AIME 2007a Problem 9

  • Paper
  • Answer

In right triangle ABCABC with right angle CC, CA=30CA = 30 and CB=16CB = 16. Its legs CACA and CBCB are extended beyond AA and BB. Points O1O_1 and O2O_2 lie in the exterior of the triangle and are the centers of two circles with equal radii. The circle with center O1O_1 is tangent to the hypotenuse and to the extension of leg CACA, the circle with center O2O_2 is tangent to the hypotenuse and to the extension of leg CBCB, and the circles are externally tangent to each other. The length of the radius either circle can be expressed as p/qp/q, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. Find p+qp+q.
