Problem
In ,
, and
. A circle with center
and radius
intersects
at points
and
. Moreover
and
have integer lengths. What is
?
Solution
Solution 1
Let CX=x, BX=y. Let the circle intersect AC at D and the diameter including AD intersect the circle again at E. Use power of a point on point C to the circle centered at A.
So CX*CB=CD*CE x(x+y)=(97-86)(97+86) x(x+y)=3*11*61.
Obviously x+y>x so we have three solution pairs for (x,x+y)=(1,2013),(3,671),(11,183),(33,61). By the Triangle Inequality, only x+y=61 yields a possible length of BX+CX=BC.
Therefore, the answer is D) 61.
Solution 2
Let be the perpendicular from
to
,
,
, then by Pythagorean Theorem,
Subtracting the two equations, we get ,
then the rest is similar to the above solution by power of points.
Solution 3
Let represent
, and let
represent
. Since the circle goes through
and
,
=
= 86.
Then by Stewart's Theorem,
(Since cannot be equal to 0, dividing both sides of the equation by
is allowed.)
The prime factors of 2013 are 3, 11, and 61. Obviously, . In addition, by the Triangle Inequality,
, so
. Therefore,
must equal 33, and
must equal 61.
