AIME 2018b Problem 14

  • Paper
  • Answer

The incircle ω\omega of triangle ABCABC is tangent to BC‾\overline{BC} at XX. Let Y≠XY \neq X be the other intersection of AX‾\overline{AX} with ω\omega. Points PP and QQ lie on AB‾\overline{AB} and AC‾\overline{AC}, respectively, so that PQ‾\overline{PQ} is tangent to ω\omega at YY. Assume that AP=3AP = 3, PB=4PB = 4, AC=8AC = 8, and AQ=mnAQ = \dfrac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm+n.
