get:
Therefore,
, and
.
