XYZ Triangle

Geometry Level pending

Given A B C \triangle ABC with circumcircle Γ \Gamma , let X X be the midpoint of arc B A C BAC and let Y , Z Y, Z be the tangency points of the B , C B, C excircle with A C , A B AC, AB , respectively. If X Y = 7 , Y Z = 8 XY = 7, YZ = 8 find [ X Y Z ] [XYZ] . The answer can be expressed as p q p\sqrt{q} where p , q p,q are positive integers and q q is square free. As your answer, submit p + q p+q .


The answer is 37.

X B Z X C Y \triangle XBZ \cong \triangle XCY by SAS. So X Y = X Z XY = XZ which means X Y Z \triangle XYZ has side lengths 7 , 8 , 8 7,8,8 and area 4 33 4\sqrt{33} .
