Mathcounts National Sprint Round Problems And Solutions ((new))

Intermediate problem-solving requiring clever insights, algebraic manipulation, or geometric visualization.

This negative value indicates an error in assuming the center lies on the positive x-direction relative to the y-axis, meaning the circle expands to the left, or our geometric orientation requires re-verification. Let us pivot to an elegant, pure geometric approach using to avoid sign errors. Let the circle intersect ABcap A cap B (tangent point). Consider the power of point with respect to the circle. Point is outside the circle. A line from cuts the circle at and another point, say . Another line from BCcap B cap C Instead, let's look at the power of point BAcap B cap A is a tangent segment to the circle at BCcap B cap C is a secant line cutting the circle at and another point. Wait, the circle intersects BCcap B cap C , so the secant from BCcap B cap C , which intersects the circle at and another point. Since the circle passes through , and is tangent at , the power of point

A=21⋅7⋅8⋅6=3⋅7⋅7⋅23⋅2⋅3=72⋅32⋅24=7⋅3⋅4=84cap A equals the square root of 21 center dot 7 center dot 8 center dot 6 end-root equals the square root of 3 center dot 7 center dot 7 center dot 2 cubed center dot 2 center dot 3 end-root equals the square root of 7 squared center dot 3 squared center dot 2 to the fourth power end-root equals 7 center dot 3 center dot 4 equals 84 The inradius ( can be found using the formula 84=r⋅21⟹r=484 equals r center dot 21 ⟹ r equals 4 Next, find the altitude ( relative to the base BCcap B cap C Mathcounts National Sprint Round Problems And Solutions

Using the total divisor formula, we add 1 to each exponent and multiply:
