  • Paper

In quadrilateral ABCDABCD, AB=5AB = 5, BC=17BC = 17, CD=5CD = 5, DA=9DA = 9, and BDBD is an integer. What is BDBD?

unitsize(4mm);
defaultpen(linewidth(.8pt)+fontsize(8pt));
dotfactor=4;

pair C=(0,0), B=(17,0);
pair D=intersectionpoints(Circle(C,5),Circle(B,13))[0];
pair A=intersectionpoints(Circle(D,9),Circle(B,5))[0];
pair[] dotted={A,B,C,D};

draw(D--A--B--C--D--B);
dot(dotted);
label("DD",D,NW);
label("CC",C,W);
label("BB",B,E);
label("AA",A,NE);
