Triangle has and . Let be the point on such that . There are exactly two points and on line such that quadrilaterals and are trapezoids. What is the distance
Solutions
Solution 1
Using Stewart's Theorem of calculate the cevian to be . It then follows that the answer must also have a factor of the . Having eliminated 3 answer choices, we then proceed to draw a rudimentary somewhat accurate diagram of this figure. Drawing that, we realize that is too small making out answer
