AMC 12 2006a Problem 17

  • Paper

Square ABCDABCD has side length ss, a circle centered at EE has radius rr, and rr and ss are both rational. The circle passes through DD, and DD lies on BE‾\overline{BE}. Point FF lies on the circle, on the same side of BE‾\overline{BE} as AA. Segment AFAF is tangent to the circle, and AF=9+52AF=\sqrt{9+5\sqrt{2}}. What is r/sr/s?
