As shown in the figure, let CG=t,AG=16−t.
Let ∠CBG=θ,∠ACB=α.
Then ∠CAB=θ (eq. chords eq. ∠ s)
Then △BCG∼△ACB (equiangular)
t:8=8:16 (ratio of sides, ∼Δs )
t=4
It is easy to see that △ADG∼△BCG (equiangular)
(16−t):y=x:t (ratio of sides, ∼Δs ) (16−4)×4=xyxy=48
Assume that x and y are integers, then possible pairs of (x,y) are (1,48),(2,24),….,(6,8),…,(48,1).
Using triangle inequality x+t>8 and 8+t>x in △BCG, the only possible combinations are:
(x,y)=(6,8) or (8,6)c=x+y=14
