In right ABC, hypotenuse AB = 10, and AC = 8, so First, let [AEP] = a, [AFP] = b, and [ECP] = c. Thus,
BC = 6. we can easily find that
AEP = 3 = 1 [BPD] = 3[AEP] = 3a. Now,

This gives us 52 + 42 + m2 = (120) . It then follows due to alternate interior angles and

Since the quadrilateral is cyclic (because we want to
a2b2 − 6a2b − 6ab2 + 9a2 + 18ab + 9b2 = 9a2 + 9b2 maximize the circle, so we set the quadrilateral to be

since ab 0, we can divide both sides by ab without the circle have center O and radius r. Note that OH
