Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with circumcenter $O$ and orthocenter $H.$ Let $E$ be the intersection of $BH$ and $AC$ and let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of $HB$ and $HO,$ respectively. Let $I$ be the incenter of $AEM$ and $J$ be the interseciton of $ME$ and $AI.$ If $AO=20,$ $AN=17,$ and $\angle{ANM}=90^{\circ},$ then $\frac{AI}{AJ}=\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime postive integers $m$ and $N$. Compute $100m+n.$

 

So for this problem I constructed the nine point circle centered at $N$ and I also got $AM=\sqrt{389}.$ But from here I don't really know how to solve it, can anyone give me hints or solutions? Thanks.

Hey there, HT!

 

So...

 

Assume O to be the centre of triangle ABC, OT cross BC at M, link XM and YM. Let P be the middle point of BT and Q be the middle point of CT, so we have MT=315. Since A=CBT=BCT we have cosA=1116. Notice that XTY=180A, so cosXYT=cosA, and this gives us 11432XY2=118XTYT. Since TM is perpendicular to BC, BXTM,  and CYTM cocycle (respectively), so θ1=ABC=MTX and θ2=ACB=YTM. So XPM=2θ1, so XM2XP=sinθ1, which yields XM=2XPsinθ1=BT(=CT)sinθ1=TY. So same we have YM=XT. Apply Ptolemy theorem in BXTM we have 16TY=11TX+315BX, and use the Pythagoras theorem we have BX2+XT2=162. Same in YTMC and triangle CYT we have 16TX=11TY+315CY and CY2+YT2=162. Solve this for XT and TY and submit it into the equation about cosXYT, we can obtain the result XY2=717.

 

Hope this helped! :)
