Equilateral is inscribed in a circle of radius . Extend through to point so that and extend through to point so that Through draw a line parallel to and through draw a line parallel to Let be the intersection of and Let be the point on the circle that is collinear with and and distinct from Given that the area of can be expressed in the form where and are positive integers, and are relatively prime, and is not divisible by the square of any prime, find
Solution 1
Notice that because . Also, because they both correspond to arc . So .
Because the ratio of the area of two similar figures is the square of the ratio of the corresponding sides, . Therefore, the answer is .
Solution 2: Analytic Geometry/Coord Bash
Solution by e_power_pi_times_i/edited by srisainandan6
Let the center of the circle be and the origin. Then, , , . and can be calculated easily knowing and , , . As and are parallel to and , . and is the intersection between and circle . Therefore . Using the Shoelace Theorem, , so the answer is . Note that although the solution may appear short, actually getting all the coordinates take a while as there is plenty of computation.
Note by chrisdiamond10: We can save time calculating the area of the triangle once we have the coordinates of by using . Use as the base, then the base is . The height is easily calculated as , so multiplying base by height and dividing by two we find that the total area is , and our answer is .
Solution 3: Trig
Lines and are constructed such that is a parallelogram, hence . Since is equilateral with angle of , angle is . Use law of cosines to find . Then use law of sines to find angle and .
