  • Paper
  • Answer

Eight spheres of radius 100 are placed on a flat surface so that each sphere is tangent to two others and their centers are the vertices of a regular octagon. A ninth sphere is placed on the flat surface so that it is tangent to each of the other eight spheres. The radius of this last sphere is a+bc,a +b\sqrt {c}, where a,b,a, b, and cc are positive integers, and cc is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find a+b+ca + b + c.
