AHSME 1983 Problem 29

    A point PP lies in the same plane as a given square of side 11. Let the vertices of the square, taken counterclockwise, be A,B,CA, B, C and DD. Also, let the distances from PP to A,BA, B and CC, respectively, be u,vu, v and ww. What is the greatest distance that PP can be from DD if u2+v2=w2u^2 + v^2 = w^2? (A) 1+2(B) 22(C) 2+2(D) 32(E) 3+2\textbf{(A)}\ 1 + \sqrt{2} \textbf{(B)}\ 2\sqrt{2} \textbf{(C)}\ 2 + \sqrt{2} \textbf{(D)}\ 3\sqrt{2} \textbf{(E)}\ 3+\sqrt{2}
