2009 AIME I Problem 12


In right ABC\triangle ABC with hypotenuse AB\overline{AB}, AC=12AC = 12, BC=35BC = 35, and CD\overline{CD} is the altitude to AB\overline{AB}. Let ω\omega be the circle having CD\overline{CD} as a diameter. Let II be a point outside ABC\triangle ABC such that AI\overline{AI} and BI\overline{BI} are both tangent to circle ω\omega. The ratio of the perimeter of ABI\triangle ABI to the length ABAB can be expressed in the form mn\displaystyle\frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm+n.


Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034. Full credit goes to MAA for authoring these problems. These problems were taken on the AOPS website.
