Problem 225: (2017 AMC 12a, 24)
Quadrilateral $ABCD$ is inscribed in circle $O$ and has side lengths $AB=3, BC=2, CD=6$, and $DA=8$. Let $X$ and $Y$ be points on $\overline{BD}$ such that $\frac{DX}{BD} = \frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{BY}{BD} = \frac{11}{36}$. Let $E$ be the intersection of line $AX$ and the line through $Y$ parallel to $\overline{AD}$. Let $F$ be the intersection of line $CX$ and the line through $E$ parallel to $\overline{AC}$. Let $G$ be the point on circle $O$ other than $C$ that lies on line $CX$. What is $XF\cdot XG$? $\textbf{(A) }17\qquad$ $\textbf{(B) }\frac{59 - 5\sqrt{2}}{3}\qquad$ $\textbf{(C) }\frac{91 - 12\sqrt{3}}{4}\qquad$ $\textbf{(D) }\frac{67 - 10\sqrt{2}}{3}\qquad$ $\textbf{(E) }18$
Solution
Exercise 225: Solution
Quadrilateral $ABCD$ is inscribed in circle $O$ and has side lengths $AB=4$, $BC=6$, $CD=7$, and $DA=12$. Let $X$ and $Y$ be points on $\overline{BD}$ such that $DX/BD=1/5$ and $BY/BD=3/8$. Let $E$ be the intersection of line $AX$ and the line through $Y$ parallel to $\overline{AD}$. Let $F$ be the intersection of line $CX$ and the line through $E$ parallel to $\overline{AC}$. Let $G$ be the point on circle $O$ other than $C$ that lies on line $CX$. What is $XF\cdot XG$?
