Problem
In acute triangle points
and
are the feet of the perpendiculars from
to
and from
to
, respectively. Line
intersects the circumcircle of
in two distinct points,
and
. Suppose
,
, and
. The value of
can be written in the form
where
and
are positive integers, and
is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find
.

Solution 1
First we have , and
by PoP. Similarly,
and dividing these each by
gives
.
It is known that the sides of the orthic triangle are , and its angles are
,
, and
. We thus have the three sides of the orthic triangle now.
Letting
be the foot of the altitude from
, we have, in
,
similarly, we get
To finish,
The requested sum is
.

Solution 2
Let ,
, and
. Let
. Then
and
.
By Power of a Point theorem,
Thus
. Then
,
, and
Use the Law of Cosines in
to get
, which rearranges to
Upon simplification, this reduces to a linear equation in
, with solution
. Then
So the final answer is

Solution 3
Let ,
,
, and
. By Power of a Point,
Points
and
lie on the circle,
, with diameter
, and pow
, so
Use Law of Cosines in
to get
; since
, this simplifies as
We get
and thus
Therefore
. So the answer is
By asr41
Solution 4 (Clean)
This solution is directly based of @CantonMathGuy's solution. We start off with a key claim.
Claim. and
.
Proof.
Let and
denote the reflections of the orthocenter over points
and
, respectively. Since
and
we have that
is a rectangle. Then, since
we obtain
(which directly follows from
being cyclic); hence
, or
.
Similarly, we can obtain .
A direct result of this claim is that .
Thus, we can set and
, then applying Power of a Point on
we get
. Also, we can set
and
and once again applying Power of a Point (but this time to
) we get
.
Hence,
and the answer is . ~rocketsri
