Problem #224

Circles and a Point

Given integer a = 100.

Consider points A(2a,0), B(0,2a), C(a,0), D(0,a) and a line AB.

Point E is on the line at point (x,y) and the circles intersect again at point F.

As Point E moves from A to B let the distance traveled by point F be d.

Find [d]. Where [.] is the greatest integer function.

Note: A new pair of circles is formed for every location of E using the points ACE and BDE. The second point of intersection is labeled F
