- The following problem is from both the 2009 AMC 12A #10 and 2009 AMC 10A #12, so both problems redirect to this page.
Problem
In quadrilateral ,
,
,
,
, and
is an integer. What is
?
![[asy] unitsize(4mm); defaultpen(linewidth(.8pt)+fontsize(8pt)); dotfactor=4; pair C=(0,0), B=(17,0); pair D=intersectionpoints(Circle(C,5),Circle(B,13))[0]; pair A=intersectionpoints(Circle(D,9),Circle(B,5))[0]; pair[] dotted={A,B,C,D}; draw(D--A--B--C--D--B); dot(dotted); label("$D$",D,NW); label("$C$",C,W); label("$B$",B,E); label("$A$",A,NE); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/5/7/0/570b698fea7c6d66beab04dd6aee44dd24f2b6c1.png)
Solution
By the triangle inequality we have , and also
, hence
.
We got that , and as we know that
is an integer, we must have
.
