Level pending

Let A A and B B be two distinct points on a circle Γ \Gamma that are not diametrically opposite. Let B B' be the diametrically opposite point of B B on Γ . \Gamma. Let C C be the point on Γ \Gamma apart from B B such that B A = A C , B'A= AC, and let C C' be the diametrically opposite point of C C on Γ . \Gamma. If A C = 5 , AC'= 5, find the distance between A A and B . B.

Details and assumptions

  • The diametrically opposite point of X X on a circle ω \omega is the unique point X X' on ω \omega apart from X X such that X X XX' is a diameter of ω . \omega.


The answer is 5.
