- Points A, B, C in the plane satisfy AB = 2002 , AC = 9999. The circles withdiameters AB and AC intersect at A and D . If AD = 37, what is the shortest distance frompoint A to line BC ?
Solution: ∠ ADB = ∠ ADC = π/ 2 since D lies on the circles with AB and AC as 11
diameters, so D is the foot of the perpendicular from A to line BC , and the answer is thegiven 37 .
