Geometry Level 5

Let A B C P ABCP be a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle Γ \Gamma such that P B = P C PB=PC and B A C \angle BAC is obtuse. Let I I be the incenter of triangle A B C ABC and suppose that line P I PI intersects again Γ \Gamma at point J J ( J J belongs to the major arc B C BC ). If B J = 10 BJ=10 , J C = 17 JC=17 and sin B J C = 77 85 \sin \angle BJC=\frac{77}{85} , then the value of A B A C \frac{AB}{AC} can be written as a b \frac{a}{b} , where a a and b b are coprime positive integers. What is the value of a + b a+b ?

Details and assumptions

The order of the vertices is A , B , C , P A, B, C, P . In particular, P P lies on the minor arc of B C BC which contains A A .


The answer is 91.
