AIME 2018a Problem 15

  • Paper
  • Answer

David found four sticks of different lengths that can be used to form three non-congruent convex cyclic quadrilaterals, A, B, CA,\text{ }B,\text{ }C, which can each be inscribed in a circle with radius 11. Let φA\varphi_A denote the measure of the acute angle made by the diagonals of quadrilateral AA, and define φB\varphi_B and φC\varphi_C similarly. Suppose that sin⁡φA=23\sin\varphi_A=\tfrac{2}{3}, sin⁡φB=35\sin\varphi_B=\tfrac{3}{5}, and sin⁡φC=67\sin\varphi_C=\tfrac{6}{7}. All three quadrilaterals have the same area KK, which can be written in the form mn\dfrac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm+n.
