AIME 1994 Problem 2

  • Paper
  • Answer

A circle with diameter PQ‾\overline{PQ} of length 10 is internally tangent at PP to a circle of radius 20. Square ABCDABCD is constructed with AA and BB on the larger circle, CD‾\overline{CD} tangent at QQ to the smaller circle, and the smaller circle outside ABCDABCD. The length of AB‾\overline{AB} can be written in the form m+nm + \sqrt{n}, where mm and nn are integers. Find m+nm + n.

Note: The diagram was not given during the actual contest.
