Problem
Let be a parallelogram with
. A circle tangent to sides
,
, and
intersects diagonal
at points
and
with
, as shown. Suppose that
,
, and
. Then the area of
can be expressed in the form
, where
and
are positive integers, and
is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find
.
Solution
Let the circle tangent to at
separately, denote that
Using POP, it is very clear that , let
, using LOC in
,
, similarly, use LOC in
, getting that
. We use the second equation to minus the first equation, getting that
, we can get
.
Now applying LOC in , getting
, solving this equation to get
, then
,
, the area is
leads to
