Problem
Circle has radius
, and the point
is a point on the circle. Circle
has radius
and is internally tangent to
at point
. Point
lies on circle
so that
is located
counterclockwise from
on
. Circle
has radius
and is internally tangent to
at point
. In this way a sequence of circles
and a sequence of points on the circles
are constructed, where circle
has radius
and is internally tangent to circle
at point
, and point
lies on
counterclockwise from point
, as shown in the figure below. There is one point
inside all of these circles. When
, the distance from the center
to

, where
and
are relatively prime positive integers. Find
.
Solution 1
Impose a coordinate system and let the center of be

be
. Therefore
,
,
,
, and so on, where the signs alternate in groups of
. The limit of all these points is point
. Using the sum of infinite geometric series formula on
and reducing the expression:
,
. Thus, we get
. The distance from
to the origin is
Let
, and the distance from the origin is
.
.
Solution 2
Let the center of circle be
. Note that
is a right triangle, with right angle at
. Also,
, or
. It is clear that
, so
. Our answer is
-william122
Solution 3
Note that there is an invariance, Consider the entire figure . Perform a
counterclockwise rotation, then scale by
with respect to
. It is easy to see that the new figure
, so
is invariant.
Using the invariance, Let . Then rotating and scaling,
. Equating, we find
. The distance is thus
. Our answer is
-Isogonal
Solution 4
Using the invariance again as in Solution 3, assume is
away from the origin. The locus of possible points is a circle with radius
. Consider the following diagram.
Let the distance from to
be
. As
is invariant,
. Then by Power of a Point,
. Solving,
. Our answer is
-Isogonal
Solution 5 (complex)
Let be the origin. Now note that the ratio of lengths of consecutive line segments is constant and equal to
. Now accounting for rotation by
radians, we see that the common ratio is
. Thus since our first term is
, the total sum (by geometric series formula) is
. We need the distance from
so our distance is
. Our answer is
