Let be a unit square. Suppose and are points on and respectively such that the perimeter of triangle is 2 . Let be the circumcentre of triangle and be the circumcentre of triangle . If for some relatively prime positive integers and , find the value of .

Correct answer
03
Step-by-step solution
circumradius of circumradius of So \left(\frac{1}{2 \cos \alpha}\right)^2\triangle M C N=2=(1-x)+(1-y)+M N \Rightarrow \quad M N=x+y\triangle A B MAA BA D90^{\circ}\triangle A M N=\triangle A M^{\prime} N2 \alpha=90^{\circ} \therefore \quad \alpha=45^{\circ}\left(\frac{O P}{O A}\right)^2=\frac{1}{2}=\frac{m}{n} \therefore \quad m+n=3
