- Answer
Circles and have radii and , respectively, and are externally tangent at point . Point is on and point is on so that line is a common external tangent of the two circles. A line through intersects again at and intersects again at . Points and lie on the same side of , and the areas of and are equal. This common area is , where and are relatively prime positive integers. Find .
