Problem
In 
, 
, and 
. A circle with center 
and radius 
intersects 
at points 
and 
. Moreover 
and 
have integer lengths. What is 
?
Solution
Let 
, 
, and 
meet the circle at 
and 
, with on . Then 
. Using the Power of a Point, we get that 
. We know that 
, and that 
by the triangle inequality on 
. Thus, we get that
