+ | Let <math>O</math> be center of the circle and <math>P</math>,<math>Q</math> be the two points of tangent such that <math>P</math> is on <math>BI</math> and <math>Q</math> is on <math>AI</math>. We know that <math>AD:CD = CD:BD = 12:35</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Since the ratios between corresponding lengths of two similar diagrams are equal, we can let <math>AD = 144, CD = 420</math> and <math>BD = 1225</math>. Hence <math>AQ = 144, BP = 1225, AB = 1369</math> and the radius <math>r = OD = 210</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Since we have <math>\tan OAB = \frac {35}{24}</math> and <math>\tan OBA = \frac{6}{35}</math> , we have <math>\sin {(OAB + OBA)} = \frac {1369}{\sqrt {(1801*1261)}},</math><math>\cos {(OAB + OBA)} = \frac {630}{\sqrt {(1801*1261)}}</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hence <math>\sin I = \sin {(2OAB + 2OBA)} = \frac {2*1369*630}{1801*1261}</math>. let <math>IP = IQ = x</math> , then we have Area<math>(IBC)</math> = <math>(2x + 1225*2 + 144*2)*\frac {210}{2}</math> = <math>(x + 144)(x + 1225)* \sin {\frac {I}{2}}</math>. Then we get <math>x + 1369 = \frac {3*1369*(x + 144)(x + 1225)}{1801*1261}</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now the equation looks very complex but we can take a guess here. Assume that <math>x</math> is a rational number | ||
+ | (If it's not then the answer to the problem would be irrational which can't be in the form of <math>\frac {m}{n}</math>) | ||
+ | that can be expressed as <math>\frac {a}{b}</math> such that <math>(a,b) = 1</math>. Look at both sides; we can know that <math>a</math> has to be a multiple of <math>1369</math> and not of <math>3</math> and it's reasonable to think that <math>b</math> is divisible by <math>3</math> so that we can cancel out the <math>3</math> on the right side of the equation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Let's see if <math>x = \frac {1369}{3}</math> fits. Since <math>\frac {1369}{3} + 1369 = \frac {4*1369}{3}</math>, and <math>\frac {3*1369*(x + 144)(x + 1225)}{1801*1261} = \frac {3*1369* \frac {1801}{3} * \frac {1261*4}{3}} {1801*1261} = \frac {4*1369}{3}</math>. Amazingly it fits! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Since we know that <math>3*1369*144*1225 - 1369*1801*1261 < 0</math>, the other solution of this equation is negative which can be ignored. Hence <math>x = 1369/3</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hence the perimeter is <math>1225*2 + 144*2 + \frac {1369}{3} *2 = 1369* \frac {8}{3}</math>, and <math>BC</math> is <math>1369</math>. Hence <math>\frac {m}{n} = \frac {8}{3}</math>, <math>m + n = 11</math>. | ||

+ | ==Solution 2== | ||
+ | As in Solution <math>1</math>, let <math>P</math> and <math>Q</math> be the intersections of <math>\omega</math> with <math>BI</math> and <math>AI</math> respectively. | ||
+ | |||
+ | First, by pythagorean theorem, <math>AB = \sqrt{12^2+35^2} = 37</math>. Now the area of <math>ABC</math> is <math>1/2*12*35 = 1/2*37*CD</math>, so <math>CD=\frac{420}{37}</math> and the inradius of <math>\triangle ABI</math> is <math>r=\frac{210}{37}</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now from <math>\triangle CDB \sim \triangle ACB</math> we find that <math>\frac{BC}{BD} = \frac{AB}{BC}</math> so <math>BD = BC^2/AB = 35^2/37</math> and similarly, <math>AD = 12^2/37</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note <math>IP=IQ=x</math>, <math>BP=BD</math>, and <math>AQ=AD</math>. So we have <math>AI = 144/37+x</math>, <math>BI = 1225/37+x</math>. Now we can compute the area of <math>\triangle ABI</math> in two ways: by heron's formula and by inradius times semiperimeter, which yields | ||
+ | |||
+ | <math>rs=210/37(37+x) = \sqrt{(37+x)(37-144/37)(37-1225/37)x}</math> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <math>210/37(37+x) = 12*35/37 \sqrt{x(37+x)}</math> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <math>37+x = 2 \sqrt{x(x+37)}</math> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <math>x^2+74x+1369 = 4x^2 + 148x</math> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <math>3x^2 + 74x - 1369 = 0</math> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The quadratic formula now yields <math>x=37/3</math>. Plugging this back in, the perimeter of <math>ABI</math> is <math>2s=2(37+x)=2(37+37/3) = 37(8/3)</math> so the ratio of the perimeter to <math>AB</math> is <math>8/3</math> and our answer is <math>8+3=\boxed{011}</math> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Solution 3== | ||
+ | As in Solution <math>2</math>, let <math>P</math> and <math>Q</math> be the intersections of <math>\omega</math> with <math>BI</math> and <math>AI</math> respectively. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Recall that the distance from a point outside a circle to that circle is the same along both tangent lines to the circle drawn from the point. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Recall also that the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle is the geometric mean of the two segments into which it cuts the hypotenuse. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Let <math>x = \overline{AD} = \overline{AQ}</math>. Let <math>y = \overline{BD} = \overline{BP}</math>. Let <math>z = \overline{PI} = \overline{QI}</math>. The semi-perimeter of <math>ABI</math> is <math>x + y + z</math>. | ||
+ | Since the lengths of the sides of <math>ABI</math> are <math>x + y</math>, <math>y + z</math> and <math>x + z</math>, the square of its area by Heron's formula is <math>(x+y+z)xyz</math>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The radius <math>r</math> of <math>\omega</math> is <math>\overline{CD}/2</math>. Therefore <math>r^2 = xy/4</math>. As <math>\omega</math> is the in-circle of <math>ABI</math>, the area of <math>ABI</math> is also <math>r(x+y+z)</math>, and so the square area is <math>r^2(x+y+z)^2</math>. | ||

The semi-perimeter of <math>ABI</math> is therefore <math>\frac{4}{3}(x+y)</math> and the whole perimeter is <math>\frac{8}{3}(x+y)</math>. Now <math>x + y = \overline{AB}</math>, so the ratio of the perimeter of <math>ABI</math> to the hypotenuse <math>\overline{AB}</math> is <math>8/3</math> and our answer is <math>8+3=\boxed{011}</math> | ||
