Given two circles with radii $8$ and $6$ units with centers $A$ and $B$ such that $AB=12$ If $P$ is mid point of $QR$



Find Length of $QP$
enter image description here



My try:



I assumed $A(0,0)$ and $B(12,0)$



So the equations of circles are:



$$x^2+y^2=64$$



$$(x-12)^2+y^2=36$$



Solving above equations we get:



$$Pleft(frac436, fracsqrt4556right)$$



Then we can assume



$$Q(8cosalpha, 8sin alpha)$$



$$R(12+6cosbeta,6sinbeta)$$



Using mid point formula we get:



$$8cosalpha+6cosbeta=frac73$$



$$8sinalpha+6sinbeta=fracsqrt4553$$



Any idea here?

You don't need any trigonometry or analytical geometry. The following equations are quite obvious (Pythagora):



$$p^2+fracx^24=8^2=64tag1$$



$$q^2+fracx^24=6^2=36tag2$$



$$(p-q)^2+x^2=12^2=144tag3$$



Introduce substitution: $y=fracx^24$ and you get:



$$p=sqrt64-ytag4$$



$$q=sqrt36-ytag5$$



$$(p-q)^2+4y=144tag6$$



Replace (4) and (5) into (6):



$$(sqrt64-y-sqrt36-y)^2+4y=144$$



$$100-2y-2sqrt(64-y)(36-y)+4y=144$$



$$2y-44 = 2sqrt(64-y)(36-y)$$



$$y-22=sqrt(64-y)(36-y)$$



$$(y-22)^2=(64-y)(36-y)$$



$$(y-22)^2-(64-y)(36-y)=0$$



$$56y-1820=0$$



$$y=fracx^24=frac182056=frac652$$



$$x=sqrt130$$
