AIME 2024b Problem 12

  • Paper
  • Answer

Let O=(0,0)O=(0,0), A=(12,0)A=\left(\tfrac{1}{2},0\right), and B=(0,32)B=\left(0,\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) be points in the coordinate plane. Let F\mathcal{F} be the family of segments PQ‾\overline{PQ} of unit length lying in the first quadrant with PP on the xx-axis and QQ on the yy-axis. There is a unique point CC on AB‾\overline{AB}, distinct from AA and BB, that does not belong to any segment from F\mathcal{F} other than AB‾\overline{AB}. Then OC2=pqOC^2=\tfrac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. Find p+qp+q.
