Let A,B,CA, B, C be points in that order along a line, such that AB=20A B=20 and BC=18B C=18. Let ω\omega be a circle of nonzero radius centered at BB, and let ℓ1\ell_{1} and ℓ2\ell_{2} be tangents to ω\omega through AA and CC, respectively. Let KK be the intersection of ℓ1\ell_{1} and ℓ2\ell_{2}. Let XX lie on segment KA‾\overline{K A} and YY lie on segment KC‾\overline{K C} such that XY∥BCX Y \| B C and XYX Y is tangent to ω\omega. What is the largest possible integer length for XYX Y ?
