Problem

Let $\overline{AB}$ be a diameter in a circle of radius $5\sqrt2.$ Let $\overline{CD}$ be a chord in the circle that intersects $\overline{AB}$ at a point $E$ such that $BE=2\sqrt5$ and $\angle AEC = 45^{\circ}.$ What is $CE^2+DE^2?$

$\textbf{(A)}\ 96 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 98 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 44\sqrt5 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 70\sqrt2 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 100$

Solution

Let $O$ be the center of the circle, and $X$ be the midpoint of $\overline{CD}$. Let $CX=a$ and $EX=b$. This implies that $DE = a - b$. Since $CE = CX + EX = a + b$, we now want to find $(a+b)^2+(a-b)^2=2(a^2+b^2)$. Since $\angle CXO$ is a right angle, by Pythagorean theorem $a^2 + b^2 = CX^2 + OX^2 = (5\sqrt{2})^2=50$. Thus, our answer is $2(50)=\boxed{\textbf{(E) } 100}$.
