Crossed Line Segments

Geometry Level 4

Line segments A B AB and C D CD intersect (internally) at point E E . We are given that A E = 20 AE=20 , E B = 12 EB= 12 , C E = 10 CE=10 and E D = 24 ED = 24 . What are the last 3 digits of the expression A C × B D + B C × A D AC \times BD + BC \times AD ?

Details and assumptions

If you think that the last 3 digits are 012, then you can enter either 12 or 012 as your numerical answer.


The answer is 88.

Since A E × E B = C E × E D = 240 AE \times EB = CE \times ED = 240 , by the converse of power of point theorem, quadrilateral ACBD is cyclic. Since ACBD is cyclic, by ptolemy theorem, A C × B D + B C × A D = A B × C D = ( 12 + 20 ) × ( 10 + 24 ) = 1088 AC \times BD + BC \times AD = AB \times CD = (12 + 20) \times (10 + 24) = 1088 , thus the last 3 digit is 088 088 .

Students who were familiar with the advanced topics of Power of a Point and Ptolemy's theorem saw a quick way to solve this problem.

Mark shows how to simply use cosine rule to approach this problem, due to the similar triangles involved.

Observe that Δ A C E \Delta ACE and Δ D B E \Delta DBE are similar, and Δ A E D \Delta AED and Δ C E B \Delta CEB are similar. Let x = A C x = AC and y = B C y = BC . Then B D = 1.2 x BD = 1.2x and A D = 2 y AD=2y by ratio of similar triangles. Furthermore, A C × B D + B C × A D = 1.2 x 2 + 2 y 2 . AC \times BD + BC \times AD = 1.2 x^2 + 2y^2.

Let A E C = θ \angle AEC = \theta . By the cosine law, we have x 2 = 2 0 2 + 1 0 2 2 × 20 × 10 cos θ = 500 400 cos θ x^2 = 20^2 + 10^2 - 2 \times 20 \times 10 \cos \theta = 500 - 400 \cos \theta and y 2 = 1 0 2 + 1 2 2 2 × 10 × 12 cos ( 180 θ ) = 244 + 240 cos θ . y^2 = 10^2 + 12^2 - 2 \times 10 \times 12 \cos (180 - \theta) = 244 + 240 \cos \theta . Hence, A C × B D + B C × A D = 1.2 x 2 + 2 y 2 = 1.2 ( 500 400 cos θ ) + 2 ( 244 + 240 cos θ ) = 1088. AC \times BD + BC \times AD = 1.2 x^2 + 2y^2 = 1.2 (500 - 400 \cos \theta) + 2 (244 + 240 \cos \theta) = 1088.

AE EB=20 12=240 CE ED=10 24=240. Thus, by the Power of a Point Theorem, AB and CD are chords of the same circle. Thus, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Through Ptolemy's Theorem, AC BD+BC AD=AB CD in a cyclic quadrilateral. Since ABCD is cyclic, AC BD+BC AD=(20+12) (10+24)=1088. ITs last 3 digits is 088.

Note that AExEB=20x12=240=24x10=EDxEC, by Power of Point Theorem, ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral. By Ptolemy's Theorem, ACxBD+BCxAD=ABxCD=34x32=1088 Therefore, the last three digits are 088

Note that ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral since AE EB = CE ED. We can then apply Ptolemy's: AC BD+BC AD = AB CD. AB = AE+EB = 20+12 = 32, CD = CE+ED = 10+24 = 34. So, AB CD = 32 34 = 1088, and so is AC BD + BC*AD, so the last three digits are 088.

Since 20 × 12 = 10 × 24 20 \times 12=10 \times 24 , we can use converse of Power of a Point to deduce that A, B, C, and D are concyclic. By Ptolemy's Theorem, we have that A C × B D + B C × A D = A B × C D AC \times BD+BC \times AD=AB \times CD . Thus, A C × B D + B C × A D = ( A E + B E ) × ( C E + D E ) = 32 × 34 = 1088 AC \times BD+BC \times AD=(AE+BE)\times(CE+DE) = 32 \times 34 = 1088 . Thus, the answer is 88 or 088.

Just giving suitable or comfortable values for the Vertices. you can choose any starting point on the X-Y coordinate Axes. I started with A =(0,0) and assumed AB on X axis(as no condition is given not to assume) and also AE = 20 implies point E=(20,0) so B becomes (32,0) as EB=12, similarly extending the same logic to CD(assuming AB perpendicular to CD and meeting at point E. we get D=(20,24), C=(20,10) Now get the values of AC,AD,BC,BD using distance formula and relate the terms and get the answer.

Yes, it is wrong. See here .

If the lines intersect perpendicularly, then we can find the sides AC,BD,BC and AD using Pythagoras theorem. Using Pythagoras theorem, AC = 10 5 \sqrt{5} , AD = 4 61 \sqrt{61} , BD = 12 5 \sqrt{5} , and BC = 2 61 \sqrt{61} . By substituting these values in the given expression, we get the answer as 1088. So, the last three digits were 088.

Let A B AB and C D CD be the chords of a circle with a radius r r . So, by Ptolemy's Theorem, we know

A B C D = A C B D + B C A D AB \cdot CD = AC \cdot BD + BC \cdot AD

Plug in the values, we will have A C B D + B C A D = 32 × 34 = 1088 88 ( m o d 100 ) AC \cdot BD + BC \cdot AD = 32 \times 34 = 1088 \equiv \boxed{88} \pmod {100}

Instead of writing "Let", you could have proven the first point.

Since A E × E B = C E × E D \,AE\times EB=CE \times ED , then by using a cyclic quadrilateral's formula we can obtain that A C × B D + B C × A D = A B × C D = 1088. AC\times BD + BC \times AD = AB\times CD=1088. Thus, the last 3 digits are 088 \;\boxed{088} . # Q . E . D . # \text{\# }\mathbb{Q}.\mathbb{E}.\mathbb{D}.\text{\#}

AE times EB = CE times ED. This implies power of point and that line segs AB and CD are chords in a circle. These form diagonals of a cyclic quadrilateral and using Ptolemy's theorem. We obtain 1088 so the answer is 88
