Problem

$\triangle DEF$ is inscribed inside $\triangle ABC$ such that $D,E,F$ lie on $BC, AC, AB$ , respectively. The circumcircles of $\triangle DEC, \triangle BFD, \triangle AFE$ have centers $O_1,O_2,O_3$ , respectively. Also, $AB = 23, BC = 25, AC=24$ , and $\stackrel{\frown}{BF} = \stackrel{\frown}{EC},\ \stackrel{\frown}{AF} = \stackrel{\frown}{CD},\ \stackrel{\frown}{AE} = \stackrel{\frown}{BD}$ . The length of $BD$ can be written in the form $\frac mn$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime integers. Find $m+n$ .

Solution

$[asy] pointpen = black; pathpen = black; pair A=(0,0),B=(23,0),C=IP(Circle(A,24),Circle(B,25)); D(MP("A",A)--MP("B",B)--MP("C",C,N)--cycle); pair D=(B+C)/2,E=(A+C)/2,F=(A+B)/2; D(circumcircle(MP("D",D),MP("E",E),C)); D(circumcircle(B,MP("F",F),D)); D(circumcircle(A,F,E)); [/asy]$
