Square $ABCD$ has center $O,\ AB=900,\ E$ and $F$ are on $AB$ with $AE<BF$ and $E$ between $A$ and $F, m\angle EOF =45^\circ,$ and $EF=400.$ Given that $BF=p+q\sqrt{r},$ where $p,q,$ and $r$ are positive integers and $r$ is not divisible by the square of any prime, find $p+q+r.$

Solutions

Solution 1 (trigonometry)

$[asy] size(200); defaultpen(linewidth(0.7)+fontsize(10)); pair A=(0,9), B=(9,9), C=(9,0), D=(0,0), E=(2.5-0.5*sqrt(7),9), F=(6.5-0.5*sqrt(7),9), G=(4.5,9), O=(4.5,4.5); draw(A--B--C--D--A);draw(E--O--F);draw(G--O); dot(A^^B^^C^^D^^E^^F^^G^^O); label("$A$",A,(-1,1));label("$B$",B,(1,1));label("$C$",C,(1,-1));label("$D$",D,(-1,-1)); label("$E$",E,(0,1));label("$F$",F,(1,1));label("$G$",G,(-1,1));label("$O$",O,(1,-1)); label("$x$",E/2+G/2,(0,1));label("$y$",G/2+F/2,(0,1)); label("$450$",(O+G)/2,(-1,1)); [/asy]$

Let $G$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $O$ to $AB$ . Denote $x = EG$ and $y = FG$ , and $x > y$ (since $AE < BF$ and $AG = BG$ ). Then $\tan \angle EOG = \frac{x}{450}$ , and $\tan \angle FOG = \frac{y}{450}$ .

By the tangent addition rule $\left( \tan (a + b) = \frac{\tan a + \tan b}{1 - \tan a \tan b} \right)$ , we see that $\tan 45 = \tan (EOG + FOG) = \frac{\frac{x}{450} + \frac{y}{450}}{1 - \frac{x}{450} \cdot \frac{y}{450}}.$ Since $\tan 45 = 1$ , this simplifies to $1 - \frac{xy}{450^2} = \frac{x + y}{450}$ . We know that $x + y = 400$ , so we can substitute this to find that $1 - \frac{xy}{450^2} = \frac 89 \Longrightarrow xy = 150^2$ .

Substituting $x = 400 - y$ again, we know have $xy = (400 - y)y = 150^2$ . This is a quadratic with roots $200 \pm 50\sqrt{7}$ . Since $y < x$ , use the smaller root, $200 - 50\sqrt{7}$ .

Now, $BF = BG - FG = 450 - (200 - 50\sqrt{7}) = 250 + 50\sqrt{7}$ . The answer is $250 + 50 + 7 = \boxed{307}$ .

Solution 2 (synthetic)

$[asy] size(200); defaultpen(linewidth(0.7)+fontsize(10)); pair A=(0,9), B=(9,9), C=(9,0), D=(0,0), E=(2.5-0.5*sqrt(7),9), F=(6.5-0.5*sqrt(7),9), O=(4.5,4.5), G=O+(E-O)*dir(-90), J=O+(F-O)*dir(-90); draw(A--B--C--D--A);draw(E--O--F);draw(G--O--J);draw(F--G,linetype("4 4")); dot(A^^B^^C^^D^^E^^F^^G^^J^^O); label("$A$",A,(-1,1));label("$B$",B,(1,1));label("$C$",C,(1,-1));label("$D$",D,(-1,-1)); label("$E$",E,(0,1));label("$F$",F,(1,1));label("$G$",G,(1,0));label("$J$",J,(1,0));label("$O$",O,(1,-1)); label("$x$",(B+F)/2,(0,1)); label("$400$",(E+F)/2,(0,1)); label("$900$",(C+D)/2,(0,-1)); [/asy]$

Label $BF=x$ , so $EA =$ $500 - x$ . Rotate $\triangle{OEF}$ about $O$ until $EF$ lies on $BC$ . Now we know that $\angle{EOF}=45^\circ$ therefore $\angle BOF+\angle AOE=45^\circ$ also since $O$ is the center of the square. Label the new triangle that we created $\triangle OGJ$ . Now we know that rotation preserves angles and side lengths, so $BG=500-x$ and $JC=x$ . Draw $GF$ and $OB$ . Notice that $\angle BOG =\angle OAE$ since rotations preserve the same angles so $\angle{FOG}=45^\circ$ too. By SAS we know that $\triangle FOE\cong \triangle FOG,$ so $FG=400$ . Now we have a right $\triangle BFG$ with legs $x$ and $500-x$ and hypotenuse $400$ . By the Pythagorean Theorem,

$\begin{align*} (500-x)^2+x^2&=400^2 \\ 250000-1000x+2x^2&=16000 \\ 90000-1000x+2x^2&=0 \end{align*}$

and applying the quadratic formula we get that $x=250\pm 50\sqrt{7}$ . Since $BF > AE,$ we take the positive root, and our answer is $p+q+r = 250 + 50 + 7 = 307$ .

Solution 3 (similar triangles)

$[asy] size(3inch); pair A, B, C, D, M, O, X, Y; A = (0,900); B = (900,900); C = (900,0); D = (0,0); M = (450,900); O = (450,450); X = (250 - 50*sqrt(7),900); Y = (650 - 50*sqrt(7),900); draw(A--B--C--D--cycle); draw(X--O--Y); draw(M--O--A); label("$A$",A,NW); label("$B$",B,NE); label("$C$",C,SE); label("$D$",D,SW); label("$E$",X,N); label("$F$",Y,NNE); label("$O$",O,S); label("$M$",M,N); [/asy]$ Let the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ be $M$ and let $FB = x$ , so then $MF = 450 - x$ and $AF = 900 - x$ . Drawing $\overline{AO}$ , we have $\triangle OEF\sim\triangle AOF$ , so $\frac{OF}{EF} = \frac{AF}{OF}\Rightarrow (OF)^2 = 400(900 - x).$ By the Pythagorean Theorem on $\triangle OMF$ , $(OF)^2 = 450^2 + (450 - x)^2.$ Setting these two expressions for $(OF)^2$ equal and solving for $x$ (it is helpful to scale the problem down by a factor of 50 first), we get $x = 250\pm 50\sqrt{7}$ . Since $BF > AE$ , we want the value $x = 250 + 50\sqrt{7}$ , and the answer is $250 + 50 + 7 = \boxed{307}$ .

Solution 4 (Abusing Stewart)

Let $x = BF$ , so $AE = 500-x$ . Let $a = OE$ , $b = OF$ . Applying Stewart's Theorem on triangles $AOB$ twice, first using $E$ as the base point and then $F$ , we arrive at the equations $(450 \sqrt{2})^2 (900) = 900(500-x)(400+x) + a^2 (900)$ and $(450 \sqrt{2})^2 (900) = 900x(900-x) + b^2 (900)$ Now applying law of sines and law of cosines on $\triangle EOF$ yields $\frac{1}{2} ab \sin 45^{\circ} = \frac{4}{9} \times \frac{1}{4} \times 900^2 = 202500$ and $a^2+b^2- 2 ab \cos 45^{\circ} = 160000$ Solving for $ab$ from the sines equation and plugging into the law of cosines equation yields $a^2+b^2 = 290000$ . We now finish by adding the two original stewart equations and obtaining: $2(450\sqrt{2})^2 = (500-x)(400+x)+x(900-x)+520000$ This is a quadratic which only takes some patience to solve for $x = 250 + 50\sqrt{7}$

Solution 5 (Complex Numbers)

Let lower case letters be the complex numbers correspond to their respective upper case points in the complex plane, with $o = 0, a = -450 + 450i, b = 450 + 450i$ , and $f = x + 450i$ . Since $EF$ = 400, $e = (x-400) + 450i$ . From $\angle{EOF} = 45^{\circ}$ , we can deduce that the rotation of point $F$ 45 degrees counterclockwise, $E$ , and the origin are collinear. In other words, $\dfrac{e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} \cdot (x + 450i)}{(x - 400) + 450i}$ is a real number. Simplyfying using the fact that $e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + i \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ , clearing the denominator, and setting the imaginary part equal to $0$ , we eventually get the quadratic $x^2 - 400x + 22500 = 0$ which has solutions $x = 200 \pm 50\sqrt{7}$ . It is given that $AE < BF$ , so $x = 200 - 50\sqrt{7}$ and $BF = 450 - (200 - 50\sqrt{7}) = 250 + 50\sqrt{7} \Rightarrow \boxed{307}.$

Solution 6

$[asy] size(250); pair A,B,C,D,O,E,F,G,H,K; A = (0,0); B = (900,0); C = (900,900); D = (0,900); O = (450,450); E = (600,0); F = (150,0); G = (-600,0); H = (450,0); K = (0,270); draw(A--B--C--D--cycle); draw(O--E); draw(O--F); draw(O--G); draw(A--G); draw(O--H); label("O",O,N); label("A",A,S); label("B",B,SE); label("C",C,NE); label("D",D,NW); label("E",E,SE); label("F",F,S); label("H",H,SW); label("G",G,SW); label("x",H--E,S); label("K",K,NW); [/asy]$ Let G be a point such that it lies on AB, and GOE is 90 degrees. Let H be foot of the altitude from O to AB. Since $\triangle GOE \sim \triangle OHE$ , $\frac{GO}{OE} = \frac{450}{x}$ , and by Angle Bisector Theorem, $\frac{GF}{FE} = \frac{450}{x}$ . Thus, $GF = \frac{450 \cdot 400}{x}$ . $AF = AH-FH = 50+x$ , and $KA = EB$ (90 degree rotation), and now we can bash on 2 similar triangles $\triangle GAK \sim \triangle GHO$ .

$\frac{GA}{AK} = \frac{GH}{OH}$ $\frac{\frac{450 \cdot 400}{x}-50-x}{450-x} = \frac{\frac{450 \cdot 400}{x}+400-x}{450}$ I hope you like expanding $x^2 - 850x + \frac{81000000}{x} = -450x - 22500 + \frac{81000000}{x}$ $x^2 - 400x + 22500 = 0$ Quadratic formula gives us $x = 200 \pm 50 \sqrt{7}$ Since AE < BF $x = 200 - 50 \sqrt{7}$ Thus, $BF = 250 + 50 \sqrt{7}$ So, our answer is $\boxed{307}$ .

Solution 7 (Using a Circle)

$[asy] size(200); defaultpen(linewidth(0.7)+fontsize(10)); pair A=(0,9), B=(9,9), C=(9,0), D=(0,0), E=(2.5-0.5*sqrt(7),9), F=(6.5-0.5*sqrt(7),9), G=(4.5-0.5*sqrt(7),7), O=(4.5,4.5), H=(4.5-0.5*sqrt(7),4.5), I=(0,4.5), J=(4.5-0.5*sqrt(7),9); draw(A--B--C--D--A); draw(E--O--F); draw(J--G); draw(E--G--F); draw(G--H--O--G); draw(I--H); draw(circle(G,2*sqrt(2))); markscalefactor=0.05; draw(rightanglemark(E,G,F)); dot(A^^B^^C^^D^^E^^F^^G^^H^^I^^J^^O); label("$A$",A,(-1,1)); label("$B$",B,(1,1)); label("$C$",C,(1,-1)); label("$D$",D,(-1,-1)); label("$E$",E,(0,1)); label("$F$",F,(1,1)); label("$G$",G,(1,0)); label("$H$",H,(-1,1)); label("$I$",I,(-1,0)); label("$J$",J,(0,1)); label("$O$",O,(1,-1)); [/asy]$

We know that G is on the perpendicular bisector of $EF$ , which means that $EJ=JF=200$ , $EG=GF=200\sqrt{2}$ and $GH=250$ . Now, let $HO$ be equal to $x$ . We can set up an equation with the Pythagorean Theorem:

$\begin{align*} \sqrt{x^2+250^2}&=(200\sqrt{2})^2 \\ x^2+62500&=80000 \\ x^2&=17500 \\ x&=50\sqrt{7} \end{align*}$

Now, since $IO=450$ ,

$\begin{align*} HI&=450-x \\ &=450-50\sqrt{7} \\ \end{align*} \\$

Since $HI=AJ$ , we now have:

$\begin{align*} BF&=AB-AJ-JF \\ &=900-(450-50\sqrt{7})-200 \\ &=250+50\sqrt{7} \\ \end{align*}$

This means that our answer would be $250+50+7=\boxed{307}$

Solution 8 (More Similar Triangles)

Construct $BO, AO.$ Let $\angle{FOB} = \alpha.$ Also let $FB = x$ then $AE = 500-x.$ We then have from simple angle-chasing: $\begin{align*} \angle{BFO} = 135 - \alpha \\ \angle{OFE} = 45 + \alpha \\ \angle{EOA} = 45 - \alpha \\ \angle{AEO} = 90 + \alpha \\ \angle{OEF} = 90 - \alpha. \end{align*}$ From AA similarity we have $\triangle{EOB} \sim \triangle{EFO}.$ This gives the ratios, $\dfrac{400 + x}{EO} = \dfrac{450\sqrt{2}}{FO}.$ Similarly from AA similarity $\triangle{FOA} \sim \triangle{FEO}.$ So we get the ratios $\dfrac{EO}{450\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{FO}{900-x}.$ We can multiply to get $\dfrac{400 + x}{450\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{450\sqrt{2}}{900 - x}.$ Cross-multiplying reveals $360000 + 500x - x^2 = 405000.$ Bringing everything to one side we have $x^2 - 500x + 45000 = 0.$ By the quadratic formula we get $x = \dfrac{500 + \sqrt{500^2 - 4\cdot45000}}{2} = \dfrac{500 + \sqrt{70000}}{2} = \dfrac{500 + 100\sqrt{7}}{2} = 250 + 50\sqrt{7}.$ Therefore $p+q+r = 250 + 50 + 7 = \boxed{307}.$ ~aa1024

Solution 9

We use ratio lemma and Stewart's theorem: Connect $OA, OE, OF, OB$ and let $AE = x$ and $BF = 500 - x.$ Let angle $AOE = y,$ hence $BOF = 45 - y.$ Now, we apply Stewart's theorem in triangles $AOF$ and $BOE$ to get $OE$ and $OF$ in terms of $x$ finally, calculate $x/400$ and $500-x/400$ using ratio lemma to find $x$ and $y$

Solution 10(Similar Triangles)

Draw AO, OB, and extend OB to D. Let $\angle{FOB} = \alpha.$ Then, after angle chasing, we find that $\angle{AEB} = 90 + \alpha$ . Using this, we draw a line perpendicular to $AB$ at $E$ to meet $BD$ at $M$ . Since $\angle{MEO} = \alpha$ and $\angle{EMO} = 45$ , we have that $\triangle{EMO} \sim \triangle{OBF}$ Let $FB = x$ . Then $EM = 400+x$ . Since $FB/BO = \frac{x}{450\sqrt{2}}$ , and $MO/EM = FB/OB$ , we have $MO = \frac{(400+x)x}{450\sqrt{2}}$ Since $\triangle{EBM}$ is a $45-45-90$ triangle, $(400+x)\sqrt{2} = 450 \sqrt{2} + \frac{(400+x)x}{450\sqrt{2}}$ Solving for $x$ , we get that $x=250 +- 50s\sqrt{7}$ , but since $FB>AE$ , $FB = 250+50\sqrt{7}$ , thus $p+q+r=\boxed{307}$ -dchang0524

+<cmath>\frac{GA}{AK} = \frac{GH}{OH}</cmath>
+<cmath>\frac{\frac{450 \cdot 400}{x}-50-x}{450-x} = \frac{\frac{450 \cdot 400}{x}+400-x}{450}</cmath>
+I hope you like expanding
+<cmath>x^2 - 850x + \frac{81000000}{x} = -450x - 22500 + \frac{81000000}{x}</cmath>
+<cmath>x^2 - 400x + 22500 = 0</cmath>
+Quadratic formula gives us
+<cmath>x = 200 \pm 50 \sqrt{7}</cmath>
+Since AE < BF
+<cmath>x = 200 - 50 \sqrt{7}</cmath>
+Thus,
+<cmath>BF = 250 + 50 \sqrt{7}</cmath>
+So, our answer is <math>\boxed{307}</math>.

+We know that G is on the perpendicular bisector of <math>EF</math>, which means that <math>EJ=JF=200</math>, <math>EG=GF=200\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>GH=250</math>. Now, let <math>HO</math> be equal to <math>x</math>. We can set up an equation with the Pythagorean Theorem:
+<cmath>
+\begin{align*}
+\sqrt{x^2+250^2}&=(200\sqrt{2})^2 \\
+x^2+62500&=80000 \\
+x^2&=17500 \\
+x&=50\sqrt{7}
+\end{align*}
+</cmath>
+Now, since <math>IO=450</math>,
+<cmath>
+\begin{align*}
+HI&=450-x \\
+&=450-50\sqrt{7} \\
+\end{align*} \\
+</cmath>
+Since <math>HI=AJ</math>, we now have:
+<cmath>
+\begin{align*}
+BF&=AB-AJ-JF \\
+&=900-(450-50\sqrt{7})-200 \\
+&=250+50\sqrt{7} \\
+\end{align*}
+</cmath>
+This means that our answer would be <math>250+50+7=\boxed{307}</math>

+=== Solution 8 (More Similar Triangles) ===
+Construct <math>BO, AO.</math> Let <math>\angle{FOB} = \alpha.</math> Also let <math>FB = x</math> then <math>AE = 500-x.</math> We then have from simple angle-chasing:
+<cmath>
+\begin{align*}
+\angle{BFO} = 135 - \alpha \\
+\angle{OFE} = 45 + \alpha \\
+\angle{EOA} = 45 - \alpha \\
+\angle{AEO} = 90 + \alpha \\
+\angle{OEF} = 90 - \alpha.
+\end{align*}
+</cmath>
+From AA similarity we have <cmath>\triangle{EOB} \sim \triangle{EFO}.</cmath> This gives the ratios,
+<cmath>\dfrac{400 + x}{EO} = \dfrac{450\sqrt{2}}{FO}.</cmath>
+Similarly from AA similarity <cmath>\triangle{FOA} \sim \triangle{FEO}.</cmath> So we get the ratios <cmath>\dfrac{EO}{450\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{FO}{900-x}.</cmath> We can multiply to get
+<cmath>\dfrac{400 + x}{450\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{450\sqrt{2}}{900 - x}.</cmath> Cross-multiplying reveals
+<cmath>360000 + 500x - x^2 = 405000.</cmath> Bringing everything to one side we have <cmath>x^2 - 500x + 45000 = 0.</cmath> By the quadratic formula we get <cmath>x = \dfrac{500 + \sqrt{500^2 - 4\cdot45000}}{2} = \dfrac{500 + \sqrt{70000}}{2} = \dfrac{500 + 100\sqrt{7}}{2} = 250 + 50\sqrt{7}.</cmath>
+Therefore
+<cmath>p+q+r = 250 + 50 + 7 = \boxed{307}.</cmath>

+=== Solution 9 ===
+We use ratio lemma and Stewart's theorem:
+Connect <math>OA, OE, OF, OB</math> and let <math>AE = x</math> and <math>BF = 500 - x.</math>
+Let angle <math>AOE = y,</math> hence <math>BOF = 45 - y.</math>
+Now, we apply Stewart's theorem in triangles <math>AOF</math> and <math>BOE</math> to get <math>OE</math> and <math>OF</math> in terms of <math>x</math>
+finally, calculate <math>x/400</math> and <math>500-x/400</math> using ratio lemma to find <math>x</math> and <math>y</math>
+=== Solution 10(Similar Triangles) ===
+Draw AO, OB, and extend OB to D. Let <math>\angle{FOB} = \alpha.</math> Then, after angle chasing, we find that <cmath>\angle{AEB} = 90 + \alpha</cmath>.
+Using this, we draw a line perpendicular to <math>AB</math> at <math>E</math> to meet <math>BD</math> at <math>M</math>. Since <math>\angle{MEO} = \alpha</math> and <math>\angle{EMO} = 45</math>, we have that <cmath>\triangle{EMO} \sim \triangle{OBF}</cmath>
+Let <math>FB = x</math>. Then <math>EM = 400+x</math>. Since <math>FB/BO = \frac{x}{450\sqrt{2}}</math>, and <math>MO/EM = FB/OB</math>, we have <cmath>MO = \frac{(400+x)x}{450\sqrt{2}}</cmath>
+Since <math>\triangle{EBM}</math> is a <math>45-45-90</math> triangle, <cmath>(400+x)\sqrt{2} = 450
+\sqrt{2} + \frac{(400+x)x}{450\sqrt{2}}</cmath>
+Solving for <math>x</math>, we get that <math>x=250 +- 50s\sqrt{7}</math>, but since <math>FB>AE</math>, <math>FB = 250+50\sqrt{7}</math>, thus <cmath>p+q+r=\boxed{307}</cmath>
