Correct answer: 121
- Set up the circle
Since the circle touches both coordinate axes, its center must be at equal distance from both axes. So let the center be with radius .
Therefore, the points of contact with the axes are: So the line passes through and .
Its equation is
- Use the condition that lies on the circle
The circle equation is Since lies on it, Expanding,
- Use the distance from to line
Given that is the foot of perpendicular from to , we have So, Given and is above the line , hence Therefore,
- Substitute into the circle condition
From (1): Let Then So (1) becomes Hence, But from the distance condition, So, Thus,
- Final answer
