Bro points

Geometry Level 3

Consider a circle of radius r r with centre O O . A point A A lies inside the circle. Point B B lies outside the circle. B B is called bro of A A if the following relation holds:

  1. O O , A A , and B B are collinear.
  2. The tangent from B B touches the circle at C C and B A C = 9 0 \angle{BAC} = 90^\circ .

Now if A A moves along a circle that passes through O O and has a diameter d d such that d = r 4 d=\frac{r}{4} . Assuming B B is always bro of A A , what is the distance between A A and B B when B B is closest to O O ?

If the answer is a b r \dfrac ab r , where a a and b b are positive coprime integers, enter a + b a+b as your answer.


The answer is 19.
