AIME 2006b Problem 6

  • Paper
  • Answer

Square ABCDABCD has sides of length 1. Points EE and FF are on BC‾\overline{BC} and CD‾,\overline{CD}, respectively, so that △AEF\triangle AEF is equilateral. A square with vertex BB has sides that are parallel to those of ABCDABCD and a vertex on AE‾.\overline{AE}. The length of a side of this smaller square is a−bc,\frac{a-\sqrt{b}}{c}, where a,b,a, b, and cc are positive integers and bb is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find a+b+c.a+b+c.
