I get that
the length of "?"
is 3a/5.
This is probably the
longest possible way,
so here goes.
Let the two points
on the left and right ends
of the line labled "?"
be P and Q.
Put the origin at the base of the circle
near "a".
Let
$angle DAP = angle ADQ
=g$,
and let
$sin g = s,
cos g = c,
tan g = t
$.
The equation of
$AP$ is
$y = t(a/2-x)
$
and
the equation of
$BQ$ is
$y = t(x+a/2)
$.
These intersect when
$x = 0$
at $(0, at/2)$.
This is
the center of the circle.
Call this $R$.
The distance $AP = a$,
and
$begin{array}\
AR^2
&=(a/2)^2+(ta/2)^2\
&=(a/2)^2(1+t^2)\
&=(a/2)^2(1+(s/c)^2)\
&=(a/2)^2(1/c)^2\
text{so}\
AR
&=a/(2c)
end{array}
$
Therefore the radius
of the circle is
$a-a/(2c)
=a(1-1/(2c))
$.
But this has to be
$at/2$,
so
$at/2
=a(1-1/(2c))
$
or
$t
=2-1/c
$
or
$s/c = 2-1/c$
or
$s = 2c-1$.
Squaring,
$4c^2-4c+1
=s^2
=1-c^2
$,
so
$5c^2 = 4c$
so
$c = 0$
or
$c = 4/5$.
From this,
$s = sqrt{1-16/25}
=3/5$,
and,
indeed,
$s = 2c-1$.
Also,
$t = s/c = 3/4$.
If point $P$
is at
$(-u, v)$,
then
$(u+a/2)^2+v^2 = a^2
$
and
$v/(u+a/2)
=t$
or
$v = t(u+a/2)
$
so
$begin{array}\
a^2
&=(u+a/2)^2+t(u+a/2)^2 \
&=(u+a/2)^2(1+t^2)\
&=(u+a/2)^2(1/c^2)\
text{so}\
ac
&=u+a/2\
text{or}\
u
&=a(c-1/2)\
&=3a/10\
end{array}
$
Finally,
the length of $?$ is
$2u = 6a/10
=3a/5
$.
