Problem 13
Triangle has side lengths
,
, and
. Points
and
are on ray
with
. The point
is a point of intersection of the circumcircles of
and
satisfying
and
. Then
, where
,
,
, and
are positive integers such that
and
are relatively prime, and
is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find
.
Solution 1
Notice that
By the Law of Cosines,
Then,
Let
,
, and
. Then,
However, since
,
, but since
,
and the requested sum is
.
(Solution by TheUltimate123)
Solution 2
Define to be the circumcircle of
and
to be the circumcircle of
.
Because of exterior angles,
But because
is cyclic. In addition,
because
is cyclic. Therefore,
. But
, so
. Using Law of Cosines on
, we can figure out that
. Since
,
. We are given that
and
, so we can use Law of Cosines on
to find that
.
Let be the intersection of segment
and
. Using Power of a Point with respect to
within
, we find that
. We can also apply Power of a Point with respect to
within
to find that
. Therefore,
.
Note that is similar to
.
. Also note that
is similar to
, which gives us
. Solving this system of linear equations, we get
. Now, we can solve for
, which is equal to
. This simplifies to
, which means our answer is
.
Solution 3
Construct and let
. Let
. Using
,
Using
, it can be found that
This also means that
. It suffices to find
. It is easy to see the following:
Using reverse Law of Cosines on
,
. Using Law of Cosines on
gives
, so
.

Solution 4 (No <C = <DFE, no LoC)
Let . Let
and
; from
we have
and
. From
we have
giving
. So
and
. These similar triangles also gives us
so
. Now, Stewart's Theorem on
and cevian
tells us that
so
. Then
so the answer is
as desired. (Solution by Trumpeter, but not added to the Wiki by Trumpeter)
Solution 5
