Circles

Given that ω1\omega_1 and ω2\omega_2 are two circles which intersects at points XX and YY. Let PP be an arbitrary points on ω1\omega_1. Suppose that the lines PXPX and PYPY meet ω2\omega_2 again at points AA and BB, respectively.

Prove that the circumcircles of all triangles PABPAB have the same radius.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Problem 1 Problem 1

We can see that as we move the point PP on the circumference of the circle[[excluding XX and Y],Y],the XPY=XP1Y\angle XPY=\angle XP_1Y remains constant.So this shows that AB=A1B1.AB=A_1B_1.Now we use extended sin rule to complete the problem.
Let the circum-radius of PAB\triangle PAB be RR and P1A1B1\triangle P_1A_1B_1 be R1.R_1.
In PAB,ABsinP=2R\triangle PAB, \frac{AB}{sin\angle P}=2R and in P1A1B1,A1B1sinP1=ABsinP=2R1.\triangle P_1A_1B_1,\frac{A_1B_1}{sin\angle P_1}=\frac{AB}{sin\angle P}=2R_1. Therefore 2R=2R1R=R1.2R=2R_1\Rightarrow\boxed {R=R_1}.Hence Proved.

Thanks...My fav. is geometry.I see that u like olympiad problems.Can u give some links of ur problems?did u get selected in INMO??

Ayush G Rai - 4 years, 7 months ago

@Ayush G Rai I have many interesting books regarding IMO. I post problems from there only.

I have that books in PDF.

Actually I am attending KVS INMO camp for INMO 2017. I have to give INMO directly.

By the way, from which book you do geometry problems?

@Priyanshu Mishra Sometimes co-exter or pre-college maths.Can u give the pdf of the books to this email : raiayush234@gmail.com

Ayush G Rai - 4 years, 7 months ago

@Priyanshu Mishra and also give the INMO paper to this email.Did u write RMO this year

Ayush G Rai - 4 years, 7 months ago

yeah.Are you appearing for this year's rmo?

Sayantan Saha - 4 years, 8 months ago

A problem copied from IF Sharygin Plane geometry. This is bad.

Priyanshu Mishra - 4 years, 8 months ago

Why will I copy? This is RMO Delhi's problem

Sayantan Saha - 4 years, 8 months ago

What I am saying and what are you understanding.

I am blaming RMO people that they have took this problem from a popular book which usually does not happen.

@Priyanshu Mishra The inequality problem in Delhi region was also copied.I don't remember the source, but I had seen it before RMO on some forum.

This is disappointing :(

@Harsh Shrivastava Actually this year Delhi paper was prepared by Delhi coordinator only not by HBCSE. So he copied many things because framing a question requires a lot of time.

Priyanshu Mishra - 4 years, 8 months ago

This is there in IF Sharygin, plane geometry.

Priyanshu Mishra - 4 years, 8 months ago

@Harsh Shrivastava, @Ayush Rai,

I have 36 Olympiad books related to IMO. Do you want all of them?

@Ayush G Rai That is not so good. It's good for reading only. It has less computational problems.
