Q S is the perpendicular bisector of B D ⟹ O Q is a radii of the circle with center O .
Using the Pythagorean theorem ⟹ C B = p 2 + 1 and m ∠ A = 9 0 ∘ ⟹
m ( C D B ) = m ( C A B ) = 1 8 0 ∘ ⟹ C B is a diameter of the above circle ⟹
R = 2 C B = 2 p 2 + 1 ⟹ O S = R − 1 ⟹ B S 2 = R 2 − ( R − 1 ) 2 = 2 R − 1 =
p 2 ⟹ B S = p ⟹ B D = 2 p = A P
⟹ △ A B D is an isosceles triangle ⟹ B E is the ⊥ bisector of A D ⟹
A D = 2 A E
△ A B C ⟹ sin ( θ ) = p 2 + 1 p 2 − 1 and cos ( θ ) = p 2 + 1 2 p ⟹
E B = 2 p cos ( θ ) = p 2 + 1 4 p 2 and A E = 2 p sin ( θ ) = p 2 + 1 2 p ( p 2 − 1 ) ⟹
A D = p 2 + 1 4 p ( p 2 − 1 )
⟹ △ A D B = 2 1 ( A D ∗ E B ) = ( p 2 + 1 ) 2 8 p 3 ( p 2 − 1 )
and
△ A B C = p ( p 2 − 1 ) ⟹ △ A B C △ A D B = ( p 2 + 1 ) 2 8 p 2 = 2 5 3 2
⟹ 2 0 0 p 2 = 3 2 p 4 + 6 4 p 2 + 3 2 ⟹ 4 p 4 − 1 7 p 2 + 4 = 0 ⟹
( p 2 − 4 ) ( 4 p 2 − 1 ) = 0 ⟹ p = ± 2 , p = ± 2 1 and p > 1 ⟹ p = 2 .
