Problem
Rectangles and
are drawn such that
are collinear. Also,
all lie on a circle. If
,
,
, and
, what is the length of
?
Solution 1
Suppose . Extend
and
until they meet at
. From the Power of a Point Theorem, we have
. Substituting in these values, we get
. Using simple guess and check, we find that
so

Solution 2
We use simple geometry to solve this problem.
We are given that ,
,
, and
are concyclic; call the circle that they all pass through circle
with center
. We know that, given any chord on a circle, the perpendicular bisector to the chord passes through the center; thus, given two chords, taking the intersection of their perpendicular bisectors gives the center. We therefore consider chords
and
and take the midpoints of
and
to be
and
, respectively.
We could draw the circumcircle, but actually it does not matter for our solution; all that matters is that , where
is the circumradius.
By the Pythagorean Theorem, . Also,
. We know that
, and
;
;
; and finally,
. Let
. We now know that
and
. Recall that
; thus,
. We solve for
:
\begin{align*} (x+92)^2+8^2&=25^2+92^2 \\ (x+92)^2&=625+(100-8)^2-8^2 \\ &=625+10000-1600+64-64 \\ &=9025 \\ x+92&=95 \\ x&=3. \\ \end{align*}
The question asks for , which is
.

Solution 3
We find that
Let and
. By similar triangles
we have
. Substituting lengths we have
Solving, we find

Solution 4
One liner:
~Bluesoul
Explanation
Let intersect
at
(using the same diagram as Solution 2).
The formula calculates the distance from to
(or
),
, then shifts it to
and the finds the distance from
to
,
.
minus that gives
, and when added to
, half of
, gives
Solution 5
Let This means that
Since quadrilateral
is cyclic,
Let Then, $\Delta DXA \~ \Delta FXG,$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) with side ratio
Also, since
Using the similar triangles, we have
and
Since we want we only need to solve for
in this system of equations. Solving yields
so
