Problem B. 4858. (March 2017)

B. 4858. Points \(\displaystyle A\) and \(\displaystyle B\) are separated by a unit distance. The unit circles \(\displaystyle k_A\) and \(\displaystyle k_B\) centred at \(\displaystyle A\) and \(\displaystyle B\) intersect at points \(\displaystyle C\) and \(\displaystyle D\), respectively. Let \(\displaystyle k_C\) denote the circle centred at \(\displaystyle C\) and passing through \(\displaystyle D\). \(\displaystyle F\) is that intersection of line \(\displaystyle AC\) and circle \(\displaystyle k_C\) which is farther away from \(\displaystyle A\). \(\displaystyle G\) is the other intersection of circle \(\displaystyle k_A\) and line \(\displaystyle DF\). Show that \(\displaystyle \angle GAD=90^\circ\).

Megoldás. Használjuk az ábra jelöléseit. Mivel \(\displaystyle ABC\) és \(\displaystyle ADB\) egyenlő oldalúak, ezért az \(\displaystyle ACD\) egyenlőszárú háromszögben \(\displaystyle A\angle=120^\circ\) és \(\displaystyle C\angle=D\angle=30^\circ\). Így a \(\displaystyle CFD\) egyenlőszárú háromszögben \(\displaystyle C\angle=150^{\circ}\) és \(\displaystyle D\angle=15^\circ\). A \(\displaystyle k_A\) kör \(\displaystyle CG\) íven nyugvó kerületi szögei \(\displaystyle GDC\angle=CEG\angle=15^\circ\), s így \(\displaystyle GAE\) egyenlőszárú háromszögben \(\displaystyle A\angle=150^\circ\). Mivel a \(\displaystyle DAE\triangle\) szabályos, \(\displaystyle GAD\angle=GAE\angle-DAE\angle=150^\circ-60^\circ=90^\circ\), ahogy állítottuk.
