Problem
A lattice point in an -coordinate system is any point
where both
and
are integers. The graph of
passes through no lattice point with
for all
such that
. What is the maximum possible value of
?
Solution
Since , quadrilateral
is cyclic. It follows that
. In addition, since
, triangles
and
are similar. It follows that
. By Ptolemy, we have
. Cancelling
, the rest is easy. We obtain $DF=\frac{16}{5}\implies{16+5=21}\implies{\boxed{\textbf{(B)} 21}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
